Girls Sprints
55m Hurdles
Meet Record: 8.22 Last Year's Winner: Patricia Jurkowski (Seymour) 8.86
The hurdles are a deep and competitive event, as as last year's 19th-pace finisher Olivia Suter of Somers leads the field at a 9:07 mark and is closely followed by East Hampton's Brylee Montanari at 9.12 and Bloomfield's Elicia Colon at 9.14. Also in the mix are likely Old Saybrook's Autumn Szucs at 9.20, Granby's Lauren Roy at 9.32, and Bloomfield's Johniece Jones at 9.35
55m
Meet Record: 7.03 Last Year's Winner: Terry Miller (Bloomfield) 7.03*
The seeds for the top three positions are reversed from last year's finish, as Cromwell's Andraya Yearwood leads at 7.06, Canton's Chelsea Mitchell is second at 7.14, and reigning champ Terry Miller of Bloomfield is at 7.33. Two others expected to be on the finals line are Kedarjeh Lewis of Haddam-Killingsworth at 7.45 and Platt's Mu'Muna Ibn-Millington at 7.50.
300m
Meet Record: 39.81 Last Year's Winner: Terry Miller (Bloomfield) 39.91
Chelsea Mitchell of Canton did not compete in the 300m last year, but she is the decided favorite this year at 41.60. A tight pack behind her includes Bloomfield's Elicia Colon (41.60), Haddam-Killingworth's Kedarjah Lewis (42.67), Capital Prep's Brienna Westbury (42.84), and Seymour's Katherine Bruno (42.86).
600m
Meet Record: 1:37.49 Last Year's Winner: Jillian Mars (Bloomfield) 1:39.51
Immaculate's Molly Coyle scratched from the 600m last year but enters this year's race as the favorite off of a 1:38.6 win in the SWC. Old Saybrook's Grace Hanratty scratched from both the 600m and 1600m and won the 1000m, so she may not be on the line as the second seed here. Others who could be vying here are Bloomfield's Mauricea Francis at 1:42.91, Abbot Tech's Narissa Shiland at 1:43.58, Somers' Olivia Suter at 1:44.01, and last year's silver medalist Jadyn Gibson of Bloomfield at 1:44.21.
