CIAC Class Championships Recap

Class MM Girls


Highlights:

Kisha Francois got the triple by taking the 100m and 200m and also the long jump, while freshman Olivia Walters captured the 400m in a young field. Ava Graham lost out to Berlin's Megan Perrotta on the anchor leg of the 4x800m, but she came back to hold off Perrotta in the 800m. Anna Steffen took the 1600m and then came very close to the meet record in the 3200m. Mariella Schweitzer dominated the hurdles and takes the best seed times into the Open at both distances.

Joel Barlow took the 4x100m while Berlin won the 4x400m by more than 5 seconds and the 4x800m by .02 seconds.

In the field events, Nia Christie got the HJ-TJ double, while Leah Moore broke the meet record in the shot put while also winning the discus, and sophomore Alice Stettinger defended her top billing in the javelin.
