Tiger Girls Beat Gallatin With Room to Spare

One day after beating Gallatin by 1 1/2 points at Albany, Worth County's girls won this time with room to spare. They finished with a team total of 106 points to 76.25 for Gallatin to win their home meet Thursday.

Placing second in the High Jump was Alysa Lyle with a leap of 4'6" in the high winds.

Claire Andrews continued to break barriers in the Pole Vault. One day after setting a personal best, she broke the meet record and improved her height with a vault of 8'3", good enough to win. That leap would have placed her second in the boys' event. Kaylee Sherer finished fourth with a leap of 6 feet.

Katie Mullock continued to make strides in the Long Jump, this time placing third with a jump of 14'3". In the Triple Jump, Sydney Thummel was fourth with a jump of 28'1".

Kaitlyn Davidson was sixth in the Discus with a throw of 68'1/2". She was fourth in the Shot Put with a throw of 29'7".

In the 75 Meter Hurdles, Sydney Thummel fell and barely finished the race to get 6th, but Alysa Lyle won the event with a time of 13.91. Katie Mullock was 5th in the 100 with a time of 13.87; the times were way down because the direction was changed due to the high winds that day.

Worth County's girls continued to edge out Gallatin in the 4x200. This time, they won with a time of 2:03.18, which was 65 hundreths of a second ahead of Gallatin.

The Tigers placed two in the 1600. Kaylee Sherer placed second again in the mile with a time of 6:25.79. Samantha Thorburn continued her rapid improvement in that event as she was fourth with a time of 6:39.10. That was over 15 seconds better than her Albany time.

Worth County won the 4x100 as the team of Claire Andrews, Tiffany Davis, Katie Mullock, and Alysa Lyle won with a time of 58.31. That was 1.27 seconds ahead of King City, who had beaten them out at Albany.

Placing second in the 800 was Kristen Andrews with a time of 2:45.09. That was a little under three seconds behind King City's Kailey Salmon.

Sydney Thummel was third in the 200 with a run of 30.50 for the Tigers.

The 4x400 team of Kristen Andrews, Elizabeth Novak, Kaylee Sherer, and Sydney Thummel was second behind Gallatin with a run of 4:46.61.
