The Worth County Junior High girls track team won the GRC title Wednesday, beating out Gallatin for the win. They finished with 94.33 points to 82 for Gallatin. They were well ahead of the competition. The girls had their best showing of the year in both the 100 and the Long Jump in order to get critical points to beat out Gallatin.
Aubrey Staton was second in the Discus with a throw of 61'3". Grace Schottel once again showed her versatility as an athlete; she tried her hand at the High Jump and finished tied for fourth with a height of 4'2". Gallatin was 1-2 in the Pole Vault, but Worth County was right behind at 3rd and 4th as Sidney Troutwine and Dominique Findley both got vaults of 6 feet.
The girls had their best finish of the year in the Long Jump right when they needed it. They were 1-2 in the event with Kristen Ross winning with a jump of 13'4 1/2" and Payton Adwell finishing right behind with a jump of 13'2". Grace Schottel then came through with a performance way over her head in the 100. She had been coming close all year in that event and she finally won it right when it was needed the most, getting a time of 14.41 and beating out Kelsey Stone of Braymer by .13 of a second. Kristen Ross was 5th with a time of 14.97.
Ross then finished 4th in the 200 with a time of 30.99 and then proceeded to get her second win in her specialty event, the 75 hurdles. That race developed into the closest race in the afternoon between Ross and Tatum Griffin of Gallatin, but Ross got a personal best time of 13.71, around a quarter of a second better than her previous best, to beat out Griffin by .06 of a second and win the event. Aubrey Ragan battled it out with Marissa Smithson of Stanberry and got third with a time of 15.01; Darbi Weddle placed for the first time in the event all year with a time of 15.71, good enough for 6th.

The 4x100 was 6th and then the 4x400 won the final event of the afternoon, beating out Polo by .67 of a second in a close race to claim the title.
