Track and Field: Individual Champs for Long Reach, Team Title Bid Falls Short

The Lightning girls finished in third place in the Class 2A championship

The Long Reach girls came up short in their bid for the Class 2A track and field title Saturday at Morgan State.

They led with 72 points after 17 events. All that was left to score was the shot put. But Liberty took second place, earning enough points to grab the championship, and North Hagerstown got first place in the shot put, launching them into the runner-up slot.

Aneesha Scott led Long Reach with first place finishes in the 100, 200 and 400 meter dashes. She also ran a leg on the winning 4X100 relay team with Uzochi Okoronkwo, Kristen Fawole and Jacqueline Tape.
