Lexington Catholic Girls Capture Team Championship

Lexington Catholic put together one of the most complete team performances of the meet, scoring 106 points to secure the Class 2A girls title.

A major factor in the Knights' victory was Joanna Bryant, who delivered a stellar double on the track. Bryant won the 400m (57.91) and returned to claim the 200m title (25.99) while also contributing to Lexington Catholic's victorious 4x400 relay (4:07.49) and 4x200 relay (1:48.93) squads.

In the distance events, Abigail Turner added valuable points with a win in the 1600m (5:03.54) and a third-place finish in the 800m (2:22.30).

Calloway County pushed the team race throughout the meet behind a huge all-around performance from Layla Green. Green won the 55m hurdles (8.67), long jump (17-0.25), and high jump (5-6.5) to lead one of the top individual performances from all the KHSAA Indoor Championships.  Her high jump mark set a new KHSAA Indoor State Record.

Another standout moment came in the 3200m, where Isabella Day (Larue County) delivered a dominant run of 10:47.98 to claim the state title.

Bourbon County also had a strong day highlighted by Marleigh Estes, who won the 800m (2:17.96) and added points in the hurdles and high jump.
