More from state indoor track
There wasn’t a whole lot of space during the two days of the state indoor track meet, so with 104 events and only 19 paragraphs, we weren’t able to get all of local winners at the Prince George’s Sports and Learning Complex.
So here’s a list, by class, of those who won state titles but weren’t named in the articles:
Class 1A
Davon Tildon (Carver-Baltimore City), 55-meter dash
Connor Pencek (Glenelg), 800 and 1,600 meters
Scott Menner (Glenelg), 1,600 meters
Geoffrey Boggs (Pikesville), pole vault
Rachel Sykes (South Carroll), 1,600 and 3,200 meters
Sasha Smallwood (Pikesville), pole vault (1A record)
Relays: Digital Harbor girls, 800 and 1,600 meters
Class 2A
Nate Gant (Hammond), 55-meter dash
Chris Frock (Winters Mill), 800 meters
Craig Morgan (River Hill), 1,600 and 3,200 meters
Janiera Jackson (Poly), 55-meter dash
Tonney Smith (Poly), 500 meters
Relays: Loch Raven girls, 3,200 meters; Randallstown boys, 1,600 meters; Winters Mill boys 3,200 meters (2A record)
Class 3A
Cameron McDearmon (Franklin), shot put
Rachel Pillion (Towson), 3,200 meters
Kemilah Browne (Reservoir), 55-meter hurdles
Ryan Chelton (Hereford), 800 meters
Deontray Lee (Broadneck), 55-meter dash
Relays: Broadneck boys, 3,200 meters
Class 4A
Amber Melville (North Carroll), high jump
Also, a few notes:
Best uniform: Reservoir. Loved the mostly orange with black squares that were like patches. It's tasteful without being gaudy.
Best effort: Katie Harman, River Hill. The flu is never fun, but she battled through it to win one race and take third in another. Not an easy task.
Best technique: Amber Melville, North Carroll: The high jumper looked like she invented the Fosbury Flop while winning the Class 4A state title.
Most unusual stat: Pikesville winning both the boys and girls pole vaults. Geoffrey Boggs spoke to me a few weeks ago and said he wanted to get to 12 feet and win the state title. He got both. Sasha Smallwood set a Class 1A record for the girls (11-1) and will become one of the state's best by the time she's done in two years.
