The District 6-2A Track Meet was the staging ground for several local athletes to qualify for the Regional Track Meet, which was held this week, depending on how much rain would come down at East Beauregard High School. The SHHS girls placed second on the district meet overall. They got two first-place finishes at the event. Samantha Davenport won the 300-meter hurdles and Taylor McCauley took first in the javelin throw. Sacred Heart nabbed two second place spots. Kelsey Enicke was second in the discus throw and Hannah Enicke was second in the 100-meter hurdles.

The 4-by-200-meter relay team of Davenport, Ali Link, Lyndsey Schexnayder and Lauren Poche and the 4-by-400-meter relay team of Poche, Davenport, Schexnayder and Sadie Costanza took third in their respective events.
