Springs Valley Community High School

The Springs Valley track and field team opened its season with a trip to Jasper, taking on a trio of large-school opponents with Evansville North, Evansville Memorial, and the host Wildcats also competing in the quad meet. The Blackhawk boys placed third as a team, beating Evansville Memorial. The girls finished fourth. Springs Valley had a pair of individual event winners, both from the girls' team and both in throwing events. Reigning shot put sectional champion Ella Meehan picked up right where she left off, taking first place with a distance of 32-2. Similarly, reigning PLAC discus champion and school record holder Sarah Drabing won the discus with a toss of 98-5. Drabing also finished third in the shot put. The Blackhawks also got a strong individual performance from Miya Campbell. The junior set a new personal record in the long jump at 14-11.25, finishing third in the process. Kinsey Saliba finished third in the 200-meter dash. Springs Valley's distance runners led the way on the boys' side. Alan Marshall finished second in the mile at 4:40.67, less than a second out of first place. Grant Brown placed third in the two-mile at 10:14.81. That duo also partnered with Carson Brown and Max Pendley to finish second in the 3,200-meter relay, posting a time of 8:47.97. Jaheim Hamilton also had a strong performance at Jasper. The junior ran his way to second place in both the 110-meter and 300-meter hurdles. Larron Childers had a similar performance in the throws, taking second in both the shot put and discus.
