PREP TRACK: Full list of regional advancers from area schools

May 20—The IHSAA postseason continues this week for track and field with Tuesday's regionals for the girls and the boys regionals on Thursday setting the table for athletes to advance to the state finals.

Twenty-seven individuals will make up the state finals field with regional first, second and third-place finishers getting an automatic ticket to the championship in each event. All athletes and relays that meet the 3 Participant Standard will also get an automatic advancement.

Each event at the state finals that does not fill up following automatic advancements will fill the remaining spots with the next best times from the state and get a call back.

Both the boys and girls state finals will be hosted at Indiana University's Robert C. Haugh Track and Field Complex in Bloomington. The girls championship will run Friday, May 31, with the boys running Saturday, June 1.

The most populated event for the girls from our region takes place in the 3,200-meter run. Five individuals competing at Tuesday's regionals will represent our area with Wawasee's Mia Hodgson leading the pack — seeded fourth in the dense field.

The 400-meter dash for the girls may be the most successful for our area athletes. Goshen's Kristian Petkova and NorthWood's Hanna Clyde are the top two seeded times in the event. Other notables on the girls side includes Concord's Lia Davis seeded first in the high jump and Wawasee's Emma Yoder slotted second in the discus.

On the boys side, the 800-meter run is the most populated with five area athletes still in the race between the two sectionals in the area. Both throwing events involve four area athletes with Fairfield's Nick Hofer and Concord's Christopher Adams in both shot put and discus.

Concord's Joseph Moon and Jaron Thomas hold two of the top four spots in the 100-meter dash and NorthWood's Tyler Bowman is the second seed in the shot put.

Westview's Noah Bontrager is the overwhelming favorite in the 1,600-meter run and will also take a spot in the 3,200-meter run as well as join the 4X800-meter relay team. In the 4X100-meter relay at the Goshen Sectional, Concord (third), Wawasee (fourth) and NorthWood (6th) are all in contention to advance. Northridge (second) and Goshen (fourth) have a shot in the 4X800-meter relay.

Below is a full list of area individuals from our eight schools split at two regionals for both the girls and boys. A full list and seed times can be found at the IHSAA's website.
