Maria Torres (sr) of Northside Prep qualified for the state meet in the triple jump.
For the most part, CPS girls teams did what it had to do to qualify for the state meet.
Public League Champion Whitney Young qualified 6 individuals and 4 relays to the next weekend's state meet. Whitney Young's Reana Rhone ran a 57.30 in the 400 to win the event. Rhone is in a good position and probably Whitney Young's best chance to score at next week's state meet.
Lane Tech qualified 5 individuals. What was surprising to see was sprinter Idia Omiagate qualifying in the 100 meter dash. I was not expecting her to run after seeing her run or basically jog after nursing an injured or sore leg at last week's CPS city championship. I thought her season was over, but she gave it a try in the 100 and not only did she qualify but she won it with a 12.40.
Mather girls have made some great leaps as well. Mather qualified 5 individuals led by Kellion Gordon in the 100 and 200 meter dashes. Their 5 qualifiers is an improvement from the three (2 relays 1 individual) state qualifiers they had last year.
Other surprise qualifiers for the CPS include sophomore Sharone Greenlaw of Hyde Park in the 400 meter dash. Greenlaw ran a PR of 59.4 to beat the automatic state qualifying mark in the 400. This is Greenlaw's second time she has qualified for the state meet after getting in int he 400 last year.
Also, unheralded Shaznite Sullivan of Prosser ran a 25.80 in the 200 to beat the state qualifying mark in the 200 to advance to the state finals. She finished 2nd just ahead of much more haraled Reana Rhone of Whitney Young, the top seed who finished a surprising third and below the automatic state qualifying tiem in the 200.
