“It’s been decades since Miami Trace boys won a District championship in track,” Miami Trace head coach Brent Noes said. “I believe it was back in the ’90s. It’s been a couple of decades.

“Coming in, we felt we were going to have a real strong showing, if everyone stepped up and did what they were supposed to,” Noes said. “The kids surpassed their expectations. We had all kinds of people with (personal bests). Guys were stepping up; we were doubling up in some events. If you are going to be a District champion, you have to have your best performances by everyone. You have to score points wherever you can.

“We’re really excited for the boys,” Noes said. “We had some District champions and some runners-up.

“The girls’ side, as well,” Noes said. “Our 4 x 1 was District champs. We had a lot of girls today step up, a lot of the younger girls, as well.

“We are fortunate to have such a fantastic coaching staff,” Noes said. “We have top-notch coaches and top-notch kids in all different types of events moving forward. I appreciate the effort that all of the coaches and all of our student-athletes put forth at this District meet.”

“Our kids in the hurdles, it’s super unfortunate that that happened,” Washington head coach Colt Harrington said. “You hate that for both of those kids. There’s nothing you can really do about it. Hurdles bounce that way sometimes and you can’t control that. Caleb, being his last race and Trent, he’s going to have a lot of success next year. It was heartbreaking for both of them.

“We knew the Mosmeier kid (of Logan Elm) was going to go out hard (in the 800),” Harrington said. “I told Brandon that he really needed to be toward the beginning of the next pack behind (Mosmeier). And he was. He played it exactly the way he needed to. He was right there to be able to move on to the next level. He’s worked hard the last four years to be able to make it to where he is. It’s really encouraging to see Brandon move on to the next level.

“Last year at Regionals, Brandon got kind of boxed in,” Harrington said. “He’s more experienced this year. We’ll see what happens. We’re proud of him.

“Sterling Smith was fifth in the shot,” Harrington said. “He was sitting fourth going into the finals and one kid passed him. He’s just a freshman and he has a really bright future ahead of him.”

“The 4 x 4, that is our first relay going to Regionals since 2016,” Washington head coach Louis Reid said. “We’re glad to start that streak again.

“Rayana Burns in the 200 was a District champ and also the 400-meters and the high jump,” Reid said. “She’s going to Regionals in four events.

“Maddy Garrison was runner-up in the 800 and she is District champ in the mile (1600),” Reid said. “Cloe Copas qualified fourth in the mile with a personal best time.

“Jaelyn Mason was fourth in the pole vault, going to Regionals for the second year in a row,” Reid said. “It was a real good day for Lady Lion track. These seniors have been first or second all four years at the District.”
