May 10—NORTH VERNON — Floyd Central reclaimed the Hoosier Hills Conference title Tuesday night at Jennings County.

The Highlanders, who finished second to rival New Albany by four points in last year's meet, won half of the 16 events en route to 152 points and their ninth league championship in 11 years.

The defending champion Bulldogs were second with 111.5. Columbus East (76), Seymour (72) and Jeffersonville (61) rounded out the top-five in the seven-team event.

Distance standouts Savanna Liddle and Kaitlyn Stewart helped lead the way for Floyd. Both won one individual event and were also members of a pair of victorious relay teams.

Liddle, a senior, won the 800-meter run (2 minutes, 30.74 seconds) and was second in the 400 while Stewart, a junior, triumphed in the 1,600 (5:14.63). The two teamed up with Ginger Atzinger and Hallie Mosier to get the meet off to a fast start for the Highlanders by winning the 3,200 relay (10:02.77). They also helped close it out by combining with senior Emily Cook and freshman Lyla Conway to finish first in the 1,600 relay (4:13.78).

Mosier also was victorious in the 3,200 (12:02.09).

In the field events, junior Elle Schweitzer led the way for Floyd Central by winning the shot put (36-feet, 3 1/2-inches) and the discus (115-2). Additionally, sophomore Mia Jones captured the pole vault (8-6).

The runner-up Bulldogs were led by Journey Howard. The senior standout won three events — the 100 hurdles (15.16), the 300 hurdles (47.92) and the high jump (5-2) — and was also a member of New Albany's second-place 1,600 relay team.

Freshman Ayanna Starks followed Howard's lead. She won the 100 (12.90) and the long jump (16-0 3/4) while also teaming with Cayla Frierson, Beautiful Childs and LaNijha Rodgers to capture the 400 relay (50.84).

Additionally, Frierson finished first in the 400 (1:01.13) while freshman Alexis Brown triumphed in the 200 (26.82).

The fifth-place Red Devils were led by sophomore Mariah Smith and senior Arielle Phillips.
