Trevonte Citizen’s third-place finish in the 200-meter dash (22.54) pulled defending state champion Lake Charles Prep within a point of E.D. White, 70-69. But the Cardinals scored 16 points in the 3,200 to pull away from the rest of the field.

St. Louis got strong performances in the field from outstanding track athlete Tia Reder (1, triple jump, 37-101/2; 2, long jump, 18-41/2) and Emma Freeman (1, discus, 116-4; 3, javelin, 128-7), plus Ella Segura swept the three distance races (800, 2:20.83; 1,600, 5:23.75; 3,200, 12:17.5) to earn outstanding track honors.

Reder’s mark in the triple jump is the fourth best in the state this season.

Iowa’s Jaya Grandney moved up from 13th in the state long jump rankings to seventh with a personal best of 18 feet, 8 inches.

South Beauregard’s Trinity Spooner upped her state-leading throw in the javelin to 151-8 on her final throw. She is ranked No. 3 in the nation according to Milesplit USA.
