​Trojans win sectional track championship

​By Al Stilley
Senior staff writer

No. 7 Center Grove’s boys track team won its fourth straight sectional track championship and 13th overall May 19 at Columbus North.
The Trojans won eight events and two relays. Sprinter Grant Mason captured the 100- and 200-meter races and was on the winning 400-meter relay. Center Grove dominated the meet, winning by nearly 90 points over runner-up Franklin.
Franklin Central was second at Whiteland to the host Warriors 127-121.5. The Flashes won six events, including Andrew DeRidder’s triumphs in the 100 and 200 dashes.
Perry Meridian was third at Ben Davis.
Qualifiers from Southside high schools from Columbus North and Whiteland compete in the Franklin Regional, and qualifiers from Ben Davis compete at North Central. Field events start at 5 p.m. Thursday. 
In the girls sectionals, Franklin Central’s Brooke Talhelm set an 800-meter record of 2 minutes, 16.09 seconds, breaking the 2012 record held by FC’s Meredith Jackson. The Flashes finished second to sectional host Warren Central 192-123.5.
The depth of Center Grove’s girls team paid off in the Franklin Sectional, where the Trojans defeated Franklin 142-106. Greenwood was third with 91.5 points.
The Trojans won only two events; Greenwood won four.
At Decatur Central, Perry Merdian and Southport were third and fourth, respectively. The Falcons won four individual titles and qualified all three relay teams for the regional. Southport’s Erin Sullivan won the 800- and 1,600-meter runs.
Girls regionals were held Tuesday with Southside qualifiers competing at Ben Davis and Warren Central.
