The Arthur Lovington Atwood Hammond jr. high girls track teams were hosts to Arcola and Villa Grove on Thursday, April 15. Both the seventh and eighth grade teams came out on top in the team scoring. Both Arcola and Villa Grove were competing with smaller numbers than the previous meet due to jr. high basketball season going on at the same time.

Maleyna Vanausdoll competing in the eighth grade division won two events, the 100 and 200 meters. Individual winners for the eighth grade were Skyler Vorck in the long jump; Lillian Edwards in the 100 meter hurdles; and Sierra Binion in the 800 meters. All three relays were victorious. The 800 meter relay team members were Skyler Vorck, Addi Rohr, Josie Carillo, and Maleyna Vanausdoll. Avery Alexander, Kaylee McDaniel, Reece Oye and Amelia Shonkwiler made up the 400 meter relay. The 1600 meter relay runners were Olivia Binion, Reece Oye, Sierra Binion and Amelia Shonkwiler.

In the seventh grade division, there were three double event winners, Alex Clark won the shot put and discus; Leighton Poulos, the long jump and 400 meters; and Ruby Burton, the 800 and 1600 meters. Cassidy Rohacs won the 100 meter hurdles, and Adyson Cusick took first in the 200 meters. As in the eighth grade, ALAH won the three relay races. The 800 meter relay runners were Gracie Romine, Cassidy Rohacs, Adyson Cusick and Olivia Binion. Running the 400 meter relay were Eme Greathouse, Skie James, Chloe Smith and Brookleyn Peeler.
