MAPLEWOOD RUNS THE SHOW AT NAC CHAMPIONSHIPS
ORWELL OH- Maplewood’s girls track squad left no doubt who runs the NAC this year, storming to the team title with 147 points and flexing across just about every event.
The Rockets were loaded with individual firepower and backed it up with some gutsy relay work. Morgan Himes brought the heat in the hurdles, sweeping the 200 and 300. Torri Shipman blazed the 400, Reagan Mahan locked down the 800, and Mackenzie Edgar pulled off a distance double in the 1600 and 3200. Harley Agardi kept the momentum rolling in the 100 hurdles.
And when it came to the relays, Maplewood made it look easy. The 4×400 squad of Mahan, Shipman, Edgar, and Himes ran it clean to the title. The 4×800 crew—Edgar, Ava Liptak, Anna Cook, and Mahan—handled business to grab more big points.
Maplewood wasn’t just a one-trick pony either. The sprints and field events chipped in, with Olivia Morris, Anna Cook, Elyse Pinkerton, and Emily McDowell holding it down in the 4×100, while Morris, Cook, Ava Calvert, and Molly Blose kept the 4×200 rolling. In the ring, Wriley Boyd and Joanne Postlethwaite brought the power in shot and disc to stack even more points.
Grand Valley (100), Badger (88), Lordstown (79), and PV (67) rounded out the top five, but this one belonged to Maplewood from the jump. They showed up deep, fast, and ready to run through the NAC.
