Continuing to shine this season, Boulder City High School girls track and field dominated the field at Spring Valley on April 18.

“I’m really proud of the girls right now,” head coach Mark Misuraca said. “This is another weekday event that we dominated. Everyone is working hard and contributing.”

Running away with the lead convincingly, the girls tallied an overall score of 198 points, followed by Spring Valley (75) and Democracy Prep (60).

Stars for the girls, sophomore Sancha Jenas-Keogh finished first in both the 100-meter dash and 200-meter dash, while freshman Hannah Stark took first in the 300-meter hurdles and second in the 100-meter hurdles.

“We have a lot of girls contributing in all events,” Misuraca said. “Even our underclassman are stepping up and contributing. Everyone is gaining great experience.”

In the relay events, the 4x200 team of Jenas-Keogh, senior Kalie Hedrick, sophomore Hazel Hardy and freshman Shasta Ryan-Willett placed first, along with the 4x800 team of Williams, senior Kalie Hedrick and sophomores Ruby de Jong and Bryelle Young.
