The girls of Lansing Track and Field captured the Section IV Class C Championship Thursday night, adding to their IAC Large School title and second consecutive undefeated dual meet season record. Last year, the team finished fourth among Section IV schools; this year, the Ladycats were dominant, finishing 71 points ahead of runner-up Newark Valley.
As has been the case all season, the Lansing girls demonstrated their strength in both on the track and in the field. A sweep of first, second, and third place in the 400H (senior Emma Dhimitri, freshman Catalina Zaloj, and sophomore Destiny Little) as well as in the pole vault (senior Emily Gallagher, juniors Miya Kuramoto and Meghan Matheny) in addition to the one-two finish in the 800M by freshman Catie Eisenhut and junior Mikaela Garcia contributed 62 points to the Lansing score. Dhimitri also placed second in the 100H and triple jump, missing the school record by just a half inch in a new personal best. Zaloj secured entry into state qualifiers in all of her individual events, ending as the runner-up in high jump and racing to fifth place and new personal best in the 100H.
