Bethlehem Catholic's girls track and field team scored a 88-57 victory over Freedom last week.

"I think we were surprised we beat them by that much because we're struggling this year, but it was nice," said Becahi senior, Megan Tucker.

Individual event winners were Dana Neupauer in the 100 dash with a time of 13.3, Nicole Lacherza in the 200 with a time of 27.7, Tucker in the 400 with a time of 1:02.2, and Maggie Melhem in the 800 with a time of 2:34, all from Becahi.

Freedom distance runner, Shaina Palmer, won the 1600 with a time of 5:25.0 and the 3200 with a time of 11:42.0.

The Hawks and Patriots split on the hurdling events with Jayla Northington winning the 100 with a time of 17.5, and Brie Baughman winning the 300 with a time of 51.2.

Becahi won all relay events, however.

Tucker said, "[In the 4x4 relay], we had the lead by the time I handed off to Hannah. I thought [Freedom's] 4x8 was pretty good in the past, but the sprint relays, I thought we would win."

Tess Zamolyi placed first in the javelin with a distance of 92-0, Posch won the triple jump and the long jump with distances of 30-11 and 15-3, respectively, Jordan Young took first place in the high jump with a height of 4-7, and Katie Roszyk was first in the pole vault with a height of 7-0.
