Greenfield-Central’s Savannah Lake, Eastern Hancock’s Ellie Meyer and Mt. Vernon’s Riley Nielsen qualified for the IHSAA Girls Track and Field State Finals, to be held at Indiana University Saturday June 3.
Lake competed Tuesday at the Franklin Regional and placed second in both the 100-meter dash and 200-meter dash.
She finished the 100 in 12.05 seconds and the 200 in 25.47 seconds.
The top three in each event advance to the state meet, though others that finished outside the first three spots could receive call backs.
Those best opportunities come to fourth-place finishers.
