TROY —The Troy girls track and field team turned in another strong performance Friday night, winning the Herb Hartman.
Troy had a comfortable lead most of the night.
With an 11-point lead over Tipp going to the 1,600 relay, Troy scratched from the race and Tipp won, leaving Troy with 102 points and Tipp second with 101.
Leah Harnish had another big night fro the Trojans.
She ran away with the 400-meter dash, winning in 57.49.
“I didn’t meet my expectations in the 400,” Harnish said about wanting a faster time. “But, I will take it.”

Harnish’s time in the 100 was 12.48 and her time in the 200 was 25.73.
“I love running against her (Mariah Day),” Harnish said. “I wasn’t happy with my race in the 100. My goal was to get in the 25s in the 200, so I was happy with that. I love this meet. You see some great competition.”
Troy also got a win from Kiyah Baker in the shot put, with a distance of 35-4.
“I was up against great competition and I had a PR, so I have to be happy with that,” Baker said. “I do (look forward to the Hartman). You see a lot of different schools you don’t normally compete against and it is great competition.”

Lehman Catholic’s Katie McFarland continued her success in the pole vault.
McFarland is coming off a second-place finish in the event at the state indoor meet and won Friday night with a height of 11-6.
“It wasn’t my best,” she said. “It is a long season and I have time to get better. I had a really good indoor season. The conditions tonight were ideal. The wind was at our back. I didn’t vault as well as I hoped. I have another meet tomorrow (Anna Invitational). Hopefully, I can do better at that meet.”
