WARSAW – The Warsaw girls track program continued its stranglehold on the Northern Lakes Conference Tuesday night.

The Tigers overcame tough conditions and a pair of league foes to remain undefeated on the season.

Warsaw stormed to wins over Plymouth 82.5-49.5 and Elkhart Memorial 87-45 in NLC action at the Tigers Athletic Complex.

The Tigers, coming off a championship performance Saturday in the Turtle Town Invitational at Churubusco, have now won 36 NLC meets in a row dating back to the 2009 season.

Samantha Alexander continued to be one of many standouts for Warsaw. Alexander won the 200 meter dash in a top time of 28.07 and won the long jump yet again with a top effort of 16-1 3/4.

Alexander also ran a leg on one of the two first-place relay teams. She teamed with Ann Harvuot, Mariah Harter and Audrey Rich to win the 4 X 100 with a time of 50.68.

The Tigers, who improve to 8-0 overall and 6-0 in the NLC, also got wins on the track Tuesday night from Harvuot in the 100 (13.08), Jackie Ferguson in the 100 hurdles (17.13) and Nicole Eckert in the 300 hurdles (49.50).

The foursome of Claire Kehler, Brooke Rhodes, Allison Miller and Hannah Dawson won the 4 X 400 relay in a time of 9:54.80 for the hosts.

Warsaw also got another pair of winning efforts in the field events from standouts Claire Hickerson and Brooklyn Harrison. Hickerson won the pole vault by clearing 10-0 and Harrison took first in the shot put with a throw of 34-1.

Anna Craig placed second in the 1,600 Tuesday night.

The Tigers showcased their depth again Tuesday. Second place finishes went to Harter in the 100, Anna Craig in the 1,600, Ferguson in the 300 hurdles and Emily Bailey in the shot put. The team of Miller, Craig, Rhodes and Dawson also took second in the 4 X 400 relay event.

Warsaw also got third place finishes from Alexander in the 100, Rhodes in the 400, Dawson in the 800, Harvuot in the 200, Shannon Winslow in the pole vault and Megan Chauncey in the discus.

The Tigers will compete Saturday in the Kokomo Relays, where they are the defending champions.

Coach Scott Erba’s team will then celebrate Senior Night by hosting Goshen next Tuesday in the final NLC dual meet of the season. Warsaw will host the NLC Track Championships, for both the girls and the boys, on May. 13.

Emily Bailey was second in the shot put to help her Warsaw team to two more wins Tuesday night.
