Wednesday evening the Celina Men and Women Regional qualifiers went their separate ways as the Ladies headed to Amherst and the Guys went to Pickerington.
The Ladies had qualifiying runs in the 300LH and 4 x 400 relay, as well as the high jump final. The 4 x 400 relay of Lexi Mills, Kelsey Waterman, Cayla Hellwarth, and Hannah Fleck ran a season best 4:01.77 in qualifying 6th to Friday finals. The top 4 relays from the finals earn a trip to next weekend's 'State' Championship Meet. Lexi ran 47.19 in her 300LH prelim, but failed to advance. Lizz Carr failed to make opening height in the high jump. Lexi Mills did not run in her 100IH prelim.
