As the school year winds down so does the track and field season, but both Westerville Central teams have time remaining before the clock strikes 12.
The Central girls (62) finished fifth at the Division I, District 1 meet at Dublin Coffman that culminated with finals heats Saturday, May 22.
Gahanna (132) also won the girls draw.
Coach Ryan Borland would've liked to have seen a little higher finish.
"We were disappointed with how we did as a team," he said, "but we did have some bright spots that we were excited about going into (the regional meet) this week."
Dominique Hoskins won the 400 (59.01) and the 200 (26.0).
Amara Whaley out-jumped everyone in the pole vault (11-6).
Taylor Reneau finished fourth in the 100 (13.14) and Kristen Norris came in second in the long jump (16-4.25).
"I was really pleased with Kristen Norris and Taylor Reneau," Borland said. "Both were on the bubble as far as qualifying, but really put together good performances to move on to the regional meet."
Central's boys came in fourth place at the Division I, District 1 meet at Coffman.
The event was won by Gahanna, which tallied 120 points -- the Warhawks scored 59 points.
Trey Devereaux won the discus (152-05) and the shot put (47-10.5).
The 800-meter relay finished second (1:29.80).
Dan Steigerwald came in fourth in the 1,600 (4:31.99).
Channing Doermann came in fourth in the 200 (22.74).
Brandon Shirey came in fourth in the 3,200 (9:47.97).
All of the aforementioned athletes or events in the boys and girls competition are to compete at the regional meet at Pickerington North Wednesday and Friday, May 26 and 28.
"At this point we just want to have fun," Borland said, "and qualify as many to the state meet as we can."
