Less than a week after sweeping the Region 3-2A track and field meet on home turf, the Charleston High School girls and boys repeated the feat to gain their second championship trophies during the April 16 Super Regional at the Craig Walker Track Field.
The regional meet was held on April 10, also in Charleston.
The Super Regional featured competition among athletes from both Region 3-2A and Region 4-2A.
At the Super Regional, the Charleston ladies racked up 141 team points. Second-place finisher Velma Jackson had 131, third-place J.Z. George 94, fourth-place Northside 74 and fifth-place M.Z. Palmer 65. Rounding out the top 10 teams were East Webster, with 44 points; Leland, 41; Philadelphia, 38; Eupora, 26; and Kemper County, 15.
Charleston’s boys accumulated 137 team points. Second-place finisher M.S. Palmer had 109, third-place Northside 80, fourth-place Velma Jackson 73 and fifth-place J.Z. George 65. Finishing out the top 10 spots were East Webster, with 60 points; Kemper County, 49; Leland, 36; Eupora, 23; and Philadelphia 21.
Both Charleston squads participated in the Class 2A North State championships this week (on Tuesday, April 21) at Pontotoc High School in Pontotoc, but those results were not available by press time.
The Class 2A and 4A state championships will be held on Friday, May 1, beginning at 10 a.m., at the Woody Barnett Track & Field Complex on the campus of Pearl High School in Pearl. The top four finishers in each event at the North State meet automatically qualified to compete at the state championships May 1.
