SPRINGFIELD -- The freshmen and sophomore girls
from the LCHS track team traveled to Memorial Stadium in Springfield
on Monday night to take part in the Capital City Classic. They left
with six first-place finishes, two second-place finishes and,
overall, tied for second place in the team standings. The Lady
Railers tied with Glenwood High School with a total of 88 team
points. Springfield High School came away with the team title with
107 points, largely due to the depth of their squad. Sacred
Heart-Griffin ran fourth in the field of eight Central State Eight
conference teams.

Of the 19 contested events, Lincoln ran away with and jumped its way
to six first-place finishes. Lincoln won every relay event except
one, and in that one, the 800 medley, LCHS took second place.
Lincoln's relay dominance began with the 400-meter relay team of
Bunner, Berglin, Martin and Hobler, who edged out Southeast High
School. Lincoln's finishing time was 53.44. The consistently
victorious 800-meter relay team, consisting of Schonauer, Sparks,
Hyde and Bonaparte, won again in a time of 1:49.34, beating the
closest competitor by over four seconds. Not to be outdone, the
Lincoln 1,600-meter relay team won the meet's final event of the
evening with a time of 4:24.32. The 1,600-meter relay is run by
Hyde, Sparks, Martin and Berglin.
Individual first-place finishes came three times to Ashley
Bonaparte. "B" ran her way to firsts in the 100-meter dash (13.03)
and the 200-meter dash (26.5). She also topped the long jump sand
pile with a jump of 15 feet, 1 inch.

The Lady Railers closed out their point totals with a third-place
finish by Martin in the 300-meter hurdles (51.15), fifth-place
finishes by Hyde in the 400-meter dash (1:05.19) and Bunner in the
100-meter dash (13.63), and sixth-place finishes by Kate Schonauer
in the 100-meter hurdles (19.31) and the 200-meter dash (28.60).
The full Lady Railer squad will run a triangular meet at home on
Wednesday afternoon beginning at 4 p.m. and will then travel to the
Glenwood Invitational on Friday.
