				After getting a taste of postseason success last 
				year in track and field state competition at EIU, the LCHS girls 
				track and field team set a goal to return to Charleston and came 
				up with their own slogan, #backtobluein22. A year later, here 
				the girls are again with more experience, more determination and 
				another fantastic freshman in the mix. 
				
				  
				
				  
				
				Reese McCuan (senior), Becca Heitzig (sophomore), 
				Alyssa Company (sophomore) and Mallory Short (freshman) will 
				represent Lincoln Community High School today in the prelims at 
				State with the finals scheduled for Saturday.  
				
				  
				
				These four girls qualified for State on May 11, 
				2022 at the Dunlap Sectional.  
				
				  
				
				The impressive results from Sectionals are as 
				follows: 
				
				  
				
				Becca Heitzig ~ 800m (1st Place - 2:14.06) 
				
				  
				
				Reese McCuan ~ Triple Jump (1st Place - School 
				Record 11.24m) 
				
				  
				
				Mallory Short, Reese McCuan, Alyssa Company, 
				Becca Heitzig ~ 4x400m Relay (2nd Place - PR 4:03.60) 
				
				  
				
				Mallory Short also earned a 4th place medal in 
				the 400m at Sectionals with a time of 1:01.23.  
				
				  
				
				The approximate schedule for today will feature 
				Reese McCuan in the triple jump after the 8:00 a.m. long jumpers 
				are finished. 
				
				  
				
				At approximately 10:15 a.m. Becca Heitzig will 
				run the 800m.  
				
				  
				
				The 4x400m Relay will run at approximately 11:30 
				a.m.  
				
				  
				
				Again these are the prelims to qualify for the 
				finals on Saturday.  
				
				  
				
				Good luck, ladies!!
