<p>In an effort to get all of the Franklin girls track sectional meet before the storms came through on Tuesday evening, officials kept the events moving at a fairly brisk pace.</p>
<p>Center Grove didn’t seem too bothered.</p>
<p>Kiyah Yeast set sectional records in the 100- and 200-meter dashes and helped the Trojans establish another meet standard in the 4×100 relay, helping her team outpoint runner-up Franklin, 156 to 124.5, to win a fourth consecutive title.</p>
<p>Yeast posted times of 11.96 seconds in the 100 and 25.19 in the 200, winning both events easily. Despite establishing a personal best in the 100, the sophomore said she feels like her best performances are still ahead of her.</p>[sc:text-divider text-divider-title="Story continues below gallery" ]Click here to purchase photos from this gallery
<p>"Seeing that I can go 11.9 today, hopefully as it gets to stiffer competition I can just keep going lower and lower," she said.</p>
<p>Haley Goines, who along with Julia Riley and Ashley Wheat was also on the Trojans’ 4×100 team that finished in 48.57 seconds, set a sectional mark in the 100 hurdles (14.62) while also finishing first in the high jump and second in the long jump.</p>
<p>The only thing that kept Goines from a perfect day was a sectional-record leap in the long jump from Franklin senior Kloie Doublin, who went 18-4 1/2 to eclipse her previous best by almost a foot. The jump was just enough to edge out Goines (18-0) and Riley (17-11) in a heated battle.</p>
<p>"It was just trusting what I’ve been doing and knowing that this is when everything was supposed to come together," Doublin said, "and it did. It’s always nice when that happens."</p>
<p>Center Grove also got a victory from its 4×400 team of Deannah Dillworth, Riko Williams, Yeast and Wheat.</p>
<p>Trojans coach Wes Dodson came away pleased with how his team performed across the board.</p>
<p>“They ran great,” he said. “When you’re setting sectional records and running times like that, then you know you’re in really good shape to advance through the next week.</p>
<p>“Franklin has a really nice team, and I knew that going in, and I just wanted to come out and compete, and I thought we did.”</p>
<p>For the runner-up Grizzly Cubs, senior Emma Treibic was a double winner in the 800 and 1,600. Doublin added a second-place finish in the 100, and freshman Lillian Lacy was second in the 1,600 and 3,200.</p>
<p>Whiteland, which placed fourth as a team with 89.5 points, was led by Reagan Emberton’s first-place finishes in the discus (121 feet) and shot put (41-4 1/2). Teammate Michaela Adams also advanced to the regional in both events.</p>
<p>“I was in a slump there for a little bit,” Emberton said of her winning effort in the shot, “and I was just glad that I got out of it, because it showed me that I’m still up there.”</p>
<p>Fifth-place Greenwood (46 points) got an individual win from Hanna Anderson in the 400 (59.24). Anderson also earned a regional spot in the 100, finishing third, while Emily Bonser moved on in the discus and shot.</p>
