CIAC Open Championship Recap: Event-by-Event Blowout

Girls 55m Hurdles


Meet Record: 8.04, Tess Stapleton in 2020, formerly 8.11  State Record: 7.96 

Tess Stapleton stayed north of 8.00 at the Open with an 8.04 after smashing the former state record in a 7.96 time at the LL meet for Ludlowe last week. The mark was still by far enough to lower the meet record she set last year by another .07, and she will leave it to her senior version to push the MR into the 7.xx region. The rest of the field ran fairly close to form in the finals, as Kayla Clark came up for 2nd and Shelby Dejana edged out Mariella Schweitzer for the 3rd spot. Nia Christie got 5th to go with a 3rd in the high jump, and Erin Daugherty was 6th.
