Alanna Smith is the reigning champ and ran a much better 11.95 time to win her Class LL prelim heat. But in the kickoff to what might well be a three-race showdown, Class S winner Sydney Segalla comes in with a pair of 11.90 times from prelims and finals on a scorchingly hot Tuesday morning.

200m
Sydney Segalla's 23.96 time was not officially a Class record because of a stiff breeze at her back, however it was still run in wretchedly hot conditions. This shapes up as the final battle of the day between Segalla and 2021 champ Alanna Smith. Both are seniors, so it will be their final run at the Open.
1 Sydney Segalla 12 Housatonic Reg 23.96 2 Alanna Smith 12 Danbury 24.65 3 Kaitlyn Fay 11 Greenwich 25.30 4 Sianna Lloyd 11 Bloomfield 25.36 5 Caleah Baker 9 Classical 25.45 6 Anna-Sashia Jones 12 Weaver 25.47 7 Kyrah Smith 10 East Hartford 25.55 8 Avery Rueckert 11 Old Saybrook 25.66 9 Avery Winters 12 Sheehan 25.68 10 Jalena Martin 10 Ellington 25.71 11 Emily Mulhern 12 Joel Barlow 25.82 12 Molly Harding 12 Glastonbury 25.88 13 Victoria Francis 11 Simsbury 25.96 14 Francine Stevens 11 Staples 25.97 15 Kiylah Williams 9 Bloomfield 26.11 16 Mary Jasmine DeVivo 12 E.O.

400m
Alanna Smith won this race as a freshman in 2019 and last year again as a junior (no Open in 2020), so she is going for a threepeat. If Sydney Segalla can put together another sub 53 though, Smith will need to come way up from her PR of 54.94, which was run in a dual meet a month ago.
1 Sydney Segalla 12 Housatonic Reg 52.96 2 Alanna Smith 12 Danbury 55.65 3 Molly Harding 12 Glastonbury 58.13 4 Olivia Walters 10 Brookfield 58.13 5 Francine Stevens 11 Staples 58.34 6 Leah Farrell 9 Cheshire 58.50 7 Avery Winters 12 Sheehan 58.69 8 Camilla Lash 11 Darien 59.13 9 Kyrah Smith 10 East Hartford 59.14 10 Riley Powers 11 Newtown 59.31 11 Kathleen Saussy 12 Weston 59.45 12 Anna Brodeur 12 Old Saybrook 59.55 13 Katie Farr 11 Coginchaug 59.62 14 Gabriella Zeller 11 Lewis Mills 59.66 15 Brittani Westberry 11 Windsor 59.90 16 Kiylah Williams 9 Bloomfield 1:00.06 17 Taylor Ostrosky 11 Shelton 1:00.22 18 Meghan Smith 12 Glastonbury 1:00.25 19 Jenna Wenzel 11 Berlin 1:00.34 20 Sophia Taylor 9 Weston 1:00.68 21 Jessica Dickson 11 Pomperaug 1:01.06 22 Ava Pitruzzelle 11 East Lyme 1:01.26 23 Dara Salka 10 Somers 1:01.35 24 Alexa Williams 10 Stonington 1:01.42 25 Macie Mietz 10 Bethel 1:01.63
100 Hurdles
Top-seeded and 2021 champ Mariella Schwietzer and top-ranked Leonaya Knox face off in one of the great showdown matches at the Open. Knox's PR of 14.68 comes from a win in the SCC West Sectional. Schweitzer won the Class MM battle with Knox on Wednesday, so five days later they are likely back at the finals starting line against each other.
1 Mariella Schweitzer 12 Joel Barlow 14.96 2 Leonaya Knox 10 Hillhouse 15.04 3 Alana Martin 11 Windsor 15.35 4 Rosa Volpintesta 11 Bethel 15.38 5 Allison Murphy 12 Naugatuck 15.46 6 Amanda Castaldi 12 Sheehan 15.53 7 Katherine Baisley 11 Lauralton Hall 15.63 8 Kareema McKenzie 10 Windsor 15.78 9 Grace Stephens 12 Masuk 15.78 10 Johniece Jones 12 Bloomfield 15.78 11 Lily Jason 9 Naugatuck 15.88 12 Caden Simpson 10 Jonathan Law 15.97 13 Rachel Larson 12 Granby Memorial 15.99 14 Allsion Barton 11 St. Paul Cat 16.03 15 Meg Barnouw 11 Fairfield Warde 16.17 16 Shania Howard 9 Holy Cross 16.38 17 Audrey Kpodar 11 Danbury 16.40 18 Squirrel Lanz 10 Cheshire 16.43 19 Lalia Best 10 Career Magnet 16.54 20 Haley Townsend 11 Greenwich 16.61 21 Tylyn Johnson 10 Danbury 16.70 22 Jasmine Ogando 10 Kennedy 16.72 23 Lydia Beers 12 Northwestern 16.74 24 Jordan Murphy 11 East Hampton 16.75 25 Ginny Mullen 10 Lewis Mills 16.76 26 Angela Dulnuan 11 Conard 16.86 27 Abigail Magendantz 11 Hall 17.01
300 Hurdles
Again, the girls hurdles should provide another great matchup in the 300H as top ranked and 2021 champ Mariella Schweitzer takes on top seeded Allison Murphy, who won both hurdles events at Class L, while Schweitzer was the double winner in MM. Both are undefeated in the 300H this year.
