Hackberry achieves high five: Girls win Class C state track title

Hackberry has one for the thumb.

The Mustangs won their fifth consecutive Class C state championship in girls track and field Thursday, outscoring runner-up Saline 151-82.

Leading the way for the Mustangs was four-event winner Reagan Darbonne. She improved her class record while wining the pole vault with a jump of 11 feet, 3 inches, breaking the old mark of 9-614. She also won the 100-meter low hurdles with a time of 17.03 seconds, the 100 with a time of 13.0 and the 200 with a time of 27.39. She was named Outstanding Athlete for the meet.

“She was outstanding all day,” said Hackberry head coach Angie Little. “She came in second (No. 2 seed) in the 200 and managed to win that. We took her off a relay and put her in the 200 this year and she did a great job.”

The jumping duo of Karlie Stine and Austyn Quintela went 1-2 in the high jump. Stine won by clearing 4-10, while Quintela cleared 4-8. Stine added a win in the 800 (2:47.23) with seventh-grader Blaine Picou finishing second (2:54.79).

“It is awesome to have that kind of quality and depth,” Little said. “Anytime you can walk away from an event with 18 points, that is great, and to turn around and be able to do it again is amazing.”

The Mustangs also won the 4x200 relay.

Johnson Bayou finished fourth with 46 points and Reeves was fifth with 37.

Jehovah-Jireh won the boys team title with 165 points. Reeves finished third with 44.5.

Reeves’ Markeith Simmons won the shot put with a throw of 41-11, Keaton Jinks of Hackberry won the javelin (146-1) and teammate Bryce Welch won the discus with a throw of 123-10.

In the girls meet, Reeves’ Jordyn Gill won the 1,600 (6:36.24). Starks’ Grace Gillis won the 3,200 (14:56.32).

Episcopal School of Acadiana won the girls Class B title with Quitman winning the boys title.

Other area Class B winners included Lacassine’s Halie Olmstead, who won the 100 hurdles for the third straight year. Olmstead won in 15.78 seconds and owns the class record of 15.7, set in 2015.

Hathaway’s Trenton Guidry won the long jump (21-0) and the 100 hurdles (15.14) while Bell City’s Will Zaunbrecher won the pole vault (12-0).
