The more things change, the more they stay the same. Proving just how strong Warsaw’s girls track program has been and continues to be, the Lady Tigers opened the outdoor season at home Wednesday with convincing wins over Penn and South Bend Washington. Warsaw beat Penn 109-23 and toppled Washington 111-21. The Lady Tigers took first place in 14 of the 16 events, including all three relays, and had at least two girls place in the top four in 12 of the 13 individual events. Individual winners for Warsaw included Samantha Alexander (long jump, 200), Remi Beckham (400), Anna Craig (800), Mia Beckham (1600), Emma Hayward (3200), Alexi Day (high jump), Joelle Messenger (pole vault) and Natalie Nichols (discus). Alexander teamed with Maygan Bellamy, Abbi Curtis and Maykayla Clampitt to win the 4x100. Alexander was part of a fourth victory Wednesday as she teamed with Bellamy, Brooke Rhodes and Morgan Bruner to win the 4x400. Warsaw’s quartet of Hannah Dawson, Dayton Groninger, Kenzie Martz and Rhodes took first in the 4x800. The Lady Tigers will be in action again Saturday in the Hoosier State Relays at Purdue University. Warsaw will be represented in six events at the Hoosier State Relays. Alexander has the best long-jump distance in the state so far this season. The Lady Tigers’ next full team meet will be Tuesday at Homestead.
