Quick Sectional Hits - Delays & Kole Mathison Sets the Pace


Last night saw weather play a huge factor as the IHSAA Sectional kicked off. Six of the 32 Sectionals were postponed last night and will be completed today. Those that got through were rewarded with tremendous weather for their patience. (Today, not so much it appears!)

Bedford North Lawrence, Madison, Floyd Central, Columbus North, Terre Haute South, and East Central sites all will finish up today.

A quick shot last night of early results showed great promise for the state championships.

Carmel's Kole Mathison ran an incredible distance double, especially for the Sectional round. Mathison opened the night with a 4:06.50 solo 1600m. He followed that up later in the evening with another solo effort- this time a 9:04.30 3200m to secure the double victory.

Westfield's Kai Connor ran a 1:53.75 , just edging Hamilton Southeastern's Nolan Satterfield by just under a half of a second.

Brownsburg's John Colquitt took home three firsts at the Plainfield Sectional. Colquitt won the 110m hurdles, the 300m hurdles, and the long jump. Oh, he also ran on the third place 4x100m relay team!

We will add to our coverage as the day continues and more results are posted.
