The track season has ended for athletes in Lexington County following the conclusion of the South Carolina high School League track and field championships. 

Over the course of three days, athletes from all over South Carolina traveled to Spring Valley or Richland Northeast High School for the state championships. The best-of-the-best came together to compete head to head for gold in various track and field events. 

Each classification had its own meet. Two meets were held each day with one at each host site. 

In all, 43 Lexington County athletes left with a gold, silver or bronze medal. Many others finished in the top-eight to earn a spot on the expanded podium. 

Nine different athletes won a gold medal, and one program scored enough points to win the overall team championship. 

Gray Collegiate’s girls team won its second-consecutive state title, and first in 4A, after scoring 61 points. The War Eagles finished three points ahead of Daniel to win the championship. 

The War Eagle girls were propelled to first place thanks in part to an excellent showing from Tamara Steward. She finished the day with four medals, two gold, one silver and one bronze. 

Steward was on the track and in the field, finishing first in the girls 100m hurdles and long jump. She got a silver medal in the girls 400m hurdles and a bronze in the 4x100m relay. 

Taylor Jones, Aliyah Edwards and Zaria Gaines won a bronze medal as Steward’s relay teammates. 

Steward was not the only athlete to win multiple medals at the games. Her teammate Tresta Miller won two silvers in the 100-meter and 400-meter races. 

Gray’s Damarcus Gaither won three medals in the boys events, claiming first in the 200-meter run and 4x100-meter relay and second in the 400. 

Brookland-Cayce’s Aden Price won three medals, finishing first in the 400-meter race, third in the 100-meter and third in the 4x400-meter relay.  

In the 2A meet, a pair of Batesburg-Leesville athletes double-medaled in field events. Keira Frye won gold in the girls discus and shot put, while Ja'Quan Corleyearned bronze and silver in the same boys events. 

The state title meets mark the end of the high school track season in South Carolina. Some of the state’s top athletes will get the chance to keep running at national events early this summer.
