WNCAC Championships
At the recent Western North Carolina Athletic Conference (WNCAC) championships, the Brevard Lady Blue Devils recorded their highest finish in program history, taking second place overall and garnering several individual awards. Celia Richmond had all-conference finishes in the 400 meters (2nd place), 100 meters (3rd place), and 200 meters (3rd place)—for the second year in a row. Isabell Musser took 2nd place in the discus and a personal best in the shot put that led to third. Ava Findley won the 3200 meters, and Eliza Witherspoon took second in the 1600. Findlay, Tristan Berry, and Alyssa Lefler placed second in the 4 x 800 relay. Other top finishers included Madison Baldridge and Willow Michael going 2-4 in the 100-meter hurdles, Madeline Dierauf getting 4th and 5th in the 1600 and 3200, Lillie Siniard taking 3rd in the 3200, and the 4 x 100-meter relay team of Breece Bentley, Baldridge, Michael, and Brooklyn Rising taking fourth. West Henderson took the WNCAC crown with a total of 154 points. Brevard was second with 108, followed by North Henderson with 95.5.
On the men’s side, Noah Graham and Andrew Robinson each set personal records in the 4 x 800 meter relay to an exciting come-from-behind victory. Graham won the 1600 meters and 800 meters, and Robinson took 4th in the 1600 before winning the 3200 meters. Sammy Kicklighter took 2nd in the 300-meter hurdles in a personal best time after placing 4th in the 110-meter hurdles. Other top finishers included Will Coye, who took 6th in the 1600 meters and joined Graham, Robinson, and Dylan Sasser in the 4 x 800 relay, and the 4 x 100 relay team of Coye, Kicklighter, Graham, and Kaine McAlister, which also placed sixth. Noah Graham was named co-track MVP. North Henderson won the meet with 150 points. Brevard took sixth with 65.
