Christian Abraham / Hearst Connecticut MediaNEW HAVEN — Following a first-place finish in the 55-meter hurdles, St. Joseph Kayla Clark had to race in the very next event — the 55-meter dash — when the senior competed at Saturday’s Class M girls’ indoor track championships in New Haven.
Clark posted another standout effort, placing fourth in the 55-meter dash.
In winning the 55-meter hurdles, Clark notched a time of 8.43 seconds. Joel Barlow senior Marielle Schweitzer placed second with a time of 8.78 seconds, followed by St. Joseph junior Nia Christie (8.85).
The 55-meter dash winner was Cleondra White of Bacon Academy (7.39 seconds). Kisha Francois of East Haven placed second in 7.46.
“I really wanted to redeem myself in the 55 hurdles, since I didn’t do well at the FCIAC meet,” Clark said. “I was feeling really good out there today and now I am looking forward to the State Open. In the 55 dash, I was a little tired, after running the hurdles, but I’m still happy with my time.”
