Okenie McLaughlin is looking more and more like a state contender.
Chambersburg’s jumping star had a field day at last weekend’s District 3-3A Championships. McLaughlin won a gold medal in the long jump (23-8.25) and a silver (48-0.5). He leads the area by far in both events.
Greencastle-Antrim’s Noah Parks won a district title in the 800 and lowered his area-leading time to 1:53.67 in the process. Parks’ teammate Chase Diller missed out on a district medal in the javelin, but if there’s a consolation, it’s that Diller now owns the area’s top throw with a heave of 163-6.
Maryland’s regional championships were esepcially kind to North Hagerstown’s Philp twins, Caroline and Mackenzie. Caroline surged to the area lead in the 3,200 (10:55.43), while Mackenzie is the area’s top 800 runner with a time of 2:17.90. Another area track star, South Hagerstown’s Chloe Gietka, exploded for a triple jump of 37-6 to exapnd upon her lead atop our leaderboards.
Waynesboro is heating up in the baseball postseason, and the team’s top players continue rise up the ranks on our leaderboards. The Tribe lead the Local.News1 coverage area in three offensive categories: Batting average (.492), triples (5), and home runs (5). Waynesboro pitching ace John Kahl leads locals in wins (9), innings (62), and strikeouts (68).
The softball season is over for Waynesboro, with Emma Bradley ended her season as our clubhouse leader in batting average (.540).
Below is a sport-by-sport, category-by-category look at area stat leaders through May 17:
