Event Results:

Naomi Welling sets new Region V hurdles record

Some championship hurdlers count their steps from the starting block to the first barrier, some between hurdles, and some, well, some just attack.

“My form is really bad,” Welling said, standing on the infield after her record run. “So I just book it between the hurdles.”

Naomi Welling attacked the 300-meter hurdles at Saturday’s Region V Track & Field Championships on the TMHS oval, setting a new Southeast record time of 46.56 seconds, eclipsing the mark set by Juneau-Douglas High School’s Sara Parsons in 1995 (47.20).
