Alyssa Stacy, Layla Janisch qualify for state in two events: Wednesday’s Daily Chronicle sports roundup

Girls track

Class 2A Sterling Sectional: At Roscoe Eades Stadium, Sycamore tied Freeport for second with 74 points. Sterling won with 97.5.

Sycamore’s Alyssa Stacy had a PR of 12.50 to take third and qualify for state. She also PR’d and took second in the 200 (25.42).

“I’ve put in a lot of work after practice, on weekends and in the offseason,” she said. “It’s really nice to be able to see the progress that I’ve made.”

Stacy, committed to run at U-W Whitewater, said the meet went better than she thought it would.

“I thought I’d kind of be on the cusp for both of them, so I was a little nervous that I wouldn’t make either race to make it to state, but it went really well. But it went really well. A lot of support from my teammates, which is super helpful.”

Layla Jansich was third in the 800 (2:23.49) and the 1,600 (5:44.58) to hit qualifying marks in both.

Kennah Butler took third in the shot put (10.79 meters) to hit a qualifying mark. Krista Cobb won the discus (37.45) to qualify.

Class 3A Huntley Sectional: At Red Raider Stadium, DeKalb took fourth with 56 points.

Angela Gary was fourth in the discus with a toss of 35.26, just past the qualifying mark of 35.2. Sydney Myles hit 1.57 in the high jump to hit the mark and return to state. Northern Michigan recruit Alyssa Tumminaro cleared 3.5 in the pole vault to qualify for state.

“It feels great to qualify for state again,” said Tumminaro. “I want to make it to the finals and make it to the podium.”
