The Herald-News sports roundup for Friday, March 24, 2023

Seneca’s Teagan Johnson will certainly sleep well tonight.

After her performance at the Class 1A Illinois Prep Top Times, she likely will do so with a smile.

Johnson became an indoor state champion with her win in the pole vault and also teamed up with Keeli Pumphrey, Lila Coleman and Caitlyn O’Boyle to finish eighth in the 800 relay. O’Boyle also placed sixth in the 60-meter hurdles.

Anna Bruno earned a pair of medals by finishing third in the 400 meters and second in the long jump. Lilly Woolery, Tessa Bowers, Anna Tynan and Caroline White placed seventh in the 3,200 relay, and Evelyn O’Connor took fifth in the 800. The Irish capped the night with a state title in the 1,600 relay from Bruno, Coleman, O’Connor and Clara Bruno.
