Allysia Farrar Going After Sprint Triple
Indoors Allysia Farrar (Cummings) won the 55m Dash and 200m Dash title, as well as two relay, wins helping lead Cummings to a 1A/2A Team Title. Now Farrar is set to attempt the sprint triple after winning all three events at the regional meet. Farrar clocked a 12.18 in the 100m and PRs in the 200m and 400m of 24.61 and 57.74.
Farrar has run 12.04 and will certainly be gunning to break 12 seconds to kick off her state meet. She'll face the strongest competition of the day in the 100m Dash with Alyssa Thompson Rowe (Lexington), Tahalia Fairman (Southwest Onslow) and Chioma Asiegbunam (Lake Norman Charter) all amongst the favorites for the NCHSAA 2A title.
The 400m will be difficult as well with indoor 500m state champion Samantha Payne (Ledford) eyeing the individual title as well. Payne won the 400m title last year in 57.30 and holds a seasons best of 57.81 from the regional meet.
She'll then face off against Thompson Rowe, Fairman, Asiegbunam and Payne in a tight 200m battle where everyone should be slightly gassed from a long meet.
It's certainly not a given that she'll win all three, but we've always seen Cummings girls show up in a big way at the state meet. I'd expect the best out of Farrar this weekend against some loaded sprint fields.
