#3 Nemaha Central Girls Capture Third Straight State Track & Field Championship

If there’s one thing that been a fixture at state track & field for the past several years, it’s been that the Nemaha Central girls are going to dominate the Class 3A standings up and down the leaderboard.

It continued this year as the Thunder finished with four gold medalists to capture a third consecutive Class 3A State Title.

Senior Jacy Dalinghaus was the talk of the meet as she ended the weekend with three state championships sweeping the throwing events.

She won the shot put by over two feet, set a personal best in the javelin and also dominated the discus.

Along with Dalinghaus, junior Alleigh Kramer had a stellar weekend as she was the state champion of the 200-meter dash along with finishing second in the 100-meter dash and third in the long jump.

The Thunder also had Hannah Scott take second in the javelin while Hannah Macke finished third giving the Thunder 1-2-3 finishes in the event.

Nemaha Central will have another great shot to repeat in 2020, but one thing is for sure that the Thunder girls are state champions for 2019 earning them the third spot on our countdown.
