WINSTON-SALEM – Chase Farlow of Randleman notched a second individual state championship, this time in indoor track and field.
Farlow, a senior, won the high jump in Friday’s Class 1A/2A state meet Friday at JDL Fast Track.
Farlow cleared 6 feet, 10 inches to match the Class 1A/2A state meet record set by Tanner Anderson of East Burke in 2010.
Farlow won the competition by a sizable margin, with Greene Central’s Deitrich Williams second at 6-4.
This follows last May’s outdoor state championship in the high jump. Farlow, a North Carolina State commit for track and field, is also a key member of Randleman’s Piedmont Athletic Conference championship boys’ basketball team.
Pole vaulter Jay Richards of Randleman finished fourth at 12-6.
Also, Tristan Chriscoe of Randleman had a solid effort in the 55-meter hurdles. He posted the eighth-best time of 8.12 seconds in the preliminaries, but he didn’t complete the finals race.
In the girls’ competition, Randleman high jumper Grace Beane placed third at 5-4 behind Burlington Cummings’ D’Anna Cotton and Wilson Prep’s Rachel Key. That duo both cleared 5-6 to match a Class 1A/2A meet record.
Eastern Randolph’s Mirianna Corea claimed third in the shot put with a toss of 37-4.
