Ryle had the best athlete and Notre Dame had the best team in the Class 3A girls regional track and field meet on Thursday at Dixie Heights High School.

Notre Dame finished on top in the team standings with 133 points, followed by Ryle with 109.5. Nearly half of Ryle’s points were scored by senior Juliet McGregor, who won the 100, 200 and 400 dashes and the long jump.

Earlier this week, McGregor signed a letter of intent with the University of Cincinnati women’s track team. She was also a starting guard on Ryle’s state champion girls basketball team last season.

Notre Dame girls won six events and placed second in four others to take the Class 3A girls regional team title for the first time since 2013. Ryle was regional champ the last three years and four of the last five.

Michaela Summe was the top performer for Notre Dame. The sophomore won gold medals in the 300 hurdles, 4×100 relay and 4×400 relay. The Pandas scored 40 points in field events with junior Brianna Seibert winning the discus and senior Hanna Miller winning the triple jump and pole vault.

Covington Catholic won the Class 3A boys regional team title for the third consecutive year by a 129-101 margin over Ryle.

The Colonels scored most of their points in distance races and field events. The team’s individual champions were senior Casey Wolnitzek in  the 800 and 1600 runs, junior Neil Green in the triple jump and senior Sam Adams in the high jump.

The schedule for next week’s state championship meet in Lexington has Class 1A on Thursday, Class 2A on Friday and Class 3A on Saturday. Events will begin at 10 a.m. each day.
