Century girls, Manchester Valley boys win 2023 Carroll County indoor track and field championships

HAGERSTOWN — The Century girls and Manchester Valley boys indoor track and field teams ended Saturday’s Carroll County championships in familiar territory: atop the podium.

For Century, which held off Westminster 134-127, the win marks the program’s fourth straight county championship. Coach Alexis Daniel had a feeling coming in that based on the way her team prepared, some of her girls’ best times had yet to come. Sure enough, several Knights set personal records.

“I’m really impressed with all the PR’s that we had today,” Daniel said. “Everybody just came out and did their best and executed everything we talked about in practice.”

One of Century’s best runners was Isabella Mastria, who won the 55-meter dash and the 300 dash and was a member of the winning 4x400 relay team. Mastria came into Saturday knowing she was going to face a heavy workload, but she got better and better as the event went on and helped lead her team to victory.

“It definitely feels great,” she said. “I’m just really happy that I could execute because it was a little stressful waking up this morning like, ‘Oh my God, I have so much to do.’”

On the boys’ side, it was yet another successful county championships for Manchester Valley, as the Mavericks edged Westminster, 103.5-101.5, to win back-to-back titles. They were able to seal another title in large part because of their thrilling win in the 4x400 relay.

Quinn Favorite was the star for Manchester Valley, performing well in the relay and following that up with a win in the 500. For Favorite, the sky is the limit for him and his teammates now that they have seen the fruits of their labor.

“We’ve got a great group of runners,” he said. “We were able to push each other all season and practice hard everyday.”
