Athens High senior

Landon Bennett won a

Michigan High School

Athletic Association

state track & field

championship in the

300-meter hurdles and

AHS junior Aleyah

Deller was No. 1 in the

adaptive finals of the

100- and 200-meter

dashes last Saturday as Athens competed in

the MHSAA Division 4 Championships at

Baldwin Middle School.

Bennett’s and Deller’s first-place fin-

ishes were the only state championship

ones turned in by local student-athletes at

last Saturday’s four MHSAA divisional

finals – with Division 1 taking place at

East Kentwood, Division 2 taking place at

Hamilton and Division 3 taking place

at Kent City.

However, several other local student-ath-

letes did produce top-eight event finishes,

which earned them All-State medals and

time spent on the medal podiums.

Following is a rundown of all local all-

state performances at championship meets.
