In the boys' Championship, BLA started strong. Malik Anderson won the 55 Meter Dash with a time of 6.69 seconds. Sekou Stuppard followed that with a win in the 300 Meters. Anderson and Stuppard would later finish 5th and 4th in the High Jump, respectively.
The Dragons were consistently solid in each event, scoring points in all but one. Xavier Hill scored points in both the 55 Meter Hurdles and the Long Jump, with a jump of 19 feet, 2.5 inches. Damian Cruz finished 3rd in the shot-put with a toss of 40 feet, 4.5 inches. These points were vital, and gave BLA a 10 point lead going into the relays.
Latin finished 4th in the 4x200 Relay, but O'Bryant finished out of the points in 8th. That clinched the boys' Championship for the Dragons.
In the girls' Championship, BLA dominated from start to finish. DiAndrea Galloway won the High Jump and finished 2nd in the 55 Meter Dash. Ashley Lewis finished 2nd in the 300 Meters, and 5th in the High Jump. BLA scored 2nd and 3rd place in the 300. Then finished 1-2-3 in the 600 Meters, then 3-4-5 in the 1000. Catherine Van Even won the 1 Mile and the girls' Championship belonged to Latin Academy. As icing on the cake, the Dragons won the 4x400 relay.
Latin Academy finished with 120 points, almost a third of the total available.
This is 3rd straight City Championship for BLA's girls' indoor team.
