Clintonville High School senior Allysin Booth capped her high school career with a third-place finish in the 100-meter hurdle finals at the 2019 State Track & Field Championships at Veterans Memorial Stadium in La Crosse on Saturday.
Booth posted a time of 15.21 seconds, behind only Adams-Friendship’s Brooke Livingston (14.71) and Lodi’s Mackenzie Heyroth (14.36). Heyroth’s time broke the D2 state record of 14.64.
“My race felt amazing, it was a great way to end my track career. I was really happy and excited,” said Booth.
“It was really awesome to race against the girl who got the state record,” added Booth. “She’s worked so hard and it was amazing to compete with her.”
The finish marked the third straight year Booth finished third in the 100 hurdles.
“It’s amazing. All my years it’s been really fun,” said Booth of competing at state again. “I love the enthusiasm from everybody — all the way around, everybody in the crowd, everybody that ran. Everyone is just so happy and nice to each other. It’s amazing, I love it.”
