Two Fairfield seniors have extended their track and field careers to one final high school race as they both became 2019 state qualifiers on Friday night, as both runners placed in the Top 3 in the 800-meter run in the Division III Regionals at Fairfield Union High School.

Down to not just their final out, but their final strike, the Fairfield Lady Lions were that close to having their season come to a close in the Division III Regional Semifinals against Ironton. The problem for their opponent was the Lady Lions weren’t ready to bow out of the postseason just yet.

Overcoming a rough first inning, the No. 2 seeded Fairfield Lady Lions not only battled back to tie the score in the Division III SE District championship game following an early deficit, but they continued their streak of consecutive district championships to five by defeating the No. 1 seeded Wheelersburg Lady Pirates, 8-5 on Saturday.

The Fairfield Lions won six Division III SE District event championships, leading to them being the team runners-up in the district meet for the two-day event, which concluded Saturday at Southeastern High School.
