BYESVILLE - It's a "two-for-one" deal for Mandi Boykin.

The Ironton Lady Fighting Tigers freshman sprinter is headed for her first state meet and she has qualified in two events.

Also qualifying in her first effort was South Point freshman Sarah Lee who was fourth in the lone jump. Lee leaped 17-0.5 in the finals.

Boykin won the 200 meter dash in Friday's Division II regional track and field

meet. Boykin ran a 25.93 in the finals

to finish ahead of Ashley Grimm of Wintersville who ran a 26.18 time.

Besides the 200 meters, Boykin ran a 12.84 to place third in the 100 meter dash. The top four finishers qualify for the state meet to be held Friday and Saturday at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium on the campus of Ohio State University.

"I think she was a little dissatisfied after the 100. She felt she should have had a better time," Ironton Lady Tigers coach Tim Thomas said. "She felt she should have been a winner and she came back and smoked them."

Paula Ferry of Lisbon Beaver won the 100 meters at 12.73 with Emily Lacey of Fairfield Union second at 12.76. Nikki McKinniss of Gallipolis ran a 13.17 and was fourth.

The same quartet ran in the 4×200 and placed seventh.

Chesapeake's Scott Davidson qualified for the state meet on Wednesday by clearing 12-6 to place third in the pole vault.
