The Lady Scots had 42 points at the meet. Southeast Raleigh, the four-time defending 4-A champions, won the region with 112 1/2 points. A pair of M-SEC schools finished ahead of SHS, and those were Jack Britt (third with 59 points), and Seventy-First (fifth with 50 points).
Royalanda Odom had Scotland's highest individual finish at the regional, throwing the discus a season-best 115 feet, 3 inches to place second. Shantel Smith was third in the triple jump (35-2 1/4), and Ariel Gates placed fourth in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 16.72 seconds.
Scotland's 4x100 relay team (Tashanda Marshall, Ciearra Campbell, Gates, Smith) came in second in the East with a time of 50.03 seconds. The Scots 4x200 team (Marshall, Smith, Campbell and Larcenia Easterling) placed fourth with a time of 1:47.16.
All of these teams and competitors advance to this weekend's 4-A state championships, which will be held at North Carolina A&T University on Saturday.
"The rest of our team competed OK, but I felt we definitely should have done a lot better," said SHS head coach Shelly Barnes. "We were in second for a long time, and then just fell apart."
Campbell was fifth in the region in the 100-meter dash (12.76), and Gates placed fifth in the 300 hurdles (49.35).
