Track and field: G-C's Dickerson, Sosnowski to state

Greenfield-Central athletes Matt Dickerson and Chris Sosnowski are moving on to the IHSAA track and field State Finals after their performances in Thursday's Connersville regional.

Dickerson will be moving on in both hurdles races, while Sosnowski was the regional champion in the discus.

Dickerson, a junior, finished second in the 110 high hurdles with a time of 15.20, three-tenths behind champion Adarius Washington of Warren Central (14.88). In the 300 hurdles, Dickerson was third by an eyelash, coming across in a virtual tie with runner-up Center Grove's Conner Stapleton, whose time of 39.586 was three-thousandths faster than Dickerson's time.

In the discus, Sonsowksi's second throw cleared 152-8, and that put him ahead of Greenwood's Brandon Rice, who threw 152-0 on his first throw. Those would hold up, as Sosnowski beat Rice by eight inches.
