Maddie Porter Takes Second in the State
Liberty High School was proudly represented at the CIF State Track & Field Championships this weekend as several Patriot athletes competed against the very best competitors in California. Their performances capped off an outstanding season and showcased the talent, determination, and competitive spirit that define Liberty athletics.
Leading the way was junior Maddie Porter, who earned an incredible 2nd-place finish in the state in the pole vault. Maddie cleared 12'6", tying the eventual state champion's height. The championship was decided only by the number of attempts, with the winner reaching the mark in fewer tries. Maddie’s runner-up finish comes on the heels of a personal-best performance at the Central Section Championships, where she cleared 12'8". As if competing at the highest level in one event was not enough, Maddie also qualified for and competed in the 100-meter hurdles, demonstrating her versatility and athletic excellence.
