200m Gold
The 17-year-old Hodge then defended her 2023 New Balance Indoor Championship run in the 200m by placing 1st with a speedy 22.96 seconds. Hodge was the only finalist, of 2 Heats, to dip under the 23-second barrier.
Placing 2nd was Dasia Reed, also of Montverde Academy, with a time of 23.67 seconds and 3rd was Sade Gray of Run Fast Track Club with a time of 23.82 seconds.
4X400M Relay Gold
The crowning glory came as Hodge anchored the Montverde Academy's 4x400m team, running the lead-off leg that propelled them to a gold-medal triumph and a new championship record of 3:38.18. Hodge's split time of 55.84 set the tone for a stellar performance, showcasing her versatility and strength.
According to Sports Max, the team's talented athletes, including Michelle Smith from the US Virgin Islands, contributed significantly to the record-setting feat. Smith clocked 52.81 in the second leg, followed by Alivia Williams with 54.13 in the third leg, and Dasia Reed anchoring with 55.42.
The gold-medal-winning effort not only secured a momentous victory for Montverde Academy but also shattered their own previous record of 3:45.69, set just a year ago. Bullis claimed the silver medal with a time of 3:41.58, also inside the previous record, while Union Catholic TC secured the third position in 3:47.59.
