NEWARK -- Aysha Gregory of Brandywine broke the seven-year-old girls state shot put record at the Delaware High School Track and Field Meet of Champions at University of Delaware on Wednesday.

Gregory's put of 42 feet, 1 3/4 inches topped the 41-10 1/2 toss by William Penn's Rashawn White in 1995.

"This meet is one last chance to see who's the best," Gregory said. "I'm always shooting for a personal record, but if it's a state record, it happens. Going into that put I felt good. I released it and then I didn't think it was actually that good, but it was, and I knew my technique was right where it needed to be."

Dover senior Jason Lilly won four golds - sweeping the 100-, 200- and 400-meter dashes, and running anchor in the last event of the meet, the boys 4x400 relay.

In the 100, Lilly (10.89) edged Howard's Reggie Hopkins (10.96) and Delcastle's Mike Downs (11.03).

Winning three events were Polytech senior John Drummond, McKean junior Mandy Stille and Glasgow junior Kamiliaah Salaam.

Drummond and Stille each won a pair of hurdle races. Stille also won the triple jump. Salaam won the 200 and anchored Glasgow wins in the 4x200 and 4x400. Her 400-meter split-time in the latter was 55.21 seconds.

Double winners were Tatnall's Meredith Lambert (1,600, 3,200), Concord's Schachia Murphy (100, 400) and Newark's Louis Broyles (long/triple jump).

Lambert nearly broke her own 3,200 state record but missed by about seven seconds in 10:57.64.

In the boys 3,200, all eight runners ran in a tight pack most of the race, won by Tower Hill's Carl Smith.

Polytech won the boys 4x200 as .03 seconds separated the first three positions. Panthers anchor Robert Waters held off Mike Downs (Delcastle) and Dewayne Holloman (Cape Henlopen).
