Terre Haute - November 1, 2025

Carmel scored 100 points, extending its record to 21 state titles in the sport. Concordia Lutheran was second with 129, Bloomington South third with 150, and Homestead fourth with 172.

Foley finished third in 17:22.6, and teammate Larkin Taylor was 10th in 17:46.0. Annabel Pollert, who secured the track title by finishing third at state in the 3,200 meters, was 22nd in 18:10.2. In track, Foley was tripped near the start of the 1,600 before the race was recalled. She stayed on the track for several minutes for medical treatment, which included a taped ankle and bandaged leg.

She came away with scrapes and spike wounds. She finished fifth in the 1,600 and ran the third leg on a 4x400 relay team that was second. Carmel needed those points to beat Hamilton Southeastern 54-46. The next day, Foley was diagnosed with a fracture. She biked and cross-trained all summer, not resuming regular running until late August. Patience paid. “I think it’s been really rewarding for me,” Foley said. “I think it’s motivated my teammates.

So that’s been a big part of this season. ”It was the second title for second-year coach Scott Williams, who arrived at Carmel after 33 years as a teacher, coach or administrator at Ben Davis.“It’s tough to do anything twice, despite any type of circumstances,” he said. “We just knew we had to come down and adapt to the situation.”
