Arcata’s Bella DeCarli continued her impressive spring in track and field with three wins at the fourth H-DNL meet of the season at Fortuna on Wednesday.

The standout freshman won both the 200 meters and 400m, and also teamed with Zalayshia Velazquez, Nicole Nozawa and Ada Kinziger to win the 4x300m relay.

The Tigers won seven of the 17 events and would take the team win with 138 points, followed by Eureka (127), Fortuna (108), St. Bernard’s 53) and Del Norte (38).

DeCarli set a PR on her way to victory in the 200m with a time of 27.41 seconds, with Eureka’s Emily Pesch and Evelyn Ladika in second and third, respectively.
