North High School 1994 Girls Track State Champions (4x200 & 4x400 relay teams)
The 1994 Springfield North HS Girls Track team was one of the strongest groups to ever take the track for the Panthers, finishing 3rd at the OHSAA State Championships behind the efforts of Carrie Bayless, Kaamilya Davis, Faith Foster, Maria Moss and Deidra Phillips. The Panthers competed at the 1994 State Championships in the 4x100m relay, the 4x200 relay and the 4x400m relay. The 4x200m relay team, composed of Davis, Bayless, Phillips and Moss would sprint past the competition to win the OHSAA State Championship. The 4x400 team of Foster, Bayless, Moss and Davis would close out the meet by claiming another State Championship. The Panthers’ 3rd place finish in the team standings was also bolstered by a 6th place finish by Moss in the 100m dash and an individual State Championship by Davis, who won the 400m dash.
These individuals were honored by the Athletic Department prior to the Springfield High School boys basketball game on Feb. 10, 2024.
