Concord High School track and field senior Ella Goulas recently won three NHIAA titles at the Division I state championship.
At Portsmouth High School, Goulas defended her crown in the triple jump (37 feet, 9.75 inches, more than 3 feet ahead of the next competitor), and won long jump (18-4.25) and high jump (5-0).
She was part of a historic win by the Crimson Tide, which secured the school’s first girls’ track and field state championship since 1988.
A week later, at the NHIAA Meet of Champions, Goulas won the long jump and triple jump and also ran a leg on Concord’s champion 4x100 relay.
