Triopia wins second straight regional title, sets school record with 28th victory
Triopia's 4-0 win over Tremont gave the Trojans back-to-back regional titles and a school-record 28th victory in Concord.
Triopia turned a Class 1A regional final in Concord into a program milestone, blanking Tremont 4-0 to claim a second straight regional title and the school’s 28th victory, a new benchmark for Triopia/Meredosia-Chambersburg/Virginia High School.
Mylee Tracy set the tone with a three-hit shutout, the kind of pitching line that carries postseason softball. With Tracy controlling the circle, Triopia never let Tremont build momentum, and the Trojans backed her with enough offense to keep the game comfortably in hand from start to finish.
The regional crown continued a run that had already marked this Triopia team as different from previous small-school contenders. The Trojans had opened the postseason by beating Midwest Central 9-3 in the regional semifinal on May 19, then finished the job against Tremont on May 23 at the Concord site. Before sectional play, the Illinois High School Association listed Triopia at 26-0 overall and 9-0 in conference play, numbers that showed this was a season-long surge, not a late playoff burst.
The win also extended a remarkable stretch for a program that had broken through with its first regional title in 13 years just one season earlier. Back-to-back regional championships gave Triopia something even more durable than hardware: a standard. The 28th victory moved the Trojans into school-record territory, and that achievement will define this group no matter how far the postseason run continues.
Triopia’s poise had already shown up in tighter moments during the playoff push. In another postseason game, Lucie Dion gave the Trojans a 1-0 lead in the first inning, and Tracy later escaped a seventh-inning jam to finish a 1-0 victory. That blend of timely offense, steady pitching and calm under pressure explained why Triopia looked so difficult to knock off once the bracket began.
The Trojans advanced to face Liberty in the sectional round on May 26, carrying with them the kind of resume that changes expectations around Morgan County and across west-central Illinois. MaxPreps listed Tracy among the team’s top statistical contributors for 2026, with a .537 batting average, 51 hits and 31 RBIs, reinforcing how central she was to a run that already stands as one of the school’s best.
