EVANSVILLE – North is home to one of the best track and field groups in the Southern Indiana Athletic Conference. The boys and girls team often find themselves in contention for championships at the City Meet, conference and sectional – especially in recent years.

Track and field is a team sport that demands the contributions of everyone involved in order to leave a meet victorious. Much of the Huskies’ success has had to do with the productivity of its sibling pairing, De’Amontey and De’Janay Layne.

They are both track competitors for North, specializing in short-distance running and relay competitions. De’Amontey and De’Janay have gone as far as representing the Huskies at the state level in Indianapolis in each of the last two seasons. De’Janay has done so since her freshman season in 2023.

The two move together as not only brother and sister, but tone setters for what success has looked like at North. Winning a meet is always nice, but for De'Amontey and De'Janay, it means little in relation to what it takes to get there.

It’s always been about the work for them.

“Everybody doesn’t see the hard days, they see the end result,” De’Amontey said. “You've got to put in the work, and that’s what we do (at practice), so it feels much better when we win. It pays off.”
