It was a long night for Sagamore Conference teams Thursday
evening at the Lafayette Boys’ Track Regional. Southmont was the highest team
finisher among Sagamore squads, placing 15^th in the field of 29
teams. Crawfordsville followed closely in 16^th, while Danville and Tri-West tied for 18^th and Frankfort finished 26^th.

 
Only two conference athletes advanced to the state finals.  Southmont’s Jonathon Christensen, who won the High Jump competition
with a leap of 6’9”. Tri- West’s Mathew Moore also qualified with a second place performance in the 300 Meter Jurdles.

Crawfordsville leads the way with three players named to
first team honors on the Sagamore Al-Conference Softball team. Stormy Staton,
Marrissa French and Chelsea Day were the Athenians so honored. The bad news for
Sagamore Conference foes is that Staton is just a junior and both French and
Day are just sophomores. With the way Crawfordsville dominated the league this season,
it appears more of the same may be on the way for the next couple of years.

 
Lebanon,
Tri-West, North Montgomery, Western Boone and
Southmont all placed two players on the first team. Lebanon’s Kalyn Hacker and Sarah
Skelton were the Tigers named, while Lacie Woodall and Cindy Bondy represent
Tri-West. Jami Addler and Casey Stall brought back All-Conference fame to
Southmont. Alli Thompson and Ashley Buis are the North
Montgomery contingent. Western Boone added Krystal White and
Jordan Hoskins. The first team is rounded out by Cara Conklin of Frankfort and Shelly Winkler of Danville.

 
Crawfordsville again placed three players on the second
team, Elizabeth Zachery, Sarah Williams, and Ariel Hinton. They were joined by
three members of the Western Boone Stars,Cari Clanton, Jennifer Biesecker and MacKenzie
Benson. Ashley Holmes and Laci Richardson represent Lebanon on the second unit, while Maria
Crossley and Kaylee Shaw are the Tri-West Bruins named. Frankfort had three named to the second team
in Jessica Ayres, Brittney leach and Caitlin Pearcy. The second team is rounded
out by Heather Reeves of Danville and North Montgomery’s
Tori Harmon.

Crawfordsville led the way for Sagamore Conference schools
in a rain altered schedule of boys track sectionals Thursday evening. The Athenians
placed fourth in the Plainfield Sectional field that included five Sagamore
teams. Other conference finishes were Danville in sixth, Tri-West seventh,
Southmont eighth, and Western Boone 11^th.The Athenians qualified
five individuals and two relay teams for next week’s regional competition. That
represented a significant improvement over recent seasons.

 
Meanwhile, Lebanon
finished 110^th in the sledgehammer field at Carmel
while Frankfort and North Montgomery were
postponed by rain at Lafayette.
The Hot Dogs are expected to show well at that location.

 
Here is the rundown on Sagamore performances.

 
CRAWFORDSVILLE—Advanced five individuals and two relay
teams.

   To say the
Athenians advanced five individuals is a little misleading. That is because
they were led by two athletes who qualified in more than one event. The star of
the day for Crawfordsville was Trace Cotton who won the 110 Meter Hurdles and came
back with a third place finish in the 300 Meter Hurdles. Jordan Boykin also
qualified in two events, ending fourth in the 100 Meters and third in the High
Jump. Others advancing included James Caraher with a second in the 800 Meters,
Cory Yund with a fourth in the 100 Meter Hurdles, and Craig Fairley with a
third in the 200 Meters. The Athenians advanced both sprint relays with a third
in the 4 X 100 and a fourth in the 4 X 400.

DANVILLE—Advanced
four individuals.

   Again, one person
is counting for two. Karl Schoening placed fourth in the Shot Put for the
Warriors after winning the Discus. Danville
also advanced sprinter Luke Robinson and pole vaulter Trent Schaffer.

SOUTHMONT—Advanced two individuals through placement.

   The Mounties were
led by Jonathon Christensen who continued his sparkling season by winning the
High Jump. Patrick Posthauer will also be in the regionals after finishing
second in the 110 Meter Hurdles.

TRI-WEST—Advanced two individuals and one relay team.

   The Bruins’ Mathew
Moore ended second in the 300 meter Hurdles and mate Daniel Hoover was fourth
in the 1600 Meter Run. Tri-West also advanced their 4 X 800 Meter Relay Team
with a fourth place performance.

Unlike many other sports, Sagamore Conference girls track
teams were spread among three sectionals Tuesday evening. As expected,
Southmont and Danville
experienced the most success. Those two squads just participated in an epic
battle for the conference championship last week. This time around Southmont
finished fifth in the South Putnam sectional and Danville was right behind in sixth. Also in
that sectional, Western Boone ended ninth, Tri West 11^th, and
Crawfordsville 12^th. At Noblesville, Lebanon
took a tenth place finish, and in Lafayette Frankfort placed sixth while North Montgomery wound up 11^th.

Here is a summary of each team’s performance
 

SOUTHMONT—Advanced five individuals and two relay teams.

   The Mounties were
led by another record setting performance by their 3200 Meter Relay Team which
won the event in a sectional record time of 9:43.01. Southmont also advanced
their 4X400 Relay Team with a third place finish. The distance running barrage
continued with Creasy Clauser winning the 800 Meters in a time of 2:19, Kylie
Lippencott finishing second in the 1600 Meters and Holly Harch duplicating that
in the 3200 Meters. The Mounties also advanced athletes with a 3^rd in
the Long Jump and a 2^nd in the Pole Vault.

DANVILLE—Advanced
four individuals and one relay team

   The Warriors got
their 4 X 100 Relay Team through with a fourth place finish. That team was
anchored by Jessica Coccaro who advanced individually by placing third in the
100 Meters. Danville
also got advancing efforts from Lauren Callahan who was fourth in the 800 and
Abigail Brewer who placed third in the 1500 Meters. The regional team was
rounded out by a third place finish from Stephani Collisoon in the Pole Vault.

FRANKFORT—Advanced
one individual and one relay team.

   The highlight for
the Hot Dogs was a second place performance by Christen Kazmiecks in the Pole
Vault. They also got through their 4 X 400 Relay Team.

WESTERN Boone—Advanced two individuals.

   The two Stars to
advance are the same person. Multi-sport star Brandy Woody will go to regionals
in two events. She finished third in the 400 Meters and fourth in the High
Jump.

TRI-WEST—Advanced one individual.

   The Bruins will
send Sara Blair to regionals after a fourth place performance in the Long Jump.

CRAWFORDSVILLE—Advanced one individual.

   Liz Fowler ended
fourth in the Discus.

It’s a good thing they missed an extra point. That has to be
the comment making the rounds in Sagamore baseball circles after Thursday
evening’s game between Tri-West and Western Boone. The Bruins hit the 20 run
mark in a 20-11 slugfest win over the Stars. The battle was called at the end
of six innings because of darkness.

 
Tri-West’s Brock Sellers was the star of the day, collecting
six RBIs including a two run homer in the second inning. The Bruins scored in
every inning. They needed to because Western Boone kept fighting back all
night.

 
After scoring five times in the top of the first, Tri-West
pitching had a hard time finding the strike zone in the bottom of the inning,
allowing the Stars to wipe the slate clean with five of their own. No problem,
Tri-West scored three more in the second, one in the third, four in the fourth,
and posted a six spot on the board in the fifth. One more run in the sixth let
them reach the 20 run plateau.

 
Western Boone only gathered eight hits on the evening, but
used 11 walks to stay in the game. They were still within 13-9 at the end of
four innings, but the Bruin outburst in the fifth ended all doubt.
