Close!

It seems like all of our athletic events were exciting tonight. I just go the update from Softball and Garrett scored 1 run in the first inning. That's all they needed to defeat Leo 1-0 in a big ACAC matchup. There weren't many highlights except the final score. Jessica LaTurner and Katie DePew were both 2 for 3.  Really, Leo's pitcher dominated most of the game with 10 strike outs. But Kourtney Holliday had just enough to keep the Lady Lions off the scoreboard. Good Job Lady Railroaders!

The Boys and Girls track team both defeated Heritage in the first home track meet of the year. The night was full of close races. I love track. It is just as exciting, or more, than a close football game or an overtime, last second shot in Basketball. The relays were "Photo Finishes" every time. The problem is we don't use  cameras for dual meets. So we have to call the races by Eye. That is so intense. Jaron Sommers had a great night running the 3200 relay, 1600m, 800m, and the 3200m run. That is the toughest 4 events anyone could run. Jaron won all but the relay. What a workout. Jordyn Knott continued her track domination. Laura Moynahan had a great night in Shot and Discus. There were so many other great performances, I can't include them all. Maybe the finest performance was in the 1600m relay at the end of the night. Todd Frickey was the anchor and he had a huge margin to try to make-up. I really thought there was no way he could do it. But, He passed the Heritage runner in about 300m and the finish wasn't even close. He ran a 50 second split in his 400m. That is awesome.

Congrats to both track teams and the great workers who helped run the meet. We couldn't do it without them.

I haven't heard form Baseball. Let's hope they won. It doesn't matter if it's by one run or 10 runs, the victories count the same.
