The Railroaders had a great night at the ACAC Track meet in Bluffton. The weather was perfect and we had some fantastic results.
The Boys team finished 3rd and were led by Todd Frickey who had a first place in the 100m with a time of 10.83. That was a new meet record.. He got 1st place in the 200m setting a new SCHOOL record of 22.40. That backs up his time at the last home meet of the year.. But, he wasn't done there. He also got first place in the 400m tonight in a time of 51.1. That triple victory is one of the toughest in track. He ran a total of 6 races including his leg of the 4x400. Great job Todd and good luck in the IHSAA tournament series over the next several weeks.
Jaron Somers got 2nd place in both the 1600m and 3200m runs. We also have some great expectations for him over the next several weeks. Drake Landes got 2nd in Long Jump and Rober Deventer got second in the Discus. Our boys really had a great meet tonight and defeated some teams who beat us in the regular season. We have gotten better and Coach Clifford can be proud of what he has done with the team this year.
The girls also had a great night. Jordyn Knott is winding down her high school track career and getting geared up for her College Track debut at Purdue. But, her focus tonight was on the ACAC. She won the High Jump and the 300 Hurdles. Her jump of 5-5 in High Jump is the state qualifying height. It should really give her confidence in working toward the state meet. Laura Moynahan also had a great night. She won both Shot and Disc. Ariel McCoy placed in all 4 distance events with a 4th, 4th, 8th, and 3rd. She ran the 3200 Relay, 1600, 800, and the 3200 tonight. Just like Todd, that is a tough combination. She earned a lot of points for the team tonight. Brandi Dawson placed in the 100, 200, 400, and the 3200 relay. She had 4th, 7th, 6th, and 8th. Jordyn placed in both jumps, the 300 hurdles, and the 200. The team also placed 3rd in the meet.
I am looking forward to the Sectional meets which begin next week. The girls travel to East Noble on Tuesday Night and the Boys travel to Angola on Thursday. Both meets begin at 5pm. Good Luck teams and individuals as we work toward the State meet in Bloomington.
