East Central hosted a 10 team indoor track meet Saturday. All of our conference schools competed as well as North and South Decatur. This meet was not a team scored meet, however awards were given to the top 6 athletes and relay teams of each event.
Even though many Batesville athletes were not able to compete because of other commitments, Batesville athletes were still awarded many of these top 6 places.
