he Batesville Boys and Girls Track team opened up their season last night hosting Franklin County. Despite the slight chill in the air, the weather was almost perfect for a track meet and many athletes took advantage of that. One in particular, RobertStrobel, who was outstanding in the pole vault as he broke the school record set back in 1992 (by his pole vault coach, Dave Bedel at 13’3″). Robert vaulted to 13’6″ and also had a great attempt at 14’0″! Congratulations Robert! The boys were victorious
scoring 84.5 points to FC’s 46.5. The girls, however, came up just short as FC got them by just 5 points, 68.5-63.5.
