What an incredibly fun night for the Batesville Bulldog Track and Field team as they competed in the Boys Regional meet at Warren Central High School. Batesville has 3 individuals advancing onto the State competition next Friday, was able to crown an individual Regional Champion and a record from 2010 was broken!
2020-21 Warren Central Regional
The first running event of the night, the 4 x 800m relay, brought 4 personal best split times by all the relay team members, which was also a team personal best by over 11 seconds and broke the school record, coming through the finish line at 8:12.47! Members are Benjamin Moster, Daren Smith, Ean Loichinger, and JJ Kuisel. Despite this performance, the competition was fierce and this gave them a 5th place finish overall. Gabe Gunter was the next individual to perform at a personal best level, where he leaped over the high jump bar at 6’5″ (which is also the automatic qualifying height for state) giving him a 2nd place finish and advancing him to state. Then Benjamin Moster ran a personal best in the 1600 with a time of 4:30.37. Although he placed 4th this will also advance him to state. Then shortly after that, JJ Kuisel stepped to the line without a doubt in his mind and won the 400m dash (49.51), earning the Individual Regional Champion Title and advancing to the state meet.
Leo Maxwell from East Central was 2nd in the Shot Put and Discus while Peyton Cavins from Milan was 3rd in the 400 Dash.
