The Batesville Track team traveled to East Central both Friday night and Saturday to compete in their only indoor track meeting this season as East Central was able to host a 3-way indoor meet between Batesville, East Central, and Franklin County.
Although this is usually a meet to qualify for the indoor state meet, this meet has been canceled for the 2021 year. We are thankful that East Central was able to safely put together a really good meet for us to compete in. To help with numbers and logistics, they held all the field events on Friday night and the running events Saturday.
Batesville had several 1st place finishes on Friday night and set a new EC indoor record. Lily Meyer won the long jump with 15’5.75″, Nadine Davis was the champion in the pole vault with 7’6″ and Gabe Gunter wowed the high jump field, winning by 10.5 inches and setting a new record jumping at 6’2.5″.
