The Batesville High School Track Team opened up their outdoor season tonight with a double victory over the Greensburg Pirates. The boys won 80-52, while the girls ran away with the victory 91-41. The boys came away champions in 10 of the 16 events with the girls winning 12. Despite the 17 mph windy conditions, the threat of showers stayed away and the early spring season air made it feel just like it should for the opening of the 2019 track season.

4 x 800 split time-Adam Hollowell; 400m dash-Kavin Saravanan, Vonley Hund, Kasin Hughes; 4 x 400 split time-Tyler Meyers, Kavin Saravanan, Johnathan Lynch; High Jump-Kent Meyers, Gabe Gunter, Johnathan Lynch; Long Jump-Charlie Laymon; Shot Put-Sam Sittloh and Jack Forbeck; Discus-Katie Bedel, Taylor Townsley and Georgie Doll.
