Batesville claimed 9 individual championships and 4 relay championships on the night. The relays were exciting as all 4 came down to the final stretch. The meet also awarded an overall MVP for both the boys and the girls for the athlete that scored the most points for the\night and I am proud to report that both of these athletes were wearing the big “B” on their jersey, representing Batesville High School well.
