Unedited reports from coaches…

Batesville’s Lisa Gausman-  Overall it was a pretty pleasant night for the girls 13 team track sectionals and Batesville came ready to compete.  The Batesville Bulldogs have 9 different events moving on to Regional competition next week, with some events having multiple Bulldogs advancing.  To advance, you must place in the top 3 for the night or be one of the next 4 fastest times going into the Regional meet to fill the field of 16. Although Batesville didn’t have any individual Sectional champions, the girls placed a very solid 2nd as a team to a very strong East Central team 186-108.5.  Lawrenceburg just outscored Greensburg 79-75. Franklin County came in 5th at 43.5. (For further team and full results you can find them at Stuartroadracing.com)
