The Boys Track and Field team completed their Indoor season on Saturday at IU participating in the Hoosier State Relays.
Competing for the Pirates were Junior Tanner Yonts, shot put and the 4×800 meter relay squad of Seniors Reid McClintic, Kevin Johnson and Louis Moore along with Freshman Hunter Butz. Even though no one made the podium, even competed well and gained valuable experience for the upcoming outdoor season.
The Pirates will be in action on April 6 when they host conference foes Batesville and East Central and then they will host the Crossbones Relays on April 8.

The Lady Pirates closed their indoor season at IU during the Hoosier State Relays Saturday afternoon.
Four individuals and one relay team qualified for the coveted top 24 spots amongst all the small schools in the state of Indiana. High Jump Medalist Arie Hampton and Shot Put Medalist Lily Grimes both earned 5th place on the podium. Both Hampton and Grimes improved upon their performances from last year at HSR with better marks. Grimes actually threw a career best with 38’9.75″.
Other improvements came from the girls 4 x 800 crew composed of Cathy Newhart, Morgan Winkler, Julia Ankney, and Cameron Jones who dropped 24 seconds from their previous relay time. HSR 60m hurdle qualifier Rylie Smith and shot put qualifier Erin Browning also performed well and gained significant experience for what comes next.
