Unedited coaches reports…
Batesville’s Lisa Gausman- It was finally a night of sunshine for our track meet tonight and it was fun watching the Bulldogs increase their win count with a victory over Lawrenceburg at the Tiger stadium.
Lawrenceburg put on a great challenge for the Dogs and it came down to the last event, but the Bulldogs pulled it off. The girls won 77-60 and the boys won by 6 points 69-63.
With a few injuries and some sickness, many of the Dogs were asked to step it up a bit and they answered the challenge. The girls captured 10 individual championships and the boys 11. But, one of the highlights of the evening came towards the beginning of the meet where Senior Eli Pierson broke Chris Giesting’s 100m dash record from 2010 (11.01) by .02 seconds, flying through the finish line in 10.99. He also came in first in the 200m dash and 400m dash. Congratulations Eli!
