COLUMBIA CITY — Indian Springs Middle School’s boys and girls track teams ended their season this month.

The boys 8th-grade squad took first place in the Northeast Lakes Middle School Conference meet, downing Whitko, Lakeview, Edgewood, Lincoln, Riverview and Crestview.

ISMS barely edged Lincoln, by five points, to earn the title.

Many tracksters placed higher in their events than they were seeded.

The girls took third in the NELMSC conference meet, and Whitko’s girls won.

Results for Whitko’s athletes were not available.

FORT WAYNE — Columbia City rode two home runs to victory in a 9-7 win over Northrop Friday night.

The first was a two-run shot over the left field fence off the bat of Eagle third baseman Jordan Bickle. His dinger came in the top of the first inning, giving Columbia City a lead it wouldn’t relinquish.

“I think the key to the game was starting it off offensively with Bickle’s home run. I think that got us going,” said Columbia City Head Coach Zac Bireley.

The other homer, also to left field, was a grand slam by right fielder Keaton Reed in the third frame that put the Eagles up 7-1.

FORT WAYNE — Columbia City took two from Bishop Dwenger in a double header Saturday at Shoaff Park.

The Eagles won the morning game 8-3, and then beat the Saints again by a final of 13-3.

Columbia City betters its record to 13-8 with the two wins. Both victories are part of an important turn-around for the Eagles, who before Saturday had a 4-6 record so far in May.

“I think we were in the game, as opposed to other games we’ve had this last month,” said Columbia City Head Coach Zac Bireley.
