ANGOLA – Churubusco’s girls track and field team looks to be ready for the postseason push.
The Eagles finished third at Wednesday night’s NECC meet with 74 points.
Angola tallied 134.5 points to easily win the team title. West Noble was runner-up with 109.5, Central Noble fourth with 63, Westview fifth with 54, Eastside sixth with 52.5, Fairfield seventh with 47, Garrett eighth with 32, Prairie Heights ninth with 25, Fremont 10th with 22 and Lakeland 11th with 10.5.
The Hornets won just three of the 14 events but were able to pile up the points with second, third and fourth-place finishes.
Churubusco coach Zach Dock said his team can be proud of having several all-NECC athletes, including Kena Hamman in the discus (second, 121-3) and Ella Boersma in the 400-meter dash (second, 59.84).
Boersma was pleased with her night. She didn’t run the 200-meter dash, which helped her have a little more energy for her other events.
Bianski, meanwhile, despite being a freshman, has looked poised and confident all season long.
“Just being ready out there,” Bianski said.
Dock said Bianski spends a lot of time in the weight room, which has helped set the table for her early success.
Freshman Nancy Bianski was second in the long jump (16-5 ¼) and also second to earn all-NECC honors in the 100-meter dash (12.87).
Dock said his tram looked good with the postseason on the horizon. “The kids ran really well out there tonight,” Dock said. “We had a bunch of PRs.)
Central Noble’s Ella Zolman won both the 100-meter dash (12.72) and the 200 (26.50).
Eastside’s Lilyan Kreischer won the 400-meter dash (59.15).
One of the best individual rivalries of the night came in the hurdle events: Angola’s Ashley Villa Romero edged West Noble’s Emily Mawhorter in the 100 (16.26-16.33), and Mawhorter took the 300 (48.30-49.45).
Angola’s Morgan Gaerte won the high jump (5-3).
West Noble’s Lanie Martin (2:23.12) edged Westview’s Adelyn Rainsberger (2:25.09) to win the 800-meter run. Martin also took the 1,600-meter run (5:26.31).
Trinity Martin made it a Charger sweep in the 3,200-meter run (12:16.30).
West Noble’s Kayle Jordan won the shot put (36-2) and Westview’s Lucy Rensberger took the discus event (121-9).
Central Noble won the 4x100-meter relay (4:10.88). Angola won the 4x400 and also won the 4x800 (10:15.09).
The focus for area teams now shifts to the road to the state meet at Indiana University in Bloomington, which gets under way next week with sectional meets. Angola will host a sectional that will also include Central Noble, DeKalb, East Noble, Eastside, Fremont, Garrett, Hamilton, Lakeland, Prairie Heights, West Noble and Westview.
Churubusco will travel to Fort Wayne for the Northrop Sectional.
