Wawasee back on top with win in relays

“I told those guys that I was tired of losing, and it’s time we start winning,” explained Wawasee track coach Jerry Minton. “Those guys did a great job. We really hung in there,” Minton said about his team’s efforts in Monday's Warrior Relays. Whatever Minton said must have done the job as Wawasee broke out of a season-long tailspin by winning their own relays with a late charge. Locked into fourth place most of the meet, the Warriors' depth gave the team enough points to pull out ahead of the pack. Wawasee scored 84, followed by Manchester (68 l 2), Whitko (75*2), North Wood (54), Plymouth (46), Tippecanoe Valley (42) and Eastside (33), Brad LeCount was the only Wawasee winner. He placed first in the pole vault with a 12-6 effort. The field events proved to be Wawasee’s biggest point producer. Ross Dahlstron placed second in the high jump, coming within three-fourths of an inch of tying the school record with his 6-4 jump. Joel Bales had a personal best at shot put, heaving it

46-6. Todd Reiff placed second in the discus competition, with a 134-8 toss. In the relays, Wawasee could do no better than third-place, but those third-place finishes kept the Warriors in line for the championship.

One week earlier, Nelson won the Heart Stoppers Marathon in Chicago for the second year in a row. Tom Loucks of Ossian was the overall winner in 2:29.55.

Ballinger and Auer finished third. Auer’s effort in this particular event helped to assure Wawasee’s bid for the winner’s circle. On the last mile leg, he passed all but two after starting way off the pace for a blazing, third-place finish. His gutsy dash meant the difference between zero and six points — points that became crucial for Wawasee late in the meet.

Lady Warriors 10-0, win half of NLC

In drizzling rain and cold temperatures, Wawasee’s Lady Warriors track team reached a milestone with the program’s third consecutive NLC roundrobin championsip. Wawasee defeated NLC foes Concord and North Wood in a triangular meet at the rain-swept Warrior track. Wawasee scored 64, Concord 40, and the Lady Panthers 29 in the meet. It was to be a showdown between Concord’s 9-0 tracksters against Wawasee’s 9-0 mark, but the Lady Warriors’ stole the show. Coach Barb Brouwer simply stood back and watched as her talented team ran away with the majority of the events. Senior Grace Stichter won the 1600-meter race with a schoolrecord time of 5:21.5. She shaved off nearly six seconds off the mark, established last year by Tonda Yeager. “When you have good kids, you make a good team,” commented a happy Brouwer, who was hoping the win would improve the team’s chances in next Tuesday’s NLC meet at Warsaw. Wawasee has won 50 per cent of the crown with last night’s (Tuesday) win, and needs only to finish second to capture the crown. Freshman Jeanine Gunn won third-place in the high-jump with her persdnal best of 5-1.

The schedule lightens up a bit from this point on, enabling Brouwer to concentrate on stragedy. “We have more practice time coming up so we can work on more technique,” the third-year coach explained. Looking ahead to the sectional, Brouwer hopes her team can improve their recent finishes by winning the elusive Elkhart Sectional. Tracksters on schedule heading into show down Coach Barb Brouwer’s Lady Warriors are on course to tie last season’s spotless 12-0 mark and depending on Tuesday’s showdown with NLC foe Concord (see related article), her talented tracksters could be in line for another NLC championship.
