Pair has off day at state meet

I By MITCHELL STINSON Sports Writer Tim Edwards and Garrett Ponciroli left their best performances behind them when they headed for state competition in Indianapolis Friday. The two Wawasee Warrior track stars hoped to place in the top five in their respective.events, but it just wasn't their day. Edwards broke the school high jump record seven times earlier in the season. His season high leap of six feet, eight inches would have been good enough to place in the state competition. However, he wasn't able to approach that height again in the latter part of the season, as illness took its toll. Even when he wasn't competing at his best. Edwards had enough natural ability to easily advance through sectional and regional competition. Ponciroli's situation was much different. He peaked at just the right time, setting personal records in the discus on a weekly basis when post-season play came around. But he still would have needed to raise his game to

another level in order to crack the top five at Indianapolis. “He’d have had to have thrown 10 feet over his best throw and he didn't do it,” said Warriors’ coach Jerry Minton. Minton said Edwards and Ponciroli had mixed feelings about their Indianapolis experience. They would have liked to have done better but it was still a great achievement just to qualify to be there. “They had a good time, they enjoyed it,” Minton said. “It’s just unfortunate they couldn't have their best performances, but those came earlier.” The state meet marked the end of a season that had its ups and downs for Wawasee’s tracksters. The Warriors finished 4-3 in the tough Northern Lakes Conference, with injuries slowing their progress down the stretch. Ponciroli was named Most Valuable Player for the Warriors, narrowly beating out sprinter Andy Eberly for the honor.
