FRMS owns shot, discus (03/30/05)

FORT RECOVERY — Dominance in the throwing events still wasn’t quite enough.

Fort Recovery’s junior high girls track team swept the top three spots in both the shot put and discus, but still fell just short and finished second to the Franklin Monroe Jets in Tuesday’s three-team meet.

The Indians had 56 points to Franklin Monroe’s 61. The Fairlawn Jets were third with 30.

The Tribe boys team also finished second with 46 points. Franklin Monroe won with 71 points, and Fairlawn was third with 34.

Anne Koesters paced Fort Recovery’s throwing domination, easily winning both events. She was first in the discus by nearly 30 feet with a toss of 87 feet, two inches. Teammate Lorraine Shier was second at 58 feet, eight inches, and Carly Staugler followed in third.

Koesters cruised in the shot put as well, throwing 27 feet, eight inches. Shier was again second at 24 feet, six inches, and Jessica Link took third.

Rachel Tobe gave the Tribe a third field-event win, taking the high jump by two inches at a height of four feet, six inches. Emily May won the 400-meter dash.

Tobe and May also joined Staugler and Tina Roessner to win the 4x400 relay.

Mitchel Link gave the Indians both discus wins on the night as he took the boys event at 79 feet, five inches.

The boys team also got individual wins from Jordan Hess in the 110 hurdles (20.35 seconds) and Adam Lochtefeld in the 200 dash (34.99).

Shane Stein, Perry Hull, Ethan Schoenherr and Greg Kahlig teamed for first in the 4x100 relay in 57.69.[[In-content Ad]]
