Roughia, a 2005 JCHS graduate, clobbered the field in the mile with a time of 5-minutes, 42 seconds. She was eight seconds ahead of second-place Becca Landers of Manchester.

The freshman also placed second in the 800-meter run in a time of 2:38, just one second off the pace of Manchester’s Stephanie Phillips. She teamed with Sara Bennett, Katie Crandell and Brittany Fillman to win the 4x342 relay in 3:47.

Overton’s double-digit effort helped the Chargers pull closer to .500 as they sit 7-9 after topping Kalamazoo Valley Community College 95-79 Wednesday. He also had a team-high 19 points in a 124-65 loss to Muskegon Jan. 14.

Tyler Niekamp

It’s been all twos recently for this 2003 Fort Recovery graduate.

The 2003 graduate of Jay County posted a pair of second-place finishes in the Wabash swim team’s 147-96 loss to No. 18 DePauw Wednesday.

Weaver’s top individual finish for the Little Giants, who were ranked 19th, came in the 200-yard freestyle where he was second in 22.39 seconds. He also joined Michael Hewitt, Brent Graham and Blaine Cooper-Surma to place second in the 400 medley relay in 3-minutes, 39.03 seconds. He was third in the 100 butterfly in 54.17 seconds.

Andrew Wells

A 2002 Jay County graduate, he aided in a fourth-place relay finish for Wabash against DePauw.

Wells joined Max Rubesch, Nate Rutz and John Kasey, finishing fourth in the 800-yard freestyle relay in 8-minutes, 5.66 seconds. He was also sixth in the 200 freestyle in 2:01.62 and eighth in the 500 freestyle in 5:19.57.

He teamed with Rubesch, Rutz and Jon Harris for a second-place finish in the loss to Washington. He was seventh in the 1650 freestyle (19:08.85) and eighth in the 500 freestyle (5:41.18).

Trent Bailey

The 2005 Jay County graduate saw his first varsity action in Division III No. 1 Wittenberg’s 83-41 shellacking of Hiram Jan. 14.
