Fortkamp, Wendel lead Indians in regular season finale

BERNE — Sage Wendel and Teigen Fortkamp have led the Indians all year. That didn’t change as they wrapped up the regular season.

The Fort Recovery High School girls swim team split with Versailles and Coldwater while the boys team fell to both on Thursday night.

Versailles’ girls ran away for first place with 82 points while Fort Recovery scored 47 to edge out Coldwater’s 44. The boys team won half of its events, but a lack of depth resulted in only scoring 25 points while Versailles had 72 and Coldwater earned 52.

Wendel captured the top spot in the 100-yard freestyle. He also took first in the 100 backstroke.

Caleb Smith had the other victory for the Indians (1-11) in the 100 breaststroke.

Fortkamp claimed both victories for the girls team (8-4). She came out on top of the 200 freestyle and the 500 freestyle.

The meet closed the regular season for the Indians, who will next compete at the sectional meet at Ayersville on Feb. 10.
