Two more head to state
TROY, Ohio — The Indians had one girl earn a state berth Wednesday.
They added two more Friday.
Fort Recovery High School junior Abbie Francis and freshman Mara Pearson both placed third Friday in the OHSAA Division III Track and Field Region 12 championships at Troy and earned berths in the state finals.
The top four in each event qualify for state, which is set for June 4 and 5 at Westerville North.
Whitley Rammel, also an FRHS junior, was second in shot put Wednesday to qualify for state.
Seeded second heading into the regional meet, Francis posted a time of 12.9 seconds in Wednesday’s 100-meter dash preliminaries for the No. 3 seed in tonight’s final. She was a tad off that time in her final, ending in 13.15 seconds for third. Kiersten Franklin of Lehman Catholic was the champion in 12.81 seconds.
Pearson, meanwhile, was seeded 11th going into the meet with her distance of 16 feet, 0.25 inches. However, in the finals she out-leaped her seed by more than a foot, jumping to a distance of 17 feet, 1 inch, just 1.75 inches behind regional champion Laryn Wolters of Anna.
Both Fort Recovery 4x200 relays missed state berths by one position. Kierra Wendel, Allysen Fullenkamp, Pearson and Francis had a time of 1 minute, 48.97 seconds, for fifth, 0.75 seconds behind fourth-place Lehman Catholic.
Owen Moorman, Derek Jutte, Reece Guggenbiller and Gavin Thobe finished in 1:34.40, which was also fifth. Anna earned the final state-qualifying spot with its time of 1:33.87.
Megan Diller, Francis, Wendel and Natalie Brunswick placed seventh in the 4x400 relay in 4:15.06, with Marion Local (4:09.85) placing fourth.
Fullenkamp, Pearson and Francis joined Marie Nachtsheim to place eighth in the 4x100 relay with their time of 53 seconds flat. West Liberty-Salem was fourth in 51.7 seconds.
Brunswick also competed in the 1,600 run, and she placed ninth.
Fort Recovery’s girls scored 19 points on day two to finish with 33 and ninth place out of 36 scoring teams. West Liberty-Salem, the 2019 state champion, scored 90 points for the regional title. Minster was the runner-up with 50.2 points, and Lehman Catholic scored 49 for third.
Minster’s boys scored 78.5 points to win its regional crown. Cedarville (65) was second and Marion Local (52) placed third.
