Pearson nearly matches record
VERSAILLES — Just one quarter of an inch.
That’s how close Mara Pearson was to her school record in the long jump.
Pearson’s near-record win in her signature event was one of five for the Fort Recovery High School girls track team as it finished second Tuesday in a four-team meet against Midwest Athletic Conference rivals New Knoxville and Delphos St. Johns.
The girls scored 90 points, 45 behind first place Versailles (135). The boys had 55 points, finishing behind conference rival Versailles (164).
Pearson jumped a distance of 17 feet, 8 inches even in the victory.
The girl’s relay teams performed well getting first place in the 4x800-meter relay (10 minutes, 15.77 seconds), the 4x200 relay (1.52.65) and the 4x400 relay (4.22.67). They also finished second in the 4x100 relay.
Other individuals that placed first for the girls were Kiana Matsuda in the 300 hurdles (50.80) and Jenna Hart in the 3,200 run (13.24.00).
Trevor Heitkamp took care of the distance races for the boys, once again finishing first in the 800 run (2.06.51), the 1,600 run (4.36.17) and the 3,200 run (10.23.22).
Streak stops
VERSAILLES — The Fort Recovery baseball team’s winning streak ended Tuesday as the Indians fell 1-0 to the Versailles Tigers.
The Indians (5-2, 1-1 Midwest Athletic Conference) and Tigers (6-4, 2-0 MAC) were scoreless through four and a half innings before the host team broke through for the only run of the game. Joe Ruhenkamp reached base for Versailles and Michael Osborne brought him to the plate with one of his two hits in the game.
Bo Thien took the hard-luck loss as he gave up just the single run on five hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out six batters.
Ross Francis and A.J. Griesdorn combined to limit the Tribe to two hits — one each by Caden Grisez and Daniel Patch. Francis recorded nine strikeouts as he went six innings for the win, while Griesdorn locked down the save.
Tigers top
FORT RECOVERY — A hot start at home didn’t last Tuesday as the Fort Recovery softball team fell 14-4 in six innings to Versailles.

Versailles (4-5, 1-0 MAC) pulled even in the second inning and then scored four times in the third and five in the fifth.
Sophie Pearson gave up nine runs — seven earned — on nine hits and three walks in four innings for the loss.
Cali Wendel paced the Fort Recovery offense, going 2-for-3 with a run. Maddie Guggenbiller was 1-for-3 with a run and an RBI.
Jenna Dirksen mashed the Tribe at the plate, finishing 4-for-5 with a run and an RBI for Versailles.
