Pearson breaks conference record
Fort Recovery roundup
NEW BREMEN, Ohio — The Midwest Athletic Conference has a new girls long jump record.
Mara Pearson’s jump of 17 feet, 11 1/2 inches, broke the previous record by 1.25 inches and netted 10 points for the Indians.
The Fort Recovery High School track teams completed day one of the MAC HS Meet on Tuesday with the girls sitting in sixth and the boys in ninth.
The rest of the meet will be Friday at New Bremen High School.
Pearson’s jump earned half of the FRHS girls team’s 20 points, with the other 10 coming from Karlie Niekamp in the discus (seventh place) and the 4x800-meter relay (second place). They also qualified for the finals in six events — Pearson in the 100 dash (third), Anna Roessner in the 100 dash (sixth), 200 dash (fifth) and 400 dash (fifth), Kiana Matsuda in the 300 hurdles (third) and the 4x400 relay in the 4th position.
The boys tallied four points on Lucas Acheson’s sixth-place finish in the high jump and Carson Fullenkamp’s eighth-place finish in the shot put. Austin Steinbrunner qualified for the finals in the 100 dash and the 200 dash in the eighth position for both.
Errors hurt
ST. MARYS, Ohio — The Fort Recovery baseball team fell to the St. Marys Memorial Roughriders 4-1 on Tuesday.
The Roughriders attacked pitcher Wyatt Bihn early, scoring two runs in the first on a double and an error by Caden Grisez. Another error let a run score in the second inning, when Sage Wendel mishandled a fly ball in right field.
Troy Homan drove in the only run of the game in the bottom of the fourth inning. Alex Dues walked earlier in the inning and stole second base before the single drove him home.
Bihn suffered the loss after giving up three runs — one earned — in two innings pitched.
