Published Date: 2009-06-08 12:15:31

Girls 4x200 Relay: 3rd - Lindsey Bassitt, Lydia Guagenti, Sarah Strattonn, Bonnie Stratton

The girls team set a personal record running 1:44.76 to take third place in the finals. In Bonnie Stratton's final race as a Bluffton Pirate she eclipsed two sprinters over the final 200 meters to secure third place. Side note - the first and second place squads both bettered the state record in the 4x200.

800: David Moser - 6th at 1:56.31

Shot Put: Bo Zeigler - 7th at 54' 11.25"

For the second straight week, Bo set his PR. Senior DJ Duke from River High School set a new state record with a toss of 68' 8.25".

High Jump: Lydia Guagenti - 8th at 5'2"

Boys 4x400 Relay: 3:27.69 - Lucas Harnish, Zach Guagenti, David Yoder, David Moser - 4th in Preliminary race but 9th overall by one hundredth of a second. The anchor from Warren JFK fell down immediately in front of David Moser forcing David to go around him costing BHS a likely qualification in the finals. The JFK team was disqualified. The 3:27.69 is a PR for this relay team.

Track: HEADED TO COLUMBUS!!!

Published Date: 2009-05-29 22:26:03 | Updated: 2009-06-01 14:40:09

The Bluffton track teams advanced many athletes to the State Track Meet following impressive, gutsy performances at the regional meet in Tiffin. Coach Denny Phillips can be proud of his teams as the girls took third place and the boys finished in seventh.

Coach Phillips was gracious after the meet praising his athletes will well deserved accolades. "Tonight is all about these kids. They have just kept working and getting better. Over the last month we've gotten so much better and it's just a great thing to see. Tonight we saw Bo Zeigler advancing to state on his final throw with his back against the wall. We saw David Moser running down the defending state champ in the 800 for our 4x400 team to get to Columbus. I'm just really proud of these kids!"
