VERSAILLES — It was a profitable day for all the local teams Saturday in the 11th Annual Lady Tiger Classique held in Versailles.
In the Orange Division the Minster Wildcats won going away with 178 points. They outdistanced Ft. Loramie who finished second with 123.5 points and Ansonia was third with 97.5 points. New Bremen was fourth with 79 points.
In the White Division the Versailles A team was first with 185 points. Marion Local was second with 133 points. Anna was third with 131.5 points and St. Henry was fourth with 86 points.
In the Black Division Vandalia Butler won with 165 points and Eaton was second with 123.5 points. St. Marys was third with 101 points and the Versailles B team was fourth with 64.5 points.
“I very pleased with what we did today,” Wildcat head coach Cindy Nelson said. “With only three weeks of practice you can only do so much with snow on the ground. I am really pleased with our times. These kids were really dedicated during the winter and they put their time in and it showed today. We had many personal records today and a lot of goals broken and they did more than they thought they could do.”
The local athletes started right from the start in the field events. In the shot put LeAnn Martine of Dt. Loramie won with a toss of 33-9, but Becca Steineman of Minster was second at 33-0. Sarah Kaiser of New Bremen was fifth at 28-8, Jessica May of New Bremen was seventh at 28-1 and Kelly Dahlinghaus of Minster was eighth at 28-.25.
In the black division Mekayla Breland of St. Marys won the shot put with a toss of 33-9.5 and Elisabeth Wheeler of Brookville was a close second at 33-1.50.
Steineman came back and won the discus for Minster with a throw of 105-8 and Jaclyn Dabbelt of New Bremen was second at 103-3. Lauryn Bertke of New Bremen was sixth at 83-6 and Dahlinghaus of Minster was seventh at 84-5.
Taylor Jones of New Bremen was the winner in the long jump with a leap of 15 - 8.5 and Kelli Kemper of Minster was sixth with a leap of 13-6.5. Kursten Fenwick of St. Marys finished sixth at 12-8.75 and Dee Dee Sudhoff of St. Marys was seventh at 12-7.75.
Emily Barhorst of Minster was eighth in the high jump with a leap of 4-6. Megan Fullenkamp won the orange division at 5-0. In the black division Sarah Wolfe of St. Marys won at 4-10.
Sarah Huelsman of Minster won the pole vault at 8-6 and Andrea Keibel of Minster was fourth at 7-0. Emily Rutschilling was fifth at 7-0. Leslie Humphries of St. Marys won the black division at 9-7 and Katie Heitkamp of St. Marys was fifth at 7-6.
“We did have a couple of surprises,” Nelson said. “In the pole vault Huelsman had a jump of 8-6 which was her personal record last year so she is starting out at a new level. Becca Steineman won the discus which was a surprise.”
In the running events Minster won all four relay races. In the 100-meter relay the Wildcats had a time of 54 seconds, in the 200 they had a time of 1:55, in the 400 they had a time of 4:21.7 and in the 800 they had a time of 10:21.3. New Bremen was sixth in the 100 at 59.1, fifth in the 200 at 2:03.5 and they finished third in the 800 at 10:48.7. St. Marys was third in the 100 and 200 at 55.8 and 1:58.3. They were fourth in the 400 at 4:40.7 and fifth in the 800 at 12:11.4.
Tiffany Olberding of Minster was third in the 100-meter dash in a time of 14.1 and Stephanie Kemper of New Bremen was right behind in 14.2. Kaysha Dietz of St. Marys was third at 13.5.
In the running events Minster had three first place finishes and New Bremen had one first place finish.
“We didn’t have enough personnel today,” Cardinals head coach Sue Ritter said. “We had a hard time putting two athletes in every event because of injury. I think right now we are trying to run too many people which is taking away from their best possible chances. Our surprises were a first place finish in the 300 hurdles (Renee Dicke) and the 400 dash (Jones/63.6).”
“I think this was a good learning day for us,” St. Marys head coach Dan Cook said. “We are trying to find out who we have in events. We are also trying to find new people in events and they really stepped up and we are really pleased. We had a first in high jump, shot put, we doubled scored in the pole vault and shot put and we scored in every event but one.”
