The Centerville girls track team won the TEC title on May 12, 2016.
HAGERSTOWN, Ind. – What a difference a week makes.
The Centerville girls track team reversed its fortunes on Thursday night as the Bulldogs won their first Tri-Eastern Conference title since 2007.
“Last week at the Tiger Booster there were a lot of great teams that made us work,” Centerville Head Coach Mike Day said.
Hagerstown, which had won the last five TEC crowns, won the Tiger Booster with the Bulldogs finishing second.
“We did a lot better in the field events,” Day said. “We got crushed last week. For us to beat them is an honor.”
Centerville led the way with 144 points, while Hagerstown finished with 134. Winchester was third with 77 and Union County 70 was fourth. The rest of the field in order was Union City 47, Tri 37, Northeastern 32 and Lincoln 21.
Ashley Toschlog and Jolie Rusznak led the Bulldogs as they combined to win five events as individuals and two more on relay teams.
“It means everything to me,” Toschlog said. “We put all of our hearts out there on the track. “This moment couldn’t be any better. I’m in tears.”
Toschlog won the 800 (2:30.32), 1,600 (5:35.51) and the 3,200 (12:43.89). Her 1,600 time broke the school record 5:36 set by Shannon Kendall in 1999.
“It was really difficult,” Toschlog said of her events. “I just knew I had to do this for my team.”
