CENTERVILLE, Ind. – Centerville’s track teams are in opposite situations as the Bulldogs get set to start the 2016 season with a dual meet at Connersville on Thursday, April 7.
“We return experience in many events,” Head Girls Coach Mike Day said. “We also have many others that I believe that will compete and score many valuable points for us this season. I’m looking forward to watching them grow and flourish.”
On the other side of the ledger, Head Boys Coach Tom Dunham is also hoping for growth from his squad.
“We are looking to find out where we are,” Dunham said. “We’ve got a lot of new faces. The boys graduated probably 97 percent of the points they scored last year.”
Topping the list of returnees for the girls are Ashley Toschlog, Kayla Newman, Anna Hawk, Maddie Riggott, Sophia Neher, Aubrey Davis, Madison Day, Emily Willis and Darien Ridenour.
Toschlog, who has signed to compete next year at Indiana University-East, along with Newman and Hawk were part of the 3,200-meter relay squad that won the Tri-Eastern Conference title in that event a year ago.
The other competitors for the Bulldogs are Merissa Ross, Madilyne Coomes, Paige Wells, Annalyn Markley, Cassie Overmier, Christa Burns, Jade Vigh, MC Couch, Abbie Dillman, Madeline Steinfort, Jolie Rusznak, Autumn Toschlog, Grace Tracy, Jessie Clarkston, Kailee Tedder, Madilynne Day, Michaela Stough, Brittney Farmer and Angela Boswell.
David Burke
On the boys side, Dunham is expecting the leaders to be David Burke, Seth Woolwine, Austin Miller, Austin Senters, Levi Parrish, Nico Wankerl, Reese VanDevender and Dylan Benedict.
Rounding out the roster are Lucas Buchanan, Alfredo Calderon, Jacob Creigmile, Noah Douglas, Khai Duncan, Kaleb Duncan, Parker Gray, Braxton Gray, Brice Griffen, Jarrett Hayden, Matthew Heath, Parker Jaynes, Joseph Jennings, Ben Lair, Jonathan Larsen, Eli McCoy, Darin Myers, John Neely, Ben Nevels, Jake Newland, William Owens, Brandt Stapleton, Matthew Steele, Seth Stegall, Noah Strunk and Ryan Tincher.
