Panthers take second
NORTH VERNON — Jennings County fell just short of a team title in its own sectional on Thursday, with Seymour outscoring the Panthers 122-119 for the win.
Zane Ortlieb led Jennings with wins in the shot put (47 feet, 9 inches) and discus (138-3). Gavin Hendrix won the 1,600 meters (4 minutes, 35.56 seconds), Lane Elsner took the 800 (2:06.10) and Elsner, Aiden Ernstes, Brenden Baker and Hendrix captured the 4×800 relay (8:35.06).
Hendrix also finished second in the 800 (2:08.39), Evan Sochacki took second in the pole vault (10-0) and Eli Wahlman was second in the 3,200 (10:19.01). Also advancing to Thursday’s Bloomington North Regional with third-place finishes were Cole Marksberry in the 110 hurdles (16.37), Baker in the 3,200 (10:26.57) and the Panthers 4×400 relay team (3:37.83).
Jennings scratched out of the regional in the 4×800 relay, and Hendrix scratched out in the 1,600. That allowed Ernstes, who had finished fourth in the 1,600 (4:35.56), to advance.
