Bullard finishes runner-up in sectional

Carroll girls tennis team edges Delphi 3-2.

Logansport senior Brittany Bullard placed runner-up in the sectional pole vault competition held at Kokomo Monday.

The event was held at Kokomo due to sectional-host Madison-Grant not having a pole vault station.

Bullard recorded a season-best vault of 10’3” to tie Western’s Nikki McCracken for the best mark of the sectional, but McCracken won due to having less misses on the night.

“I was happy about getting a PR on the season,” said Bullard, who entered as the two-time defending sectional champion. “Obviously I would have liked to have won it, but I’m happy I’m going into the regional with my best vault of the season.”

Bullard will compete in the pole vault competition at the Bremen Regional on Tuesday, May 20.

The Lady Kings won a Mid-Indiana Conference game on the road to improve to 11-10 and 3-3.

“We started really slow but in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings we really pounded the ball pretty good,” Cass coach Scott Rouch said. “We made a good adjustment to their pitcher.”

Rouch added he’s happy with how his squad is playing. In the last week the Kings have beaten Class 2A No. 1 Indianapolis Scecina and No. 2 Eastern.

“We’ve proved we can play with people,” Rouch said. “We’ve been playing a lot better lately. We’ve had no errors the last few games.”
