CHURUBUSCO – The Turtletown Classic is one of the best track and field competitions for girls in the area.

On Saturday, two teams from the region ensured that the tag team championships of this prestigious event remained in the region.

East Noble won the large school division (gold), while host Churubusco won the small school division (black).

After weeks of rain and cold, spring weather finally made its way to northeast Indiana on Saturday, with temperatures in the upper 70s and abundant sunshine all day.

For East Noble coach Cody Wait, it was the kind of team effort he loves to see, with many athletes contributing.

“It was nice to finally have good weather to run,” Wait said. “We’ve been telling the girls all week it’s going to be different running in the 70s after running in the 50s for a few weeks.”

A number of early-season PRs had the Knight coach smiling on Saturday.

“The girls just tore it up today,” Wait said.

The Knights’ best efforts on Saturday came from Aleigha Hudson and Payton Quake in the high jump. Hudson won the event (5-0), while Quake finished eighth (4-8).

East Noble also secured a victory in the 400m relay from its quartet of Danyelle Jordan, Hudson, Hope Fleck and Emma Forker (51.50). Addison Lindsey won the 3200 meter race (11:17.03).

Forker also won the long jump (16-91/4).

The Knights had 91 points to win the tag team title. Among other teams from the region competing in the Gold Division in Churubusco on Saturday, Angola finished fourth with 64 points; Columbia City sixth at 56.5; Garrett seventh with 53.5; West Noble eighth with 46; DeKalb ninth with 39; and Lakeland 12th with 14.

Garrett’s Nataley Armstrong won the competition’s MVP award in the Gold Division. Armstrong finished first in the 200 meters and 400 meters; second in the 100 meters; and third in the long jump. His efforts in the 100 and 200 were new school records.

Among other area schools competing in the gold division, DeKalb’s Lydia Bennett won the 1,600-meter race (5:22.04) and Lakeland’s Emma Schiffli won the pole vault (9-6) .

Angola coach Troy Smith was happy with what he saw from his team, especially the team’s fourth place finish.

In the black division, Churubusco won easily with 117 points. Among other Black Division teams in the region, Eastside finished fourth with 62.5 points; Westview fifth with 54; Whitko sixth with 52.5; Central Noble seventh with 48; Fremont eighth with 33; and Prairie Heights ninth with 29.

The Eagles got a game-winning effort from Isabella Zook in multiple events, in the 100-meter hurdles (4:00 p.m.).

Churubusco’s 400-meter relay team of Brelle Shearer, Alyssa Eby, Zuk and Bree Hosted won this event (52.13). Bree Fulkerson won the disc (121-01). Shearer also placed first in the pole vault (10-0).

For Churubusco coach Zack Dock, Saturday’s result is another illustration of how stressful he is for his men’s and women’s teams.

“Team depth wins championships,” Dock said. “It was a good day for us. But as great as it sounds, we can’t rest on today’s result.

Among other area schools competing in the Black Division, Central Noble’s Ella Zolman won the 200-meter sprint (26.35). Eastside’s Brittney Geiger won the 300 hurdles (48.88). Her teammate Lilyan Kreischer won the 400 (1:02.70).

Morgan Gannon of Fremont won the 3,200 meter race (12:53.78). Eastside’s 1,600 meter relay unit of Geiger, Allison Hoffelder, Sydnee Kessler and Kreischer won this event (4:27.34).
