Pendleton
Heights led a clean sweep of the top three spots by Hoosier Heritage Conference
teams at its own sectional Tuesday evening. The Arabians edged Yorkttown by
five points 125-120 for the team title. Mt. Vernon, which contested for the
title most of the evening, finished third with 111 points. Of course, the night
was highlighted by the state record performance of Ellie McCardwell in the pole
vault. The Pendleton Heights junior soared 13’5” which is a national best this
year.
The three
HHC teams will meet up with conference rival Delta at the Ben Davis Regional.
The Eagles scored a team total of 93.2 points in finishing third at the Muncie
South Sectional. All of the league teams will need to step up their
performances in the next round. The host Giants are the #9 ranked team in
Indiana.
New

caliber competition. Those schools faced Warren central and Franklin Central in
the Shelbyville Sectional field. They posted very respectable performances. New
Palestine was fourth with 73.5 points while Shelbyville and Greenfield-Central
tied for fifth with 47 points.
