Culver Community sophomore Kayla Shaffer broke her school’s 100-meter dash record with an 11.1-second finish during a dual Northern State Conference meet at Triton Thursday.
Triton senior Chandler Slone shot a 78 at Mystic Hills to win the individual championship and lead the Trojans to their fifth straight team championship at the Marshall County Golf Tournament Saturday.
CULVER — When Triton senior Chandler Slone double bogeyed 17, he could feel the championship slipping away. But he recovered with a 15-foot putt for birdie on the 18th green at Mystic, earning the right to go out on top.
Slone was low medalist with a 78, and the Trojans swept the top three spots to win for the fifth straight time with a dominant 320 at the annual Marshall County Golf Tournament at Mystic Hills Saturday.

NAPPANEE — Plymouth and NorthWood entered Friday’s softball game in Nappanee both looking for their first win in conference play this season.
The Lady Pilgrims struck early and often to make sure they would be the ones leaving with that win, needing only five innings to down the Lady Panthers by an 11-0 count.
PLYMOUTH — The Plymouth bats found a way to win at the end and benefited from a good pitching performance by Jordan Scheetz once again in a 5-4 victory over the visiting NorthWood Panthers Friday night.
Scheetz rebounded from a shaky start to retire 16 straight Panthers in the victory, and the Pilgrims plated two runs in the bottom of the seventh to rally past their Northern Lakes Conference foes.
