Snouffer continues to raise the bar

0

When Delaware Christian’s Lyssi Snouffer nabbed runner-up honors in the high jump at last season’s Division III State Track and Field Championships, it was pretty clear she was headed for big things.

That was when she was a sophomore. Now, in the middle of her junior season, she’s officially arrived at those big things.

She cleared 5-10.5 during Wednesday’s meet at River Valley, breaking the all-time Division III mark of 5-10.25. She’s the No. 1-ranked girls high jumper in the state of Ohio — in all divisions — and is ranked in the top 15 nationally.

Snouffer helped the Eagles in other events Wednesday as well. She finished first in the long jump with an effort of 16-05.75, second in the 400 in 1:04.3 and second in the 200 with a time of 27.8 seconds.

Other DCS standouts included Erin Bauslaugh, who was second in the long jump (15-09); Abbi Maurer, who was fourth in the discus and 800; and Abby McKee, who finished the 1,600 with a personal and season-best time of 7:28.4.

In boys’ action, Ike Hedges sparked DCS with third-place finishes in the 100 (12.9 seconds) and 200 (25.6 seconds). Nathan Stewart was fourth in the long jump (15-04.75), second in the 100 (12.8 seconds) and fourth in the 200 and Temirlan Snedden finished second in the 1,600 (5:22.6) and third in the 800 (2:28.5).

Next up, Delaware Christian is slated to compete in the Vic Thompson Invitational Saturday in Johnstown.
