Sullivan softball was slated for a busy schedule last week. The weather had other ideas though as the first three games of the week were called off. The girls were able to get in a Friday game at home before taking to the road the following day.

With somewhat clear skies on Friday, Sullivan welcomed the Wooden Shoes of Teutopolis. Harmony Ray, Emerson Riley, and Taylar Mercer were the only Sullivan batters to get hits during the game. Teutopolis pitcher Alyssa Tipton gave up those three hits as she would go on to throw the complete game giving up zero runs and striking out eight Sullivan batters. Read More

The boys and girls track teams were well rested after their mid-week contest in Shelbyville was canceled. They utilized the extra rest and training at the annual ALAH Invitational.

Nineteen teams arrived in Arthur last Saturday for a seven hour track meet. Sullivan would score in 16 of 17 events, starting with Dirk Lane earning points with a fifth place finish in shot put while Lucas Floyd threw discus for seventh place. Sullivan went one, two in long jump with Deaiden Arnold jumping to first and Aian Fryman just .04m behind him. Kyle Corkill and Christian Ozier went back-to-back in the triple jump. Corkill jumped to third place with a 12.45m leap. Ozier landed in fourth with his 12.30m jump. Brett Bushue found second place in the high jump, clearing 1.77m. Johnathan Iacobazzi cleared 1.67m, putting him in seventh and earning a point for the team. Read More

Four teams traveled to Sullivan last Tuesday (3/19) to kick off the outdoor track season for girls’ track. Despite several high placed finishes, the Lady Redskins couldn’t keep up with the Wooden Shoes of Teutopolis. 

Veteran coach Kali Taylor believes though that this will be a fun year in which underclassmen serve as the majority on a team that features just one senior. “I’m very excited to see what this young group is going to accomplish as we begin the season.” 

Coach Taylor says this could be her most talented group she’s seen across the board. “I’ve waited a long time to have enough athletes to fill every event, and it’s an exciting opportunity for these kids to be a part of the success that we have had in girls track over the last several years.” And they did have athletes in nearly every event but pole vault. Not only that, several found themselves within the top 10 and routinely in the top five. Freshman Julia Moody was just barely edged out from first place in the 1600m by an ALAH runner. The time difference between first place and Moody’s second place was just under three seconds. Read More

Teams from Arthur, Arcola, Teutopolis, and Villa Grove came to Sullivan last Tuesday (3/19) only to be served up on a platter and devoured by a strong Sullivan team. The second place team was behind first place Sullivan by almost 150 points.

Davis Diepholz and Landon Jesse finished second and third in the 3200m to start the meet off. Sullivan placed first in the next event, the 4x800m. This would be one of many first places the team would have. That relay team consisted of Hayden Moody, Owen Hussong, Easton England, and Johnathan Iacobazzi. The 4x100m relay of Kaden Guest, Mason Booker, Aian Fryman, and Kyle Corkill ran next and secured yet another first place.  Read More

The indoor track is half the size of the outdoor track, but that doesn’t mean the competition is any less. The Sullivan Redskins got their track and field season underway with two indoor meets over the last few weeks. 

The girls started first with their indoor meet in Mt. Zion on Saturday, February 24. The team went up against runners from 16 other teams, many of which compete in classes 2A and 3A (Sullivan competes in 1A for track). Still, the athletes had an impressive turnout for their first meet of the season. Read More
