Edwardsburg opened its track season Tuesday with the girls team picking up a pair of wins against Paw Paw, 91-65, and Bangor, 102-57. The boys beat Paw Paw, 83-73, and fell to Bangor, 102-54.

The girls were led by triple winners Aubrey Ritchey (1,600-6:05.70, 1,600 relay-4:39.90, 800-2:39.61) and Brittany Bowman (1,600 relay-4:39.90, 400-1:08.10, 3,200 relay-11:32.59).

Double winners were Cameron Cleveland (3,200-14:36.99, 3,200 relay-11:32.59), Taylor Hepler (100 hurdles-19.78, 800 relay-1:57.97) and Gabby Golba (1,600 relay-4:39.90, 800 relay-1:57.97).

“Coaching in my first year I wasn’t sure what we had,” said Edwardsburg girls track coach Kevin Bartz. “We hadn’t run anything in full distances or full speed yet. I was impressed with Aubrey (Ritchey). She’s a very seasoned veteran. We also had some young girls that did a great job. We can put some pieces together finally now that we have some official times. I thought the girls did an outstanding job.”

Leading the Edwardsburg boys were double winners Jon Albrecht (400-57.76, 1,600 relay-4:02.29) and Kyle Shrider (800 relay-1:40.05, long jump-19-1).
