All they do is win, win, win, win. With an 86-46 victory over Garden Spot on the girl's side and a tentative 68-64 win on the boy's side, the Manheim Central track teams remain undefeated on the season.

While the Lady Barons can officially count their win as a win, the boys cannot. High winds kept the teams from contesting both the high jump and pole vault meaning the four-point gap between the teams could swing either way depending on how those events unfold.

As for the events that were contested, Manheim got two solo wins each from Landon McGallicher, Kahlen Watt, and Tyler Fahnestock. McGallicher did his work in the hurdles, taking both the 110H and the 300H while Fahnestock picked up his wins in the shot put and discus. Watt split his solo wins between the track (100m) and the field (javelin).

McGallicher and Watt added a 400m relay win with help from Larry Marley and Bode Sipel while Gage Redcay, Luke Redcay, Cam Evans, and Michael Greenwald took the 3200m relay to account for the final win.

The Lady Barons also skipped the high jump and pole vault but their domination on the track made it a non-point. Sarah Forry and Rachel Nolt fronted that track dominance with two solo and one relay win apiece. Nolt claimed the 100m and 200m while Forry did her work in the 800m and 1600m. Nolt added a 400m relay win with help from Milan Snell, Abigail Reed, and Malea Stoner while Forry helped take the 3200m relay along with Julianna Lindberg, Reagan Ibach and Emma Herman.

Manheim finished the meet with a win in the 1600m relay with Snell (400m) and Stoner (300H) tacking on final track wins.

Madison Knier led the way in the field, topping the long and triple jumps as well as the javelin. Laci Nelson (shot put) and Chloe Enck (discus) accounted for the final two wins.

SOFTBALL

The softball team responded to a two-game slide with a quick two game winning streak. The first of those came on April 14th when the Lady Barons slipped by Elizabethtown 6-5. Gabby Wettig picked up the win after covering all seven innings, scattering nine hits to go with five strikeouts. Brianna Mylin carried the offense with a two-hit, three-RBI game that included a two-run single in the second that put Manheim on top 3-2. Brynn Lehman drove in one run with help from an E-town error that got Central on the board in the second.

The Lady Barons made sure no seat edges were needed on the 19th, blowing by Pequea Valley 18-1 in five innings. Wettig was the star of the show, covering all five innings on the mound to get the win while rapping out four hits and three RBIs at the plate. Three of those four hits were doubles, with her second inning poke pushing two of the three runs across. Wettig the pitcher allowed just four hits and one run to go with nine strikeouts and one walk.

Riley Hostetter matched Wettig's four hits but finished with four RBIs thanks to a three-run double in the third coupled with a one run single in the second. Mikayla Martin and Mickey Lauver provided even more support with matching one-hit, two-RBI games.

TENNIS

Thanks to Mother Nature being on overdrive the boy's tennis team has seen the last portion of their 2022 regular season tossed around and rescheduled. That left just an April 13th battle with Cocalico on the slate over the last week with the Barons falling to the Eagles by a 7-0 final.

VOLLEYBALL

The boys' volleyball team suffered their third loss of the season on April 13th, falling to York Suburban by a 3-1 final. After dropping the opening two games 25-21 and 25-16, Central was able to stave off elimination with a 25-22 game three win but the Trojans ended the match with a 25-15 game four victory. Barend Oostdam posted seven blocks and six kills while Dylan Musser finished with 29 assists and four blocks. John Wenger added 12 digs and Josh Dipple eight kills.

Manheim bounced back on the 19th with a 3-0 romp over Garden Spot. Musser had 25 assists, four blocks and two aces to lead Central to the 25-11, 26-24 and 25-15 win. Dipple picked up 12 more kills and Wenger 12 more digs while Oostdam added eight blocks and three kills. Trent Groff chipped in with six kills and two aces.

BASEBALL

The baseball team's first and only loss of 2022 came on April 13th via a 1-0 final to Lancaster Catholic. The Barons wasted no time getting back to it with a 6-1 win over Section Two leader, Lampeter-Strasburg on the 14th. Nolan Book carried the big bat with help from Cayde Connelly and Brady Harbach, making life easy for Jared Murry to pick up the win.

Murray did not need much help, allowing just two hits and one sixth inning run to go with 11 strikeouts and two walks. Central did the bulk of their damage in the third, plating five of their six runs with both Book and Connelly driving in two runs. Harbach picked up the last RBI by getting the rally going with a run producing single.

Central needed just four innings to rout Pequea Valley on the 19th, posting a 15-0 shutout. Connelly was the beneficiary of all that offense, needing just 41 pitches over the four innings to pickup the no-hit victory. Book drove in three runs in the game with his sac fly in the fourth kicking in the 15-run rule and closing out the game. Collin Thompson had just one hit, but it was a three-run home run that came as part of Manheim's 12-run third inning. Ky Watson joined the one-hit, multi-RBI fun, driving in two with a third inning double that added to his second inning bases loaded walk, giving the sophomore three RBIs for the game.
