He dispatched all three of his 195 pound oppo- nents in the first round. He was one of three Pike Central wres- tlers to advance to the Bloom- ington South Regional. Jon Cannon at 185 placed third and John Thompson at 220 placed fourth to advance. Pike Central placed seventh in the 10 team sectional. It was won by Floyd Central with 257 points.

"We felt confident going in he was going to win. He wres- tled a kid he had already beat- en twice. So we felt pretty confi- dent, but it was a championship Boys' swim take seventh at PAC By Andy Heuring Pike Central's boys' swim team placed seventh in the expanded Pock- et Athletic Conference swim champi- onships on Saturday. The Chargers were led by Draven Readle, who placed fourth in the 500 free, with a time of 5:58.8. He cut 14 seconds off his personal best time this season and was just six seconds out of second place. Readle also placed seventh in the 200 free, with a time of 2:11.79. His time was the fifth fastest in the finals, but because he didn't place in the top six in the preliminaries, he could place no higher than seventh. Isaac Burdette had the other fourth place individual finish for the Chargers in the 100 breast, where he had a time of 1:11.9, which was just .25 seconds out of third place. Burdette's other in- dividual finish was an eighth place in the 50 freestyle in a time of 25.57. Readle and Burdette were also mem- bers of the 200 medley relay team, Cobey McKinney reaches for another stroke during the Pocket Athletic Conference Championships at Boonville last week.
