Four Lady Eagles All Conference
The Odin Lady Eagles softball team have been enjoying a good season due in part to four players above who have been recognized with All-Conference honors in the Egyptian Illini. Pictured L-R: Kelly Dagg-Second Team All Conference, Stephanie Hodge and Amanda Burleyson-Honorable Mention, and Mallorie Love-First Team All Conference. Love has struck out 216 batters in 120 innings pitched. She was also voted the MVP on the Midland Trail Conference compiling an ERA of 2.49 through 19 games pitched. The photo above was taken during the Egyptian Illini Conference Tournament. The Lady Eagles are 12-7 overall. They are 6-1 in the Midland Trail Conference and 1-2 in the Egyptian Illini Conference and finished in second place in the EI Conference Tournament. Odin is one of the few area teams that participate in two different athletic conferences.
Cross Runs Career Best Race
Caleb Cross appears to be peaking at the right time. The MVTHS junior ran a career best in the 1600 meter run at the Collinsville Invitational to finish third overall with a time of 4:34.4 which is 10 seconds faster than his best time this year and four seconds faster than his time in the Sectional last year. It comes at a time when the season winds down towards the conference meet next week. There were 22 teams that competed at Collinsville. The Rams finished 14th overall. Cahokia was the team champion. Other notable performances for Mt. Vernon included Campbell Walters taking fourth in the 3200 meter run, Chicken Stuckey was fifth in the long jump, and Chandler Kirsch was fifth in the high jump. Sean Wiegel made the finals in both the shot put and the discus but tweaked his back and bowed out to avoid injury. Photo courtesy of Brian Lee

The O'Fallon Panthers ran away with the Ram Relays scoring 239 points to lead the field. Other team scores include Salem 152, Mt Vernon 112, Marion 84, Centralia 72, and Carbondale 42.
Kirsch Clears Personal Best At 6'4"
Chandler Kirsch of Mt Vernon cleared the bar at 6'4" for a new personal best height in the high jump event during a rain-shortened track meet at Marion. Fellow teammate Sean Weigel set a personal best mark in the discus throw by tossing it 139' 4" in the same meet. Both competitors are Juniors on the Rams track team.
Althoff Prevails Over The Rams
Josh Sears of the Mt Vernon Rams leads off from first base as he carefully watches Kyle Witte of Belleville Althoff prepare to fire a pitch towards the plate during the sixth inning of their South-7 Conference baseball game at Brennan Klein Field. Sears would reach third base in the inning, but was stranded as the Rams fell to the Crusaders 4-1. Witte threw a 4-hitter for Althoff and struck out eleven Mount Vernon batters. The Rams are now 10-8 overall (4-2 in the conference) and they will battle Marion next week. Photo by Randy Olson
