Chambersburg’s baseball and softball squads are off to smoking hot starts to the season. One reason for the success of the Trojans has been the pitching.
Brady Truett is in the midst of a brilliant season on the mound for the Chambersburg baseball team, as the junior has pitched 16 innings without allowing a single earned run. He leads the area in wins (3) and among local leaders in strikeouts (18).
The Trojans’ softball team has gotten a masterful effort in the pitching circle from Issie Slimmer, who tops our leaderboards in both wins (6) and innings (37), and ranks second in ERA (1.14) and fourth in strikeouts (30).
At the plate, Fairfield’s Jacob Liller leads local baseball players in both average (.630) and RBI (19), while Greencastle-Antrim’s Kylie Kerns commands the softball lead in doubles (5) and also ranks among area leaders in batting average (.500), home runs (1), and runs (13).
The cream continues to rise in track and field, where we’ve identified six athletes who lead the area in multiple events.
On the girls side, South Hagerstown’s Trinity Savage established new area top marks in the 100 (12.44) and long jump (17-4.25), while Waynesboro’s Bre McIlquham leads in both the 100 hurdles (16.0) and 300 hurdles (48.29). Natalie Quinn, of Chambersburg, is the area’s top performer in the 800 (2:24.0) and 1,600 (5:24.04).
As for the boys, Greencastle’s Noah Parks is the area’s top runner in both the 800 (1:57:42) and 1,600 (4:29.21), while South Hagerstown’s Torin Sitter leads in the 200 (22.35) and 400 (49.94). No jumper is leaping farther than Chambersburg’s Okenie McLaughin, the top local performer in both the long jump (22-2) and triple jump (45-0).
Below is a sport-by-sport, category-by-category look at area stat leaders through April 12:
