Two more Vandalia High School track records fell on Tuesday, one on the boys side and another on the girls side, at a meet in Gillespie with Hillsboro and Nokomis also in attendance. Junior sprinter/jumper Kohnor Depew broke his second school record in just a matter of a week, this time surpassing the 100m record with a time of 11.27 seconds. That broke the previous mark of 11.44 seconds that was set nearly 40 years ago and then tied twice since then by Matt Roberts (1986), Mark Oertwig (1989) and Case Goldsmith (2021). On the girls side, senior sprinter Sophie Bowers broke the decade old 100m mark with a 12.70 performance. That broke the previous record of 12.74 seconds that had been set by Emma Meyer in 2015. In team scoring, the Lady Vandals took first as a team with 100 points, 35 points ahead of second place Hillsboro. For the boys, they placed second as a team with 87 points, 12 points behind first place Hillsboro with 99 points.
