By Mike Deak It was a field heavy result for the West Noble boys track team as part of the East Noble Boys Track Sectional. Xy'Mire Barnes-Bridges claimed the Chargers' only title of the night, sailing 21-8 to win the long jump. Barnes-Bridges was just 1.5" short of tying the program record in his best attempt of the night. Dustin Richardson claimed a pair of runner-up finishes, beginning his journey back to the IHSAA State Finals in the high jump with a clearance of 6-4 and was also second in the 100-meter dash at 11.16. Jackson Christlieb competed in his first sectional as a freshman, and was impressive in taking third in the 400 (51.46) and Ethan Yates added a third in discus (145-1), the two also making the regional round with Richardson and Barnes-Bridges. West Noble may get a phone call with its 4x100 relay, which was fourth, as was Graysen Ruch in the mile, in what was a stacked and fast four laps around the track. Congrats to the Chargers, and good luck to everyone who advanced another week! Full results.. https://in.milesplit.com/meets/735013-ihsaa-sectional-8-boys-2026/results/1306094/formatted/
