Chambersburg 16, Altoona 0: The Trojans struck for 10 runs in the top of the first inning, did not allow an Altoona baserunner and coasted to a three-inning Mid Penn Commonwealth win over the Mountain Lions on Tuesday afternoon in Altoona.
Kylee Miller (2 innings) and Saleen Null (1) combined to pitch a perfect game, with Miller striking out 3 and Null 2.
“Ky seems to be getting her velocity up to where she needs to be, and Null looked very sharp,” Chambersburg coach Chris Skultety said.
The Trojans (3-1, 3-1 MPC) racked up 13 hits. Karley Skultety drove in 6 runs on 2 hits, which included a homer. Sam Paetow went 3-for-4 with 3 RBIs and cracked a home run. Skultety’s blast was a 3-run shot and Paetow followed with hers in the next at-bat.
Bree Paetow was 2-for-4 with a double and 3 RBIs, and Addison Gsell belted a double. Hailey Frankhouser, Carly Benedict, Null and Lauren Allison also knocked in runs.
Coach Skultety said, “The top of the order continues to get it done, and I thought Lauren Allison did a great job of turning the order over from the No. 9 hole.”

GIRLS TRACK & FIELD
Chambersburg 115, Carlisle 35: The Trojans won 14 of the 18 events to dominate the Thundering Herd in a Mid Penn Commonwealth meet at Trojan Stadium on Tuesday afternoon.
Chambersburg (3-0, 3-0 MPC) came up with four double winners — Jahnaya Wimberley in the long jump (17-1.5) and triple jump (35-7); Ashley Gunkelman in the javelin (108-1) and shot put (34-3); Yosmary Cabrera Reyes in the hurdles (16.8 in the 100, 48.6 in the 300) and Natalia Holmes in the 100 (12.3) and 200 (26.8).
“Jahnaya had a career day in the long and triple jumps and our jump squad is becoming a huge strength for our team,” Chambersburg coach Chris Monheim said. “Gunkelman continues to impress in the throws and is showing great consistency. (Camryn) Kiser had a very nice time in the 1600 (5:09.2) and did it completely on her own.”
Also taking first places were Olivia Shank in the discus (93-9), Kate Etter in the high jump (4-10) and Cayce Elbin in the pole vault (9-0). The 4 x 100 team of Cabrera Reyes, Holmes, Wimberley and Lashae Hang won in 50.8, and the 4 x 400 team of Addison Zimmerman, Lola Cross, Jayla Womack and Caitlyn Elbin won in 4:28.1.
Monheim said, “Our freshmen group continues to impress me – we had ninth graders all over the score sheet. Jaxin Frazer was second in the 200 (27.8) and did it out of the slow heat.”
BOYS TRACK & FIELD
Chambersburg 114, Carlisle 36: A 54-9 advantage in field events went a big way to help the Trojans clobber the Thundering Herd in a Mid Penn Commonwealth meet at Trojan Stadium on Tuesday afternoon.
J.J. Kelly, as has become the norm, captured all three jump events, taking the high jump at 6-4, the long jump at 23-0 (a school record) and the triple jump at 46-6.5.
“J.J. wasn’t supposed to compete today, so he endured a hard training session yesterday and still had some pop in his first event,” Trojan coach Bob Walker said.
The other winners in the field for Chambersburg (3-0, 3-0 MPC) were Isaiah Sleighter in the discus (155-0), Jude Grillo in the javelin (148-2), Daniel Pisle in the pole vault (10-6) and Peter Mertz in the shot put (48-0).
Walker said, “Our throwers continue to dominate. Isaiah opened with a monster throw in the discus and Jude is showing no ill effects from a knee injury from football.”
On the track, Antonio Harrison II captured the 100 in 11.0, the 200 in 23.0 and anchored the 4 x 100 relay to a win in 44.5. Also in that group were Iman Watson, Tanner Meyers and Andy Jean.
Other track winners included Jermere Jones (110 hurdle, 15.1), Addison Bisbal (400, 52.7), C.J. Miotla (300 hurdles, 44.8) and the 4 x 400 relay (3:45.5) team of Jones, Gabe Putt, Miotla and Daniel Casagrandi.
“I’m really happy C.J. decided to try hurdles thus year,” Walker said. “He won the 300 and was second in the 110. Jones looked sharp in the 110 hurdles and Antonio continues to give the team firsts in the 100 and 200. Addison, Daniel and Gabe all had personal bests in the 400.”
BOYS LACROSSE
State College 17, Chambersburg 4: The Trojans ran into a strong Little Lion attack and succumbed in a Mid Penn Conference game Tuesday evening on the road.
“They have really athletic attackmen,” Chambersburg coach Joey Wilmot said. “Their attack had 11 goals and 8 assists.”
For the Trojans (4-3, 1-1 MPC), Sam Kunkleman scored 2 goals, Logan Mulkey had a goal and an assist, Ryan Cosey found the net once and Riley Harmon had an assist.
Wilmot said, “They were much more athletic than us. When you play a team more athletic, you have to have more effort than them. And we did not bring the kind of effort we needed to play with them, plus we didn’t follow the game plan at all.”
