May 13—CORYDON — The Charlestown boys' track and field team captured its first Mid-Southern Conference title in 33 years Thursday night.

Led by Jake Ottersbach, the Pirates scored 96 points to win the nine-team MSC Championships at Corydon Central. Salem was second with 92 while Brownstown Central took third with 87. The host Panthers (84.5) and Austin (76) rounded out the top five. Silver Creek placed ninth with 20 points.

Ottersbach finished first in four events — the 110-meter hurdles (14.71 seconds), the 300 hurdles (41.42), the long jump (20-feet, 11 3/4-inches) and the high jump (6-2).
