Seann Gaynor has taken Christiansburg High School to a regional title in his first year on the school’s softball sidelines.
After the win, they will play on the highest stage for the first time in school history. This past week, Christiansburg downed Staunton River 5-1.
Pitcher Kadyn Camper threw six strikeouts and only walked one. The defense made the plays and had no errors on the night.
Offensive fire power came from leadoff hitter Kyrstin Lowe who had two hits and an RBI. Camper and Sophia each had a hit and two RBI’s. Tyleigh Dillard had two hits, and freshman Aubrey Davis had a hit on the night.
Meanwhile in Riner, where Gaynor teaches and his daughter plays for the Auburn Eagles, they too are regional champs. Both schools were scheduled to open the state quarter finals on Tuesday night.
Also, the Christiansburg High School boy’s tennis team brought home the region 3D team title, and the girls’ double team of Lucy Burningham and Nora Cross brought home a championship to the school.
