STATE TRACK AND FIELD MEETS THIS WEEKEND IN BLOOMINGTON

Nine different individuals who won state championships last year and one from 2003 will be among the participants at this weekend’s IHSAA Track and Field State Finals in Bloomington.

 

Like last year, the finals will be contested at the Robert C. Haugh Track & Field Complex on the campus of Indiana University in Bloomington with the boys meet scheduled for Friday, June 3 and the girls event on Saturday, June 4.

 

In the boys meet, only two defending champs return from a year ago.

 

Franklin Central’s Donald Washington hopes to win his third consecutive blue ribbon medal in the long jump on Friday. He won with a leap of 23-2.25 as a sophomore and repeated last year with a 23-4.75. Only two others have won the event three times with Kokomo’s Frank Young in 1993-95 the most recent.

 

Also returning is junior Travvis White of Fort Wayne Northrop. White was one of four Bruins to win a state title last year for the defending team champs and his height of 6-8 earned him top honors in the high jump.

 

Portage, which placed fifth at last week’s Valparaiso Regional, tops all boys teams with 16 individuals.

 

The Northrop girls team, which claimed three events in the 2004 meet, will be going after its record sixth consecutive state championship in the sport. The Bruins, coached by Tom Knudson, have nine individuals entered this year. Warren Central, with 16 qualifiers in the meet, leads all teams.

 

Saturday’s field also will feature a record eight former state champions (not including relay team members) headlined by a Northrop runner Shauntel Elcock. With seven state championships and three team titles in her first three seasons, the senior will look to take her place among Indiana’s all-time best this weekend. She’ll be attempting to win her fourth consecutive crown in the 400 meters and third straight in the 200. Only Maicel Malone of North Central of Indianapolis (1984-87) has won four straight 400 titles and Elcock will look to join Malone, who also won four 100 meter titles, Tonya Sedwick of Jeffersonville (Long Jump, 1984-87) and Courtney Adams of Brebeuf Jesuit (1600 meters, 1993-96) as four-time winners in the same event.

 

Also looking for a third state championship this weekend is senior Aundrea Brown of Fort Wayne North Side and the Chesterton 3200 meter relay team. Brown won the long jump as a freshman in 2002 (19-7.5) and as a junior last year (19-0.25) and brings the best mark into this year’s meet at 18-10. Only two others – Sedwick and LaShanda Harper of Harding in 1994-96 – have won three long jump crowns during their career. The Chesterton distance team, which set state meet records each of the past two years, includes juniors Ali Bishel and Kelly Peller that won the event their first two years while classmate Sarah Kehe was part of last year’s winning combo. No school has won three consecutive 3200 relays in the event’s brief nine-year history.

 

Other defending champions in the individual events include: Homestead sophomore Katie Veith in the pole vault; Evansville Reitz senior Kayla Tucker in the high jump who wore a Evansville Harrison uniform a year ago; Roncalli senior Anna Weber in the shot put; Fort Wayne Northrop junior Tamara Adams in the 100 hurdles and; Muncie Central sophomore Vanneisha Ivy in the 300 hurdles. Lawrence Central senior Tori Allen, the 2003 pole vault champion, will also be looking for her second state crown in three seasons.

 

After two years of exhibition competition, the pole vault will become a fully scored event for the first time at this year’s girls meet.

GIRLS TENNIS

 

GIRLS TENNIS STATE FINALS SATURDAY

Two of the winningest programs in the state, one making its third appearance in four seasons and one other that returns to the finals for the first time since 1982 make up the final four teams that will compete in Saturday’s girls tennis state finals at North Central High School in Indianapolis.

 

At 10 a.m., Park Tudor (16-2) faces Zionsville (21-1) in one semifinal match and Evansville Memorial (17-1) takes on Culver Academies (18-1) in the other semifinal with the winners and losers to face each other for the state championship and third place honors in the 2 p.m. session.

 

Though in opposite brackets, Park Tudor and Evansville Memorial account for seven state championships.

 

Under the guidance of coach Dave Heffern, Park Tudor brings another talented group to this year’s finals, its fifth appearance overall and first since 2000. The Panthers’ strength appears to be in their singles lineup where Megan Martzolf, at No. 1, is unbeaten at 21-0 and No. 2 player Mary Beth Winingham is 20-0 this season. Not far off that mark is Courtney Rogers who is 14-1 in the No. 3 spot.

 

Park Tudor, state champs in 1998 and 2000, are 10-2 this season in dual matches falling twice to 2004 state champion North Central of Indianapolis in a three day-stretch by 3-2 and 4-1 counts to end the regular season. The Panthers avenged those losses last Saturday downing North Central, 3-2, in the semi-state championship match and also survived a 3-2 match against Center Grove in the morning semifinal.

 

Evansville Memorial, coached by Susan Springhetti, returns to the state finals for the second year in a row and will be looking for its sixth state championship (1991, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996). The Tigers finished fourth last year after losing to North Central in the state semis and to Munster in the consolation match.

 

Five of the seven players from last year’s team return for another shot at the championship with the only change occurring in the two doubles teams. Catherine Hofmann and Jessica Bello were 18-8 a year ago at No. 1 doubles. This season, Hofmann has teamed with Abby Greif for a 19-1 season record at No. 1, while Bello plays No. 2 with Reva Mehdiratta and has produced a 20-0 mark to this point.

 

Zionsville is making its third appearance at the state level in the last four years only missing out in 2004. The Eagles’ only blemish of the season came on the road and at the hands of the team’s upcoming opponent as Park Tudor handed Zionsville a 3-2 setback on April 30.

 

Pat Slama has been the coach in each of the school’s previous trips to state but hopes to get the Eagles to the championship round, a hurdle that tripped the previous Zionsville state teams. This year’s team features Mary Elizabeth Campbell at No. 2 singles who is 21-1 and the No. 2 doubles team of Margo Harrington and Vicky Nasteva at 13-0.

 

After a long drought, Culver Academies survived a pair of semi-state opponents last Saturday and returns to the finals for the first time since 1982, its only other appearance. That year, the Eagles fell to eventual champ North Central in the semifinal round. This year’s edition brings in an 18-1 dual record which includes a pair of 3-2 semi-state victories over Warsaw and Crown Point. Culver’s only loss came by a 4-1 score to Plymouth in late April though the Eagles avenged that loss with a 4-1 win of their own against the same team for the regional championship.

 

Coached by Jarin Jaffee, Culver Academies is buoyed by its three singles players that are a collective 62-1 this year. Lora Dushanova is 20-1 at No. 1, while Romina Clemente is 21-0 in the No. 2 spot and Avryl Klich is 21-0 at No. 3.

 

Also in play on Saturday at North Central High School are the regional rounds of the Individual Singles and Doubles State Tournaments. Singles players and doubles teams that win twice on Saturday will advance to the Individual State Finals on June 10-11 at North Central in Indianapolis. Pairings are listed below in bracket order.

NATIONAL SPEAKERS TO APPEAR AT STUDENT LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE

The Indiana High School Athletic Association is sponsoring the second annual Student Leadership Conference on June 25, 2005, at Carmel High School.  Member schools have been invited to send a team of student athletes plus one adult facilitator to the conference.  Student leaders will discuss creating positive traditions through citizenship and sportsmanship.  The curriculum will explore hazing and ways to prevent it in your school.  Finally, student athletes will create and record public service announcements for use during the 2005-06 school year.

 

Harvey Alston and Hank Nuwer will both serve as guest speakers during the conference.

 

As the key note speaker, Alston is a nationally-known speaker and author and will relay his expertise on the development of a good leader.  He will demonstrate how to become an effective leader, how to identify school challenges and ways to handle them, and how to work more effectively as members of a team.  He will discuss effective strategies, and ways to become a trailblazer. Alston has spoken literally to millions of people who have benefited not only from his knowledge, but also from his wisdom.

 

Nuwer will address the topic of hazing. This powerful program will ensure that no audience member will ever see hazing as quite the harmless activity many think it is. Whether discussing the pledge at Plattsburgh State who died after being made to swill water, or the sorority member who died when pledges kidnapped her on a pledge sneak, Nuwer speaks clearly of situations that his audience members -- athlete, Greek, or high school student -- can clearly visualize.  As an author, Nuwer has written more extensively about hazing than any other author.  His books include Broken Pledges (subject of an NBC-TV movie), Wrongs of Passage and High School Hazing: When Rites Become Wrongs.


Schools interested in sending a team of students to the conference should contact IHSAA Assistant Commissioner Sandy Searcy immediately at 317-846-6601 or at ssearcy@ihsaa.org
