Bloomington native, former Indiana University standout and 1976 Olympian Jennifer Brinegar has been named the new head swimming coach at Franklin College.
She succeeds Zach Rayce, who departed after two seasons to become the aquatic director and head coach at Indian Creek High School.
"Jennifer Brinegar is one of the most accomplished names in the history of Indiana swimming, and we are thrilled to welcome her to Franklin College," Griz athletic director Lance Marshall said in a press release Tuesday, Sept. 1. "Her championship pedigree, years of coaching success and her deep roots in this state's swimming community make her the ideal person to lead our program into its next chapter. Our student-athletes are going to learn from someone who has competed and coached at the highest level, and that's a tremendous opportunity for Griz athletics."
Brinegar attended Bloomington South High School before moving to Louisville, Kentucky to train and find more competition. Girls swimming was not offered as a competitive sport by the IHSAA in 1974-75.
She made the 1976 U.S. Olympic team as a 15-year-old and made the final in the women's 200-meter freestyle while also swimming in a preliminary heat for the gold-medal winning 400 free relay. She went on to win a pair of national championships in 1977, a gold medal in the 400 free relay at the 1978 World Aquatics Championships and a silver in the 800 free at the 1979 Pan American Games.

WEST LAFAYETTE — Kyle Holderfield's 34th birthday aged the Harrison football coach a decade.
But, alas, it was a joyous celebration by the end of a three-hour offensive showcase between Holderfield's Raiders and West Lafayette.
It wasn't until sophomore Easton Foley's leaping snag of an onside kick attempt that Holderfield could finally enjoy it, though. Foley's recovery with 50 seconds remaining clinched Harrison's 43-40 victory at Gordon Straley Field on Friday, Aug. 21.
"I felt 34 years old at the start of the game, and I feel like I might be 43 at the end of that one," Holderfield said. "That one was exhilarating."

OKOBOJI, Iowa (KCAU) - Last season was one to rembember for Okoboji football as the Pioneers secured the team's most wins in a single season since 2008, but the team is far from satisfied.
Okoboji rolled into mid-October with a 7-0 record, but tumbled in the team's final two games - including a double-digit loss at home to Unity Christian in the first round of the IHSAA 2A Playoffs.
Leading rusher and top returning receiver Asa Jacobsen is back to pace the Pioneers while quarterback Trey Vander Pol is back after throwing for over 1,400 yards and 14 touchdowns. Okoboji returns all but six carries from a year ago.
The Pioneers have turned the page on last season, but are motivated to go even further.
"We felt like we were on top of the world all season. In those those last two games of the season, they suck. But they definitely helped to prepare us for this year. They got us in that mental state that we talk about trying to push past that and get the kids going next year," Jacobsen said. We've got a lot of key pieces back and a lot of guys that are bought in. You can sense the buzz around the town coming into the football season and we're excited to go win some more games this year."

Bloomington South's seniors went out on a high note at the IHSAA boys golf state tournament at Prairie View Golf Course in Carmel on Wednesday, June 17.
Colton Watson, coming off a 1-under 71, fired a 75 to find a spot in the top 10, and Carson Gady had a career-best round at state of 73, as the Panthers settled for a tie for 11th after a second-round 314, four shots better than Round 1.

FARMLAND — For the first time in five years, the Golden Bears got to go swimming.
Monroe Central served as the host of an IHSAA boys golf sectional on Monday, June 8, welcoming Cowan, Delta, Jay County, Muncie Central, Randolph Southern, Union City, Union (Modoc), Wapahani, Wes-Del, Winchester Community and Yorktown to Hickory Hills Golf Club. After over six hours of play, the Golden Bears emerged as the sectional champions on their home course with a score of 317.
As is Monroe Central tradition, the team celebrated its first sectional championship since 2021 by jumping into the pond next to hole 3. For senior Cohen West, it was a moment he had waited for his whole high school career.
"It's awesome," West said. "Haven't been able to get it done the past couple of years, but I knew that this was going to be the year. Every day, we practice out here, so it's just nice to get out here, and I think we all had confidence in each other to go out and do it."
While West is the No. 1 player for the Golden Bears, it was junior Maddox Taylor at the No. 2 spot who took home low medalist honors. Taylor shot a 1-over-par 71, while West placed second with a 75, but Taylor was more thrilled that the team got it done for West's last match at Hickory Hills as a Golden Bear golfer.

INDIANAPOLIS — Even the most gifted high school athletes in the South Bend community battle with self-confidence.
Even state champions get in their own head.
Even people who are more athletic and can run faster than most people could ever dream of feel pressure.
Track and field, like any sport, is almost as much about the mental as it is the physical. That much was certainly true Friday, June 5, at the IHSAA girls track and field state finals at North Central High School.
South Bend Washington senior defending state champion Adriana Swanson may be one of the most accomplished athletes in her home city’s history, but not even she is not immune to pre-race jitters.

This future Army athlete has plenty of motivation to serve his country and compete for the Black Knights.
Adis Hamidovic, a senior at Bloomington North High School in Indiana, has committed to throw for the Army track and field team. He's determined to follow in the footsteps of his mom, Sara, who played multiple sports for Army in the early 2000s. He'll join a Army track program led by coach Mike Smith, who has been named Patriot League Men's Coach of the Year five times since coming to West Point in 2014.
Hamidovic is one of the best throwers in Indiana and could be set up for a big performance this weekend at the IHSAA track and field finals. He took first in the discus (185 feet, one inch) and third in the shot put (56 feet, 7.5 inches) at last week's regional meet. He enters Friday's finals ranked third in the discus and 11th in the shot put.
Sara is bursting with pride over the choice her son has made about his future.
At the same time, it's hard to keep from crying when she talks about exactly where his decision could lead him. She knows firsthand — and it scares the ***** out of her.

It's not the first time Connor Basye has answered the call.
Back in 2015, after his senior season with the Bloomington North basketball team was done, former Cougar head coach Andy Hodson called Basye at 11:30 the night before the Hoosier Basketball Coaches ****** ociation All-Star game was to be held at the Cougar Den. Hodson wondered if he'd like to fill a spot on a roster after another player couldn't make it.
"It was awesome," Basye said at the time. "Even better since we got the win."

Alan Hays wasn't the only state hopeful on the Bloomington North boys track team with plenty of hurdles in his way this season.
The Cougars were runner-ups last year and three-time indoor champs, and with most of the crew back, they're looking to grab the first outdoor state ******* le in school history. But things hadn't gone as planned, and until last week's regional, competing for the top spot was suddenly in doubt.
Bodies healed well enough among a few of North's star athletes, but the reason they could bide their time, especially when it came to the Cougars' three relays that all made it to state, was due to the depth and talent around them.

"I'm pretty impressed," North senior Caelan D'Onofrio said. "We've had so many guys step up. Our depth is insane. This is one of the strongest teams I've ever seen overall. We used to be just a heavy distance program, but we've seen everyone come along."

NEWBURGH — Lily Greenwell had zero clue on the location of the softball.
Her first instinct, and the correct one, was to sprint out of the batter's box on contact. Not even as Greenwell burned past second base did it occur that the ball was sitting 15 feet beyond the right field wall at Lockyear Field. It took seeing her teammates spill out of the dugout for everything to finally click.
That swing won the Class 4A regional championship.
