Hamilton County once again boasted a number of excellent girls track and field teams this past spring.

County teams occupied four of the top-10 spots in the state finals standings including state runner-up Hamilton Southeastern. Fishers finished in a tie with Zionsville for eighth place, while Noblesville and Carmel tied for tenth.

With such a strong overall team result, it should come as no surprise that the Royals gobbled up this year’s batch of county awards.

The Times has named two of HSE’s leading ladies, junior sprinter Camille Christopher and junior hurdler Mia Mackenzie, as our 2017 Hamilton County Track and Field Co-Athletes of the Year.

Ask anyone about Noblesville baseball these days and one of the first words out of his or her mouth will be “2014.”

And rightfully so. The 2014 Millers became the greatest team in Noblesville history by winning the school’s first and only state championship.

But before the 2014 champs came along, longtime Miller fans would likely have told you about the wild ride of 2007.

NEW CASTLE – New Castle Fieldhouse, the largest high school gym in the country with a seating capacity of 9,325, was buzzing with spectators from 9 a.m. until nearly 7 p.m. on Saturday as 224 wrestlers competed in the IHSAA Semi-State Wrestling Tournament.

There is an old adage in stage and television that says you should never work with kids or animals. Both are unpredictable and they will also eventually do something so cute that it will upstage your performance, even if you are currently juggling sixteen flaming bowling pins while singing light opera as you perform elective surgery.
