Throwing their weight around: Area girls earn medals at state track finals

IU baseball strikes first in NCAA tournament, smoking bats cool off red-hot Southern Miss
Indiana baseball didn't look like a team that belonged on the bubble.

Helmer's glue: Retired IU track coach Ron, son Justin team up at Bloomington North
Every so often at practice, Ron Helmer will take a Bloomington North track athlete aside and impart some of the 54 years worth of wisdom he's accrued. It's easier this way. His voice is gravelly and a bit weaker these days after 11½ years of trying to keep cancer at bay, so addressing a large group is out of the question. But the eyes and brain are still as sharp as ever. And the athletes, from the team's stars to struggling freshmen, listen intently as he tells them what he sees and what they can do to improve.

At 1-8, Fever need to weather the storm until a schedule break
Indiana finished its gauntlet of seven games in 12 days last Sunday, but the Fever are still in the middle of their 11-game, 20-day stretch. To put it in other terms: they're playing 27% of their games this season in 20 days. While this front-loaded schedule gives the young Fever a lot of learning upfront and practice time around the end of the season, it's not ideal for an inexperienced team.
