Off I-65 around halfway between Indy and Chicago. Just north of the newest windmill farm that is going up.

I agree!
That's so awesome to hear a 1A school can qualify for state!
Good luck next weeek!

I am always a fan of the "little guy" or in this case girl so great job Tri-County. Have fun at the state meet.

As someone who has been a part of both sides of the equation (attended Warren Central high school which has over 4000 students and currently a coach at a school of 180) I also have become quite fond of the little guy.

Great work girls, you are an inspiration and give all us little guys hope.

I hate to be a downer (because I think this is an awesome story), but I'm shocked nobody has brought up the Chesterton issue in this...

[regionrunner21]

There was an inspiring article in the NWI Times this morning about Chesterton's front runner Melanie Buckmaster (unfortunately dq'd) She is in an inspiration to anyone who wants to fulfill their dreams no matter what disability they might have hindering them. Kudos to her and it was definitely a huge misfortune as to what happened... A really great read by Jim Peters of the Times.

(There is a picture on the website taken at the semi-state where she is unfortunately not wearing the timing chip.)

Talked about in another thread...
