Today is the first day of Girls Swimming practice. Good luck to all girls swimmers and coaches this season!
After several trips west, tonight’s football road trip took me east to Middlebury to see my friends Ryan Bales and Evan Fras! Mishawaka vs Northridge at Interra Field for the sectional opener.

As a child, Taytum was diagnosed with a rare liver disease. Her life was saved because someone said “YES” to organ donation.
“Be a donor, because it saved my life and others.” Say YES to organ donation the next time you visit the BMV

Today’s adventure was to see former CHS athlete Catie Brenneman swim for Notre Dame! A cool bonus was seeing former NLC rival Julie Mishler of Wawasee in the lane next to her for Louisville. It was also fun to hang out with Angie, Grace, Hayden & Nicolle (not pictured).

The teamwork we first learn on the field makes us a better human off the field.
Recognizing our actions impact others.
Valuing the unique contribution of each teammate.
Remembering we don't win alone.
High school sports teach it all.

🎉 High school is about so much more than what happens in the classroom!
Activities give students a chance to explore their interests, find their voice, build confidence, and create connections that can last a lifetime.
Here’s to the experiences that help students discover where they belong, find what they love, and shine along the way! 🌟❤️

🏆 So much of high school sports and activities starts behind the scenes.
From organizing championships to supporting schools, providing resources and creating opportunities for students, high school athletic and activities associations help make the experience possible for millions of students across the country.
They’re working every day to make sure students have the opportunity to play, perform, compete and belong.
This #MadePossibleWeek, we’re celebrating the state associations that help make high school sports and activities possible — and the people behind them who keep students at the center of it all. 👏
Thank you for all you do! ❤️

The name on your shirt represents your school. Your community. You and your family.
How we carry ourselves at athletic events speaks volumes about who we are.
WHO DO WE WANT TO BE?
Always respect the game and #BenchBadBehavior. buff.ly/p12WNPI
