In the final part of our recognition of the top spring sports student-athletes in the area, we now present the All-Sentinel track teams.

We had five area athletes make state this spring. Rochester’s Kelsey Tyler and North Miami’s Faith White made the girls state meet, and Rochester’s Thomas Rohr and Tippecanoe Valley’s Dakota Parker and Jameson Baker made the boys meet.

Jaymi Hartzler is still always on the run.
The 2000 Rochester grad made the state finals three straight years in track in the 1,600 meters. She was also a star in the 800 meters. And in cross-country, she qualified for semistate four straight years.
Move ahead almost 20 years, and Hartzler, who is a first grade instructional assistant at Columbia Elementary School, is running around keeping track of her three children, all of whom play multiple sports. And she is also is pursuing her teaching license.

Our series recognizing the top spring sports athletes in the area continues with the top girls tennis players and boys golfers.
In girls tennis, Rochester finished fast after a slow start. Their 8-7 record included a season-ending loss to Culver Academy in the sectional final. Tippecanoe Valley fell to Warsaw, who went on to win their 18th consecutive sectional title.
In boys golf, Winamac won the Hoosier North boys golf title and finished second at the Logansport sectional to advance to regional. A young Rochester squad that featured two freshmen and a sophomore among its top three players finished third at the Logansport sectional and also advanced to regional.

Billie Jo Carlin will be hired as the new volleyball coach and Blair Zimmerman the new boys cross-country coach at Caston, pending school board approval at Wednesday’s meeting.

No Sentinel area baseball team produced a winning record or won a sectional this spring.
In fact, no Sentinel area baseball team has won a sectional since Rochester won a Class 3A sectional in 2014.
Still, there were moments of fleeting glory. North Miami defeated Northfield during the regular season before watching that Northfield team advance to the Class 1A semistate.

No Sentinel area softball teams won a sectional title this spring, the first time that’s happened since 2010.
That doesn’t mean the area lacked talent. Rather, some area teams ran into tough competition in the postseason.

CLEVELAND (AP) — LeBron James is leaving home for Hollywood and an iconic team.

The Los Angeles Lakers have a new superstar – L.A.-Bron.

New Tippecanoe Valley athletic director Gina Hierlmeier said it is a goal to have separate girls and boys soccer teams at the school.
Currently Valley has a coed team that competes in the Class 2A boys state tournament. Valley is in the same sectional with Fort Wayne Concordia, last year’s state runner-up.

Gina Hierlmeier is used to multi-tasking.
She coached volleyball and girls basketball at the same time when she worked at West Central. She coached the varsity and eighth grade girls basketball teams at the same time at Culver. She taught and coached girls basketball at Mishawaka Marian all while completing work on a master’s degree in educational leadership from Governors State University and getting an administrator’s license. And she was doing that all while raising her 3-year-old daughter Andie.
So perhaps the whirlwind job of being an athletic director is right up her alley. Hierlmeier was hired as the new athletic director at Tippecanoe Valley at a school board meeting in April. She replaces Duane Burkhart, who is retiring after 24 years on the job.

SOCCER
South Korea 2, Germany 0
KAZAN, Russia (AP) — Germany is out of the World Cup, the fourth defending champion in the last five tournaments to be eliminated in the group stage.
The four-time champions lost to South Korea 2-0 Wednesday, allowing a pair of injury-time goals while knowing a 1-0 victory would have been enough to advance because of the result in the other group match.
