Dogs sink in season openers Coach Dave Wishart said that the cold temperatures meant the Yellow Springs swimmers only practiced three times before their first competition against Clinton County on June 17. “Still,” he said, “whenever we score over 150 points against powerhouse Clinton County, we’re doing well.” Sam Lovering and Kelby Dierking both placed first in each of their three individual events.

Peters places 4th in racewalk at Nationals meet Peters, who will be a sophomore at Yellow Springs High School this fall, finished in 56:16:28, three minutes and 15 seconds better than her 11th-place finish last year. Christine Taeliaferri, a sophomore at the University of Wisconsin, won the event in 55:15.49. Peters and Taeliaferri shared the lead with runner-up and pre-race favorite Maria Michta during the first third of the race. The USA Nationals is the selection competition to determine the composition of the American track team that will compete internationally. Peters, who at 15 was the youngest competitor in the field, just missed earning a spot on the Pan American Junior squad (19 and younger), which will face Canada in a dual meet later this summer. Peters is currently en route to the Olympic Training Center in San Diego. She was one of three high school girls nationwide invited to participate in a weeklong training camp with the Olympic team coaches.
Major League baseball report But, on Wednesday, June 18, the sun came out, the Village parks department got the field graded and lined, and it was time to play baseball again.
