“Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” September 20, 2020

0
“Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” was created because we have a couple of commenters that post on a daily basis either in our “IS IT TRUE” or “Readers Forum” columns concerning National or International issues.
The majority of our “IS IT TRUE” columns are about local or state issues, so we have decided to give our more opinionated readers exclusive access to our newly created “LEFT JAB and Middle Jab and RIGHT JAB”  column. They now have this post to exclusively discuss national or world issues that they feel passionate about.
We shall be posting the “LEFT JAB” AND “MIDDLE JAB” AND “RIGHT JAB” several times a week.  Oh, “LEFT JAB” is a liberal view, “MIDDLE JAB” is the libertarian view and the “RIGHT JAB is representative of the more conservative views. Also, any reader who would like to react to the written comments in this column is free to do so8

USI Cross Country opens 2020 season with GLVC Triangular

0

University of Southern Indiana Men’s and Women’s Cross Country returns to action, kicking off their 2020 campaigns Friday September 25 when the Greyhounds of UIndy will host the GLVC Triangular.

The Lewis Flyers are the third and final team at the meet vying for early season success.

USI’s men are led by junior Titus Winders the NCAA II All-American, reigning Midwest Region and GLVC Runner of the Year in 2019. Seniors Wyat Harmon and Gavin Prior look to complement Winders as they finished third and fourth respectively for the Screaming Eagles at the 2019 NCAA II National Championships. One of Harmon’s last events of the year happened to be an Indoor GLVC title in the 5,000 meters, so he hopes to harness that championship mindset once again. Last, senior Grady Wilkinson returns having been a member of the 2019 NCAA II National Championship team after an impressive 29th overall finish at the Midwest Regionals.

USI’s women will be headed by senior Jennifer Comastri, the 2019-20 NCAA II All-American, also receiving All-Midwest Region and All-GLVC recognition for her efforts. Alongside Comastri, senior Doriane Langlois figures to pace close behind as she finished third for the Eagles at the NCAA II National Championships as well as being named All-GLVC.

USI Cross Country Notes:

Men’s Conference Dominance: USI has been long respected and regarded as a powerhouse in Division II cross country as they seek their 16th consecutive title, the 17th in the last 18 years.

Women’s Conference Dominance: USI has won ten of the last 12 conference team titles.

Others To Watch: Men- junior Noah Hufnagel transferred late in the Summer from Indiana State where he was the Sycamores’ top finisher at the Missouri Valley Conference Championship, finishing 23rd overall. Sophomore transfer Braden Nicholson was the top freshman in the country in NCAA III last indoor season in both the three and five. Freshman Silas Winders was a Foot Locker Cross Country national finalist and Tennessee state cross country champion. His high school personal bests of 8:57 (3200 meters) and 14:29 (5k Cross Country) ranked among the best in the country.

Women- sophomore McKenna Cavanaugh returns, having received All-GLVC honors and crossing line fifth for the Eagles at the National Championships last season.

Runs In The Family: Between the men and the women’s teams there is a trio of siblings. On the men’s side, it is junior Titus Winders and his younger brother freshman Silas Winders along with twin freshmen Luke Heinemann and David Heinemann. For the women, it is senior Jennifer Comastri and younger sister freshman Audrey Comastri.

Hillyard Quote: “We’re excited and grateful to finally get an opportunity to return to competition.  We expect there to be some cobwebs and rust early, but I am very optimistic about this group. We have a great mix of veteran leadership and very talented newcomers.  I’m looking forward to seeing this group continue to develop as a team.”

Vaughan, Burton Receive 2020 McGary Jones Visionary & Humanitarian Award

0

Mayor Lloyd Winnecke proclaimed Lisa Vaughan and Alex Burton as recipients of the 2020 McGary Jones Visionary & Humanitarian Award.

Burton and Vaughan created Feed Evansville, an initiative that focuses on providing food and meals to those in need.

“At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Feed Evansville identified a gap in our community’s food security,” said Mayor Winnecke. “Lisa and Alex truly embody the spirit of the award’s namesakes. They created and executed a strong community vision, while simultaneously supporting all of Evansville’s citizens in the most humanitarian manner.”

The award is announced every year at United Way of Southwest Indiana’s Day of Caring event. However due to COVID-19 restrictions, the announcement was made virtually on Friday during United Way’s Day of Sharing Facebook event.

“I’m so grateful and honored to receive this award,” said Vaughan. “This award belongs to our volunteers and community partners. Feed Evansville would not exist without them. Together we will continue to work for our city.”

“I’m deeply honored to accept this award,” said Burton. “We will continue to work with our partners to meet the needs of our community as it relates to accessing food.”

The award, named for both the City of Evansville’s founder, Hugh McGary, Jr. and retired bank executive Bob Jones, was established to honor special citizens who offer distinguished service for the advancement of the city and region.

Jones was the first recipient of the award in 2019
