The Eagles’ women enter 2016 after claiming their fifth straight GLVC title a year ago and finishing 10th at the NCAA II Championships.
Junior Emily Roberts (Fredericktown, Ohio) returns to lead the Eagles after finishing fifth at the NCAA II Cross Country Championships last fall and second in the 10,000 meters at the NCAA II Outdoor Track & Field Championships in May. Roberts established herself as one of the top runners in the country last year by racking up three All-America honors and multiple All-Midwest Region awards.
USI is under the direction of 22-time GLVC Coach of the Year Mike Hillyard, who enters 20th season at the helm of the men’s and women’s cross country/track & field programs.

IS IT TRUE let today be the first day in which each and every one of us begin to show our Law Enforcement Officers respect and appreciation for an outstanding job they performed  on a daily bais by the overwhelming  majority?
IS IT TRUE some officers do go over the line and take actions that are totally unacceptable and break the law? Â …YOU BET IT IS TRUE!!! Â …Â these Officers must be weeded out, Â prosecuted and punished for their crimes against society and give a strong message to all, this behavior must stop and stop now?
IS IT TRUE our law enforcement officers strive every day  to keep our society a safe place to live, work and raise a family?  …our right to peacefully protest is a sacred and protected right?
IS IT TRUEÂ we urge every one that sees our law enforcement officers over the next several days to show a sign of support by honking your horn and giving them a thumbs up, Â thanking them for their efforts and helping in some way to let them know they are truly appreciated?

IS IT TRUE that County Commissioner Candidate Sean Selby still doesn’t have the GOP Data Center Access due to the refusal of local party Republican party Chairman Wayne Parke?  …we been told by reliable sources that Mr. Parke  alleges thats he is supporting Mr. Selby in the Vanderburgh County Commissioner race?  …if  our information is correct then we expect Mr. Parke to “fork over” the information in the GOP Data Center so Mr. Selby can begin to market his campaign?
IS IT TRUE its also time for local GOP Chairman Wayne Parke to stop meeting with people who supported Sean Selby for County Commissioner in the recent GOP party caucus because they feel that Mr. Parke is harrassing them for supporting Mr. Selby?
