Cross country teams begin season Saturday

·

Most students use Saturday to sleep late after a stressful week of class and homework. For the IU men’s and women’s cross country teams, Saturday means getting up for an early-morning run at the Indiana Invitational, held on the IU cross country course. The women’s run starts at 9 a.m., with IUPUI, Ball State and Michigan all in attendance.

Expectations raised for No. 30-ranked women's golf this season

·

Success means increased expectations. After starting last season ranked 107th in the Golf Coaches Association of America preseason ranks, IU went out and won its first tournament on the way to making its first appearance in the national championship since 1998. The Hoosiers start this season ranked No. 30, but IU coach Clint Wallman is unfazed by the expectations.

My brother's keeper

·

Most freshmen are lucky to know a handful of familiar faces when they arrive on campus for their first semester in Bloomington. IU freshman goalkeeper Michael Munroe, one of the newest members of the IU men’s soccer team, lucked out and had a close friend – and sibling – waiting to show him around. That person was his older brother, senior goalkeeper Chris Munroe.

This weekend, IU will stay in the Hoosier state as they travel north to Valparaiso, Ind., to compete in the Valparaiso University Popcorn Classic. This will be the third tournament the Hoosiers have participated in so far this season, and the team will have one more next weekend before conference play begins. Senior right side Lauren Ditteon feels the previous tournaments have helped the team gel as a unit.

Participation in high school sports sets new record again

·

More than half of the nation’s high school students participated in sports last year, and for the first time, more than 3 million of them were girls. The National Federation of State High School Associations released the results of its annual participation survey on Wednesday, listing a record 7,342,910 high school athletes in the 2006-07 school year among its member associations in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. It’s the 18th straight year the number of participants has increased. “This is certainly another great report,” NFHS executive director Robert F. Kanaby said. “The girls participation figure is particularly exciting since this year is the 35th anniversary of Title IX.”

You hear that echo, Mr. Gordon?

Pssst. Eric Gordon. Yeah, you, Mr. North Central basketball star. Heard you came to Bloomington last weekend -- unofficially, of course. Heard you chatted with coach Kelvin Sampson and even grabbed a couple bites at Yogi's. Been thinking about trying on a pair of candy-striped pants?
