Men’s track and field to compete against Noblesville and Westfield on April 15

Berit Van Beynen, North Central Indiana Sand Volleyball Club club volleyball player and junior, competes in the Nike Mideast Qualifiers tournament on March 17. Van Beynen said, in the past, players have ignored rule changes like the double-touch rule, and that she thinks that will happen to this new rule as well. “There was another rule where they tried to make doubling with setting legal, but it sort of turned into, ‘Who cares this isnt how volleyball is supposed to be played,’ and it was boycotted, which I believe is going to happen with this rule too.

Freshman Aiden Dickinson plays in varsity game against Fishers on Jan. 27. Carmel won 54 to 46. When asked about his favorite part of the season, Dickinson said, I would say when we went on a stretch, we went 7-1, winning seven games in a row.

The CHS Wrestling has wrapped up the 2016-17 season with a record of 9-3, the same record they finished with last season. After a playoff run that was stunted by a 15th place finish in Regionals, the team sent two wrestlers to State at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

“The team was pretty unsettled after our first meet in North Montgomery,” freshman Brendan Mattingly said. “Within a week, we were back to our normal selves and working harder than ever.”

Mattingly was one of the pair who advanced to State, wrestling at the 106 weight class.

“We were great this year,” Mattingly said. “It was the first time we have won the MIC in ten years. I believe we will do well next year even if we lack in senior numbers. I hope for the best in our graduates and that they wrestle hard in college.”

Last season, the team placed 5th in the conference, yet finished 25th in the state. However this year, Carmel’s MIC victory did not translate to a better state performance, finishing 44th, tied with Westfield High School, Greenfield-Central High School, Plymouth High School and Wawasee High School.

“We didn’t expect to only have a few [wrestlers] in this year,” Head Coach Ed Pendoski said. “We’re still working and look to improve.”
