NEW YORK, NY — Plymouth Olympian Morgan Uceny will run in the 1500 meters today at the Adidas Grand Prix in New York City. TV coverage is to be live on NBC from 1 to 3 p.m. EST.
Having begun her training three months later than usual, Uceny is not expecting to win at today’s race but is instead hoping to hit a target time. After the race’s conclusion she will fly back to Louborough, England, where she now lives and trains before traveling to Rome to compete on June 6.
CULVER — With the rest of their team now out of the state tournament, Andria Shook and Marissa German are happy to carry the banner for Plymouth.
The Lady Pilgrims may have been eliminated from the team tennis tournament via a disappointing 3-2 decision to their repeat regional champion hosts at the Culver Girls Academy Regional championship Wednesday night, but Shook and German remained unbeaten in the tournament to stay alive in the IHSAA’s 23rd Annual Doubles Tournament.

TOPEKA — Bremen baseball coach Bo Hundt would rather get a big inning in the first. But hey, he’ll take the seventh if he has to.
The No. 10 Lions got six shutout innings from starter Jacob Bennitt, and they broke open a 3-0 game with five runs as Fremont rotated through a trio of pitchers in the top of the seventh in an 8-0 Class 2A Westview Sectional semifinal win over the Eagles in the nightcap in Topeka Thursday. Bremen now advances to face the host Warriors in the championship game Monday, slated for noon.
