Wawasee Wired For Regional
SYRACUSE - Excitement is in the air at the Wawasee High School track. Why? Maybe it's because the boys cross country team placed first in the sectional last week. Maybe it's because it is the team's first sectional title in school history. Or maybe it's because excitement is infectionus.These guys are just plain excited to be where they are. The Warrior runners are not excited because they are surprised to be where they are - they've earned their spot at the top of the heap. With honors including an NLC title and a 15-1 record, the Warrior cross country team has worked hard to get where it is. "This is a hard-working team," said senior Curtis Shoemaker."We're also a close-knit team." Wawasee's boys cross country team does not just run together, they spend much of their free time together - by choice, not because they are forced to.
Sheriff's Son Seeks To Uphold Tradition
Aaron Rovenstine is proud of his father's legacy, but has his own plans if elected to replace him as sheriff of Kosciusko County. The son of Al Rovenstine became the fourth person to officially announce intentions to run for sheriff. At age 38, Rovenstine is the youngest of the four candidates to declare their intentions, but he has a unique corner on experience and familiarity with the department. As early as 10 years of age, Rovenstine recalls, his father would drop him off at Center Lake Park for little league practice and he would then walk over to the sheriff's department afterward to get a ride home. "I just hung around there and they put me to work" doing odd jobs, he said."I spent a lot of time down there." The Atwood native graduated from Ball State University with a degree in criminal justice in 1982 and worked for five years with the Milford Police Department before joining the sheriff's department in 1989.
