A TOUGH OPENER ON THE WAY

It'll be a battle of the felines this Thursday when the Yorktown Tigers tangle with the 17th ranked Lawrence North Wildcats. Lawrence North ventured to Yorktown last season and emerged with a 113-70 victory.

Many of the Wildcats' top swimmers return for more this season. Junior Julie Ogden and seniors Christina Noens and Lauren Wine form the nucleus for LN. Ogden, who finished 6th in the 100-yard butterfly at the 2009 IHSAA State Meet, starts the season as Indiana's 3rd ranked swimmer in that event. Ogden's high school career best time is :55.82.

Noens captured 15th place at the '09 State Meet in the 100-yard backstroke, and begins this season ranked 10th in the state. Her high school career best time is :58.11.

Wine joined Ogden and Noens on three Lawrence North teams that scored points at '09 State (200-yard medley relay finished 11th, 200-yard freestyle relay finished 10th, and 400-yard freestyle relay was 14th). You can count on Ogden, Noens and Wine to put the YHS swimmers to the early season test in a few days.

Go Tigers!
