BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Junior middle blocker Madi Sell finished out her first full season at Indiana by being named the June Female Scholar Student Athlete of the Month. The award is designed to honor student athletes at IU who embody strong academic and athletic performance.
 
Sell joined the IU program as a transfer from Missouri during the spring semester in 2024. She started 28 of 30 matches for the Hoosiers during the 2024 campaign and led the team with 94 blocks (0.92 per set). She added 119 kills (1.17 per set) as a veteran presence in the middle.
 
Known for her fiery passion on the court, Sell shined in the biggest moments. She provided seven kills and seven blocks against Penn State – the eventual National Champions. Against in-state rival Purdue, she had seven kills (zero errors) and three solo blocks.
 
The Ballwin, Missouri native has been equally impressive in the classroom. She had to retake a handful of classes due to transferring credits but took a proactive approach to ensure she met all requirements for her major. Sell aspires to be an Anesthesiologist Assistant and is set to graduate in the spring of 2026.
 
Sell is back home for the first weeks of summer but will return to campus with her fellow teammates in June. She is one of four returning starters on next year’s roster and helps to make up a four-person senior class for head coach Steve Aird and the Hoosiers.

Seattle Mariners Send Minor League Catcher Outright to Triple

The Seattle Mariners brought back a minor league catcher who’s been a feature in the team’s farm system for the parts of two seasons.

The Mariners sent catcher Blake Hunt to the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers outright on Sunday. Hunt was designated for assignment May 29 and cleared waivers. Seattle DFA’d Hunt after it selected the contract of right-handed reliever Casey Lawrence and optioned reliever Blas Castano to Tacoma.

The 26-year-old’s professional baseball career began in 2017 after the San Diego Padres selected him with the 69th pick in that year’s draft out of Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, Calif.

Hunt spent three years in the Padres farm system and was one of the players dealt to the Tampa Bay Rays in return for left-handed starting pitcher (and Seattle native) Blake Snell on Dec. 29, 2020. Hunt spent another three years in the Rays’ minor leagues before being the club traded him to the Mariners in return for fellow catcher Tatem Levins on Nov. 6, 2023.

Hunt played 24 games with the Rainiers before being traded to the Baltimore Orioles in return for reliever Mike Baumann and catcher Michael Perez on May 22, 2024. Baltimore designated him for assignment on Jan. 13 this year and traded him back to Seattle two days later in return for cash considerations.

Hunt is still yet to make his major league debut.

Hunt has played 25 games for Tacoma this season entering Sunday — 22 at catcher and three at designated hitter. He’s scored five runs and has hit eight doubles, a triple and two home runs with five RBIs. He’s slashed .231/.271/.407 with a .678 OPS.

Hunt has effectively been the Triple-A club’s backup catcher behind top 100 prospect Harry Ford.

Wolfpack sweep: Caldera boys and girls track and field teams win school’s first-ever state team titles

Published 10:00 pm Saturday, May 31, 2025

EUGENE – Both the boys and girls Class 5A state track and field titles are staying in Bend, but it is the new kids on the block who are bringing home the hardware this year.

The Caldera boys and girls both won the team titles after two days of competition at the state track and field championships at Hayward Field.

The two titles are the first team state championships in school history.

“This has been our goal since November,” said Caldera head coach Dirk Matthias. “I said to our coaches, ‘The truth of the matter is our goal is to win state, boys and girls.’ We have been projecting this.”

It has been a quick rise to the top of the track-and-field mountaintop for Caldera, which opened its doors in southeast Bend in 2021.

The Wolfpack girls – who ended Summit’s 5A title streak dating back to 2007 (the Storm competed in the 6A field from 2019-2022) – finished with 70 team points, ahead of South Albany’s 56, Crescent Valley’s 48 and Crater’s 47.

“It is a different feeling,” said Caldera’s Jaymi Dickinson, who anchored the winning 4×400-meter relay team (3 minutes, 53.62 seconds), took third in the 400 (56.61) and sixth in the 200 (25.48). “At practice you are looking around and it isn’t just a handful of people going to state, it’s a whole team.”

Sophomore James Heinly became Caldera’s first female track and field athlete to win a state title when she won the triple jump Saturday morning (36 feet, 8.5 inches). Dickinson, along with junior Ava Kailey and freshmen Zadie Boyd and Ayleen Buenrostro repeated as the 4×400 champions. Senior Sage Cramp scored big points with a second-place finish in the pole vault (11-9.25).

Caldera’s Maddie Carney finished third in both the 3,000 (9:55.21) and the 1,500 (4:35.2). And freshman Zadie Boyd rounded out the top-five finishers with a fourth-place finish in the 400 (57.70).

The boys finished with 80 team points, ahead of Corvallis’ 69, Crater’s 58 and Summit’s 41. The Wolfpack did not have an individual title, and instead used their depth in all events to win their first team state championship. Nine different athletes placed in the top five in at least one event.

Freshman Waylon Clarke was the high-point scorer with a second-place finish in the 100 (10.92), a fourth-place finish in the 200 (21.90) and was part of the fifth-place 4×100 relay team (43.16).

In the shot put, freshman Cooper Kanalos took second (49-10) and freshman Cooper Hanson took fifth (47-7). Senior Benjamin Sorenson placed third in the pole vault (14-5.5). Sophomore Justin Parsons took third in the long jump (21-7.25). Senior Kian Beaird took third in the javelin (176-8). The 4×100 relay team of Daniel Bradley, senior Cohen Montoya, Kaleb Lott and Clarke took fifth as did the 4×400 relay team of Ben Jackson, senior Dane Giessler, junior Mason Morical and Montoya (3:24.02).

Morical, who finished second in the 3,000 (8:20.42) and sixth in the 1,500 (3:54.72), said he thought the program would start winning titles decades into the future.

“I thought it was going to be possible in like 10, 20 years,” Morical said. “But winning it in our fourth year … I didn’t believe this. I’m so happy, all the hard work paid off. I’m so happy I get to celebrate this with my team.”

Giessler, who finished third in the 800 (1:53.77), saw it differently. He saw the titles coming years ago.

“I did think it was possible,” Giessler said. “We’ve been working at this for forever. I knew we had the potential in the future to go out and win it. We had some kids who were hurt but we came out here and performed. The scoreboard says it all.”

Also rising to the podium, 20-year-old Jordan Williams from Bristol, United Kingdom, claimed third place in Sunday’s final. Williams was joined in the Top Five by 28-year-old Monster Energy team rider Luca Shaw from Hendersonville, North Carolina, in fifth place with a finish time of 3:16.776. Shaw now holds fifth place in season rankings with 294 points.

The Elite Women Downhill final concluded with 35-year-old Camille Balanche from Le Locle, Switzerland, in fourth place. The Swiss team rider battled high winds in the upper segment of the track and treacherous conditions in the lower half to earn a finish time of 3:48.776. Balanche now ranks fifth in the 2025 season standings with 305 points.

From May 30 to June 1, the 2025 UCI Downhill Mountain Bike World Cup descended on the iconic trails of Loudenvielle-Peyragudes. In stop two of the season, the challenging and technical racetrack in the heart of the French Pyrenees mountains hosted the world elite of the sport. The action-filled weekend also stoked visitors with live concerts, mountain bike expositions, and fan activations in the event village.

In Sunday’s Elite Men Downhill final, Amaury Pierron dropped in as the number one qualifier and last rider on the course. Charging into the top section, Pierron managed to build a 0.7-second lead over the fastest rider by the third split of the race. But when the dust settled, the Frenchman concluded the track 1.5 seconds behind the winner with a time of 3:14.729 for a strong second-place finish.

“It was a crazy race this time around in Loudenvielle. We’ve always raced here in the wet and later in the season. This was dry and really fast. The average speeds were scary, as if there was no limit! Everyone was going really fast all weekend, and I’m just glad to have stayed on my bike in these conditions, get through to the final, and now the podium. So happy with this,” said Monster Energy’s Pierron.

On the strength of Sunday’s result, Pierron now commands first place in the 2025 UCI Downhill Mountain Bike World Cup season rankings with 440 points.

MOUNT VERNON — Chad Sivewright just completed one of the most decorated seasons a Mount Vernon High School varsity coach has ever enjoyed.

The Yellow Jackets’ boys volleyball coach hit a milestone early this spring by notching his 100th win as a head coach.

“It’s been a super special season,” Sivewright said. “There have been so many (great) things.”

Every year, all 28 sanctioned sports coaches and associations, as well as the four allied professional organizations, vote for one of their own to receive the Ohio High School Athletic Association Sportsmanship, Ethics and Integrity award.

This year that honoree was Chad Sivewright, who piloted his squad to a state runner-up finish after falling to Cincinnati McNicholas in three games on Saturday.

“The selection is made from both divisions, so it is pretty special,” Sivewright said. “I feel really honored to have received it and especially from coaches that I admire and look up to as well, so it is a super special award.”

He accepted the accolade after piloting his team to a state runner-up finish on Saturday at the Division II state finals. The Yellow Jackets finished a fascinating season with a 17-11 record that included a 10-game winning streak that ended in the state championship game.

From the 100-win plateau to the state finals and the OHSAA coaches’ honor, Sivewright said it was all a reflection of the players who helped build the program.

“(The 100th victory) was like the second or third game of the season, and then making it here to the championship … ,” Sivewright said. “They are just a great bunch of coachable players, it has been a super special season.”
