The form will be available that evening or can be picked up in advance at the athlet- ic department, any school nurse's office or at www.ih- saa.org. The physical form will be kept on file at school with a copy of the exam and will be provided to any parent upon request. Students ob- taining a sports physical exam from their personal healthcare provider for the 2018 -19 school year must use the IHSA A form. For the IHSA A form to be val- id for the 2018 -19 school year, it cannot be compet- ed before April 1, 2018. The form must be signed by a personal healthcare provid- er. Other forms will not be accepted. A sports physical form must be on file in order for a student to participate in any sport during the 2018 - 19 school year and also to participate in summer workouts in 2018. This will be the only time sports physicals will be conducted at Pike Cen- tral Middle School or Pike Central High School for the 2018 -19 school year. Partic- ipation is not mandatory. It is offered to assist students and families that otherwise would pay a higher cost for a sports physical.

Patoka River NWR entering spring prescribed fire season The Patoka River Na- tional Wildlife Refuge (NWR) in Oakland City has entered its spring pre- scribed fire season. The spring prescribed fire sea- son typically runs between February and April 15. During this time frame, smoke may be visible above the Refuge. Prescribed burning on the refuge is conducted to improve wildlife habi - tat and reduce the accu- mulation of fuels that lead to severe wildfires. Pa- toka River NWR has his- torically treated between 500 and 700 acres annu- ally with prescribed fire. A prescribed fire during this time period is espe- cially productive for habi- tat management and brush control. Patoka River NWR staff have informed local offi- cials of the planned man- agement actions. Pre- scribed fire will only be conducted when condi- tions allow for safe implen- tation. Any questions con- cerning the prescribed fire season may be directed to Refuge manager Bill Mc- Coy or Fire Management Officer Brian Winters at 812-749 -3199.

Sub- mitted Photo Pictured left is the 2018 Pike Central Mid- dle School boys' swim- ming and diving team. They are, first row, left to right: Alex Edrington and Isaac Theising. Sec- ond row: Chris Nichol- son, Wyatt Luff, Max Burkhart, Draven Rea- dle, Michael Burkhart, Graham Mullins, Isaac Burdette, Cobey McKin- ney, Griffin Correll and Tyler Zimmerman. Sub- mitted Photo ed he liked it, so he started swimming age group swim- ming at Boonville," Bohnert said of Mullins. "The ex- tra yardage helped him a lot. He came in and he was ready to go." "He's swam solid for us all year long," Bohnert add- ed. "The medley relay, he always would give us a large lead or we were generally always in front, at the be- ginning, or right there. And the 200 freestyle, he was al- ways a solid swim for us. In the backstroke, he had a good time – probably not his best time, but he swam it well. He was a couple sec- onds off his best, but it was good enough nobody else was with him, so he swam a good race." Burdette, meanwhile, placed second in the 50 -yard breaststroke with a season-best time of 41.16 seconds, eclipsing his pre- vious season-best time of 42.46 seconds. Lechner was first with a time of 38.02, while Heritage Hills' Law- son Forler was third with a time of 41.54 seconds. "He came on all season," Bohnert said of Burdette. "The Heritage Hills' boy that he beat out in that race, he beat at Heritage Hills (on Thursday, March 8). It was really close. They were right there together and he beat him on the touch at the end. And he pretty much did this one, too. He was four-tenths of a second ahead of him this time, so a pretty close race." "The boy in front of them was still a little ways out, but I believe that boy's an eighth grader," Bohnert added. "We had two eighth graders on our team. Our depth won the meet, but we're really young." Burdette also placed fourth in the 100 -yard indi- vidual medley with a sea- son-best time of 1:25.25, eclipsing his previous sea- son-best time of 1:28.56. Sixth grader Wyatt Luff placed third in the 50 -yard backstroke with a time of 42.46 seconds and was fourth in diving with a five- dive score of 71.50 points. Readle placed fifth in the 100 -yard freestyle with a season-best time of 1:19.16, eclipsing his previous sea- son-best time of 1:19.18, and sixth in the 200 -yard freestyle with a season-best time of 2:59.97, eclipsing his previous season-best time of 3:03.95. "His 100 freestyle, he swam really well," Bohnert said. "I think he missed at least two walls on that, where his flip turns were a little early, and he still put up really good times for both of them." "I think he probably could have cut a little bit more time had he had that not happen," Bohnert add- ed. "But that's just part of learning." Edrington placed fifth in the 100 -yard individu- al medley with a time of 1:33.97 and seventh in the 50 -yard butterfly with a time of 45.78 seconds. Edrington also teamed up with Luff, Readle and seventh grader Michael Burkhart to place fourth in the 400 -yard freestyle relay with a season-best time of 5:23.24, eclipsing their pre- vious season-best time of 5:30.05. "Alex swam a 1:17 in his leg of the 400 -yard free- style relay," Bohnert noted. "That was his best time for the year." Placing sixth in an indi- vidual event for the Char- gers was Michael Burkhart in the 50 -yard butterfly with a time of 41.87 seconds. He also placed seventh in the 50 -yard freestyle with a time of 35.14 seconds. Sixth grader Cobey McK- inney placed eighth in the 200 -yard freestyle with a season-best time of 3:15.58, eclipsing his previous sea- son-best time of 3:21.96, and 10th in the 50 -yard breaststroke with a time of 54.14 seconds. Eighth grader Isaac The- ising placed 10th in the 50 -yard butterfly with a sea- son-best time of 1:26.86, eclipsing his previous sea- son-best time of 1:28.65. Theising also placed 15th in the 50 -yard freestyle with a season-best time of 54.30 seconds, eclipsing his pre- vious season-best time of 58.80 seconds. Sixth grader Griffin Correll placed 10th in the 200 -yard freestyle with a time of 3:50.34. He also was 15th in the 100 -yard free- style with a time of 1:50.06. In addition, sixth grader Max Burkhart placed 15th in the 50 -yard backstroke with a time of 1:03.65, and 18th in the 50 -yard free- style with a time of 59.47 seconds; and sixth grader Tyler Zimmerman placed 16th in the 100 -yard free- style with a time of 2:02.22. Despite having only one first-place finisher, Pike Central had the most swim- mers – 12 – place sixth or higher, two more than South Spencer's 10 and four more than Heritage Hills, Southridge and Tecumseh, which had eight each. "We knew we were not going to be first, but our depth was going to be what carried us through," Bohnert said. "And we swam solid races. Even the last relay, we cut seven sec- onds off of it. We were still in fourth, but it was enough. We did beat South Spencer in it, and they were the ones chasing us." PAC Continued from page 1 Pike Central Middle School seventh grad- er Isaac Burdette swims the breaststroke leg of the boys' 200-yard medley relay during the 2018 Pocket Athletic Conference Championship Meet at Southridge High School on Thursday, March 15. Burdette teamed up seventh grader Michael Burkhart and sixth graders Wyatt Luff and Gra- ham Mullins to place second with a season-best time of 2:31.69. Ed Cahill photo
