by the number of individuals o D ay who are affected by domestic violence. In 2018 alone, Prevail helped more than 4,000 clients in Hamilton County. (Nearly 80 percent of clients are women and children.) Domestic violence

The Millers made history Tuesday night by winning their first-ever region- al championship. Noblesville had been keeping pace with defending champi- on Hamilton Southeastern and Carmel through the night, then pulled ahead once the results of the high jump and pole vault came in. The Millers had the most event wins of the night with four. But it was truly a team effort for Noblesville, as a happy first-year coach Jim Pearce pointed out. “We just did well all night,” said Pearce. “We’ve just been talking about staying relaxed the whole time and just being a team and doing things for the team. We had so many kids that scored small points in here. We had kids in sev- enth, sixth place scoring points. That’s what it takes and we’re really trying to Reporter photos by Kent Graham build that team part.” The Noblesville girls track and field team won its first-ever regional championship Tuesday at Lafayette Leading the way for Noblesville was Jefferson.
