Gaerke leads the Flyers (09/06/2008)

Collegiate Check-up

When Tiff Gaerke got into the starting lineup, she made the most of it.

After coming off the bench in the first two matches Aug. 29 and 30 for the Dayton University volleyball team at the ASU Sheraton Classic, Gaerke started and led the Flyers in kills against host Arizona State in its final match of the weekend.

Gaerke, a 2007 Fort Recovery High School graduate, racked up an impressive .385 attack percentage and hammered home 12 kills in Dayton's 25-18, 25-19, 28-26 loss to Arizona State. She also had one dig and three blocks.

The sophomore, who played in 13 matches last season and had 21 kills, totaled six kills, two digs and two blocks in the Flyers' opening victory over UNLV. She added seven kills in a loss to South Carolina before leading the way in Dayton's tournament finale.

Gaerke and her teammates are hosting the Dayton Flyer Invitational this weekend.

Jill Roughia

Jay County - 2005

Was part of the top effort for the Huntington University women's cross country team, which finished third out of four teams Aug. 29 at the Goshen College Hokum Karem.

Roughia, a senior, joined freshman Krystal McHenry in setting the pace for the Foresters. They teamed for a time of 39-minutes, 2 seconds and a fifth-place finish on the six-mile course.

She will be in action again today as the Foresters travel to the Hanover College Invitational.

Trisha Champ

Jay County - 2008

Saw her first collegiate action Monday and Tuesday as the IUPUI women's golf team placed 10th in the 14-team field at the Grand Valley State Laker Classic.

Champ, part of an all-freshman starting lineup for the Jaguars, shot an opening-round 85 at Meadows Golf Course. She followed it up with an 84 on the second day of the tournament for a 169 total.

Her next tournament will be Sept. 14 and 15 as IUPUI competes in the Western Illinois University Invitational.
