May 31, 2024

A three-sport athlete with 11 varsity letters in soccer, basketball and track & field, Addison Duncan loves sports and competition, and that spirit earned her one of the top honors for senior athletes in the area, the 2024 Female City Athlete of the Year.

Duncan was named to the All-City soccer team all four years of high school and was a three-time selection to the All-Circle City Conference team. She was a four-year state finalist in track, still competing on the 4×400 team and 4×100 team in this year’s state meet. Although she didn’t expect to play basketball, she ended up on two Class 3A Regional title teams as she focused on defense and rebounds for the team.

Her leadership and care for everyone on the team stand out on any sport she played.

She plans to attend Purdue, studying veterinarian medicine, but playing in club sports there.

Swimmer and Diver in the 2024 State Tourney

February 27, 2024

Two members of the BCHS Boys Swimming/Diving Team advanced to state competition in the 2024 Swimming/Diving IHSAA tourney.

Jack Steadham competed in the 50 and 100 Free at IUPUI during state competition.

Competing in the 50 and 100 free is no easy feat, especially in such a fiercely competitive environment. Making it back to the finals in the 50 free is a testament to Jack’s hard work and talent. With a time of 21.32, Jack secured 13th place in a field that was incredibly fast this year. He also competed in the 100 free and finished 17th with a time of 46.90. BCHS coaches and fans are immensely proud of his achievement and know he gave it his all out there.

Donovan McMahon finished 21st in the State Diving competition with a score of 173.65.

Making it to the state meet in diving in Indiana is a huge achievement in itself. The level of competition is incredibly high, and Donovan’s dedication and skill brought him so close to the final round. Just being part of that competition is a testament to his talent and commitment to the sport.

The coach, school and fans couldn’t be prouder of Jack and Donovan, and are grateful for the dedication and hard work they’ve shown throughout the season. They’ve represented the BCHS Swimming/Diving Program with honor and have set a high standard for the future. Let’s continue to build on this success and keep pushing ourselves to new heights!

Congratulations Trojans!
