    Grace Oglesby topped the record of an Olympic legend, then topped that twice more to win a state title.

    The North Oldham sophomore swam the 100 butterfly in 54.66 seconds Feb. 15 in the Region 2 championships, beating a 32-year-old region record set by 1984 Olympic gold medalist Mary T. Meagher.

    Oglesby shattered that time Feb. 28 in the state preliminaries,  swimming the 100 fly in 53.67 seconds.

    One day later she swam the 100 fly in a blistering 53.45 seconds to set a new state record and claim a championship.

    North Oldham made its deepest postseason run in school history in 2013, winning Region 8 and beating Central Hardin in the semi-state round before falling to Bowling Green in the state quarterfinals.

    The Mustangs featured several talented scorers but advanced through the postseason on the strength of its defense.

    Goalkeeper Seth Junion was named first team all-state, with defenders Sam Kelly and Ben Stinebruner named as honorable mentions.

    The anchor of that defense was another first-team selection, defensive midfielder Jad Vicich.

    LOUISVILLE – Rob Burton had two choices when he was named North Oldham’s boys basketball coach just weeks before the start of summer ball.

    NASCAR did Kentucky Speedway a favor when it announced its new points system during the last offseason.

    The sport’s governing body altered the Chase for the Sprint Cup format for 2014, putting in place a system that pretty much guarantees the winner of any of the first 26 races one of 16 spots in the playoff-like final 10 races. The remaining slots not filled by race winners are filled in order of the point standings.

    By Alison Lundergan Grimes, candidate for U.S. Senate

    Our military heroes make the ultimate sacrifice to preserve our freedom and we owe so much to every veteran who has worn our nation’s uniform.

    Like all Kentuckians, I am horrified by reports of deadly neglect of patients at hospitals operated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Although a full investigation is still in progress, it is apparent that at least several dozen former service personnel died while awaiting treatment at VA facilities.

    This situation is intolerable.
