Recently while surrounded by family, friends, and coaches, Charlestown senior Jake Ottersbach signed his national letter of intent to attend school and participate in track and field at Indiana State University in the fall of 2023.

Indiana State University is a is a public university in Terre Haute, Indiana. It was founded in 1865 and offers over 100 undergraduate majors and more than 75 graduate and professional programs. The athletics teams at Indiana State University are known as the Sycamores. They participate in the NCAA Division I and in the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC). Also the Sycamores offer in 13 varsity sports for the men and women of their university.

Ottersbach, who plays wide receiver on the football team and a forward on the basketball team for the Pirates, has shined as a tracklete for Charlestown. Last spring he repeated as the Bloomington Regional champion in the 110M high hurdles and advanced to compete in three events at the state track and field meet where he finished in 5th place in the 110M high hurdles and earned All-State honors. Ottersbach holds the school record in the 110 Hurdles with a time of 14.48. 

Ottersbach will major in aviation at ISU. When asked about his choice to attend school and participate in track and field with the Sycamores, he replied, “Choosing Indiana State University was the best option for me not only for athletics but also to continue my academic career. Indiana State’s track team has won numerous Missouri Valley Conference titles and had multiple athletes go to nationals. I am beyond excited to be a part of this team and contribute to their success. Without my Coaches and team supporting me along the way I don’t believe that I could be where I am today.”

Charlestown track and field coach David Daniel told said, “The CHS Pirate Track & Field staff and I are extremely proud of Jake and excited that he has earned this opportunity to continue his academic and athletic career at Indiana State University.  ISU is getting a well rounded and quality student athlete in Jake. He has always represented his family, school and community well. We wish him all the best and look forward to following his college career next fall.  What Jake has accomplished in two seasons is simply amazing (lost his freshman season due to covid shutdown). He is already a 2-time conference, sectional and regional champion in multiple events and an All-State performer with a 5th place finish in the 110HH this past spring.”

WPMQ, The Pirate Network congratulates Jake and wishes him a healthy and prosperous future as an Indiana State University Sycamore.

Demaria King has been a name synonymous with athletic success at Charlestown High School the past four years in both basketball and track and field.  Recently, the senior standout was joined by family, friends, and coaches to sign her national letter of intent to attend school and participate in both track and field at the University of Louisville in the fall.

The University of Louisville is a state-supported research university located in Kentucky’s largest metropolitan area. The University has three campuses. The 287-acre Belknap Campus is three miles from downtown Louisville and houses eight of the university’s 12 colleges and schools. The Health Sciences Center is situated in downtown Louisville’s medical complex and houses the university’s health-related programs and the University of Louisville Hospital. The 243-acre Shelby Campus is located in eastern Jefferson County.

The University of Louisville competes in the Atlantic Coast Conference at the NCAA Division I level and is home to twenty one varsity sports.

King, who has already started this season with a 1st place shot put throw of 35′ 5″ in the New Albany Invite, has notable recognition in the sport over her three previous years at CHS.  A list of King’s accolades can be found below:

  • 2018-19 Courier Journal Honorable Mention
  • 2018-19 MSC Honorable Mention
  • 2020-21 MSC Champion
  • 2020-21 MSC Shot Put Champion
  • 2020-21 North Harrison Invite Shot Put record Holder
  • 2020-21 Sectional Champion
  • 2020-21 Regional Qualifier

 

King will throw shot put and hammer for the Cardinals and may expand her repertoire into other events. She will major in health and human performance. When asked about her school choice of The University of Louisville, King said, “UofL feels like home for so many reasons. Being exposed to the student experience and the support and community they bring meant everything. I am so excited to pursue both my academic and athletic career at Louisville! ”

Charlestown track and field coach Jerry Doyle shared the following sentiments on King: “It’s been a joy coaching Demaria, watching her grow not only as an athlete, but as a person. She is a perfect example of what leadership looks like. She leads by example!  I have no doubt that great things are in store for her, not only this season in track & field, but in all of her future endeavors as well.”

The Charlestown High School athletic department and WPMQ, The Pirate Network congratulate Demaria and wish her a healthy and prosperous future as a University of Louisville Cardinal
