Ottumwa -- Sarah Wilcox, a key contributor to the success of the Indian Hills softball team the past two seasons, has had her jersey retired by Carlisle High School. Wilcox's jersey was retired in a ceremony prior to Carlisle's June 29 game with Saydel.
Her jersey is one of 20 that has been retired in the 27 years that Jim Flaws has coached at Carlisle. Flaws' program has sent a number of talented players to Indian Hills.
Wilcox was a two-year starter at shortstop for Indian Hills. She played on the 2010 team that qualified for the NJCAA Division I National Tournament and on a team that tied for the Region 11 regular-season championship this past spring.
In high school, Wilcox was a four-year starter in softball and a two-time all-state selection. As a senior, she led the Wildcats to the Class 3-A state championship game and was chosen to play in the senior all-star game.
Flaws said Carlisle usually retires the jerseys of its former softball players soon after they complete high school so the current players can be there to honor their former teammates.

Another Former Warrior Going to Minnesota
Ottumwa -- Former Indian Hills softball player Nicole Steinle will be joining another ex-Warrior at St. Cloud State University in the fall. Steinle has signed a letter-of-intent with the Minnesota school and will enroll there next season.
At St. Cloud State, Steinle will be reunited with Jordan Grell, like Steinle, a first-team all-Region 11 performer for the Warriors this past spring.
Steinle, a Fort Collins, Colorado native, played in 79 games over two seasons for Indian Hills. As a sophomore, she hit .250 and led the team in homers with eight and walks with 30. She had a .520 slugging percentage and a .993 fielding percentage while playing primarily first base.
Steinle was recently honored for her "Exemplary Academic Achievement" by the National Junior College Athletic Association, one of three IHCC softball players named as "Athletes of Distinction" for their academic performance this past year.
