Bryce Jordan | Lake Charles, La. | Baseball
Bryce, a senior catcher at Barbe High, broke a 49-year-old national season record when he was hit by his 30th pitch in as many games in a 12--2 win over Comeaux High (Lafayette).

Lloimincia Hall | Dallas | Gymnastics
Hall, a junior at Louisiana State, scored her third perfect 10 on the floor exercises this season and the fifth of her career—both school records—to lead the Tigers to their 13th regional title and 25th berth in the NCAA championships in 32 years. (They were runners-up.) Last month Hall scored a 9.95 on floor to earn her third straight SEC title.
Carlton Nebel | St. Louis | Baseball
Nebel, 87, a retired St. Louis public schools teacher and grandfather of nine, was inducted into the Greater St. Louis Association of Umpires Hall of Fame.

Alex Jacobson | Cedar Rapids, Iowa | Softball
Jacobson, a senior third baseman and righthanded batter at Division II Rockhurst, broke an NCAA record for all divisions last month by homering in eight straight games. During the streak she batted .481 with 17 RBIs and a 1.222 slugging percentage. Jacobson was hitting .325 through Sunday and led the Hawks in slugging (.625).

Boggs, a junior at Indiana, won the men's draft-legal sprint in 55:06.58 at the USA Triathlon Collegiate Nationals in Tempe, Ariz. In the Olympic-distance event the next day he finished fifth in 1:47:20.58. A former swimmer for the Hoosiers, Boggs switched sports through USA Triathlon's collegiate recruitment program.
