Congratulations to Gretchen Hinger for being chosen as this week’s Clarke Central High School Gladiator Student-Athlete of the Week. Gretchen is a senior pitcher on the Clarke Central Varsity Softball team. Gretchen is also a swimmer for Clarke Central and serves as President of the National Honor Society. 

“Gretchen is the very definition of what it means to be a leader. She leads not only on the mound and by her skill but she brings a level of energy and a positive attitude that is contagious even when the game gets hard. She’s the kind of teammate any athlete would be lucky to have playing alongside them.” - Assistant Softball Coach, Kali Gray

"Gretchen is focused, thorough, efficient, and reliable. When she says she is going to do something, she gets it done and does it well. As third in her senior class, I know that she applies these same qualities to her schoolwork and will continue to do so in college." - Head Coach of Swimming and Diving, Emily Dowd Hulse
