With the conclusion of the fall sports season, the Western Indiana Conference has released its list of All-WIC athletes.

Athletes named to the boys’ and girls’ soccer, boys’ tennis, volleyball and football teams are selected by the coaches of the WIC. Athletes in girls’ golf and boys’ and girls’ cross country are on the All-WIC team based on their performances at their respective WIC meets.
