Good morning, Lafayette.

Purdue junior Tatum Langston and crew chief Mollie Parker led Windsor Racing — an all-female go-kart team — as the only automatic qualifier at the 68th Purdue Grand Prix, aiming to encourage more women to enter motor sports.

The team practiced year-round and battled mechanical issues during the race to demonstrate that women can excel in both racing and engineering.

Purdue football’s Marcus Mbow was picked by the New York Giants in the 2025 NFL Draft with the 154th pick—after returning from a leg injury, he started 12 games and is expected to contribute as a guard at the pro level.

Lafayette Jeff boys volleyball player Azlan Rodriguez and Covington softball player Caydence Peaslee were named the Journal & Courier Athlete of the Week.

Rodriguez received 29,072 votes—leading his team with 219 kills—while Peaslee hit four home runs in one game and maintained a .393 average.

At Purdue Grand Prix on Saturday in West Lafayette, lifelong friends from Morgan Township High School—including Purdue junior Greyson Lemmons, driver Tyce Kolan, and crew chief Quinn O'Brien—raced with TK Racing after reworking their go-kart following last year's setbacks.

The underdog crew qualified with the 27th fastest practice time and finished 22nd of 23 teams.

Lafayette Jeff shortstop Leyton Corbin made a standout play that has local fans asking if it is the play of the spring—video coverage is fueling the debate.

The move from a recent game has many watching his performance closely.
