INDIANAPOLIS | Bishop Chatard senior Julia Score has been named Indianapolis City Female Athlete of the Year, adding a citywide honor to a high school career built around cross country, track and steady championship-level performance.

The Indianapolis Star reported the recognition Saturday, highlighting Score's place among the city's top high school athletes. Score has been associated with Bishop Chatard's cross country and track programs, where distance runners often carry demanding year-round training schedules across fall, indoor and spring competition.

City athlete awards are about more than a single result. They recognize performance, consistency, leadership and the ability to represent a school across seasons. For a senior athlete, the honor can also serve as a closing marker for a high school career and a reminder of how much Indianapolis sports culture depends on students, coaches, families and school communities outside the professional spotlight.

Bishop Chatard has long been one of the city's most visible athletic programs, and Score's recognition keeps attention on the depth of girls high school sports across Indianapolis. Track and cross country do not always command the same attention as football or basketball, but citywide honors help bring those athletes into the broader sports conversation.
