The BRHS Alumni Association congratulates Mrs. Kerry Hughey Yount, Class of 1986, who was awarded this year's BRHS Distinguished Alumna award. Kerry received her award at Ripple Round Up, May 10. Principal Davis presented the award, as the audience cheered and rose to their feet. Kerry is currently the Secretary of the Alumni Association, and in 2009 became the president of the BRMHS Athletic Booster Club. In this capacity, she runs the concession stands at sporting events. With the help of parent and student volunteers, she has seen much success. Through their efforts, they have been able to pay out over $25,000 in uniforms, equipment, swimming pool rental, and sports banquets over the past two years. She has been a volunteer assistant coach with the girls' golf team for over ten years, assisting Mrs. Sandy Sisson Fenstermaker (Class of 1954), who was her own golf coach when she was a student at Broad Ripple. Kerry's father, Kenneth Hughey (Class of 1952) was a star athlete and was a member of several record-setting track teams at that time. Kerry's loyalty to the school is unwavering and unmatched. Kerry never misses the opportunity to tell everyone, "I bleed black and orange!"
