Joseph Winebrinner, Grant Fellers Bryce Mills, and Chasen Mahlman also represented the Bulldogs.

Healthy Tips from Indiana University Health
With summer approaching it's finally time to start thinking about fun in the sun. Before you head outside here are a few healthy tips to keep in mind.

Sun Facts:
*    Sun exposure can cause long-term damage to skin, including aging and cancer.
*    Wear sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or above. Look for one that provides "broad spectrum" protection from both ultraviolet A (UVA) that ages skin, and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays that cause burns.
*    Make sure you apply sunscreen multiple times during the day, not just once.

These tips are provided by the physicians and staff of the IU Health Urgent Care in Brownsburg who hope you have a fun, safe summer. As a reminder, they're open seven days a week, with no appointment needed for those times when summer doesn't go so well, including possible broken bones, or even routine sports physicals.
