1990–2026 · THE IHSAA RECORD AND THE TRIBUNE'S REPORTING
The banked leg printed four girls' sectional titles with three of their years standing as residue; this section settles three of the four and dates the fourth's settler. New Prairie's girls' sectional championships stand in 1990, in 2000 — a title the IHSAA's own regional preview recorded as breaking a drought back to that 1990 championship — and in 2024, won under head coach Aimee Litka at 20–6, reported in April 2026 as the program's first sectional championship since 2000. The banked count is four titles; three years are now settled, and one earlier year stands open — the athletic department's own arithmetic (the next title would be the program's fifth) confirms the count of four — with the settler named: the IHSAA's all-time girls' sectional champions list, read for the school's name. The coaching line runs with it: Litka resigned on 2 April 2026 after six seasons (58–78), and Ryan Curless was appointed on 27 April 2026 — the banked leg's "2026 coaching change" now carries its names and dates. That residue stands named, settler the IHSAA sectional rolls and the Tribune's season records worked player by player; the article prints what is settled and labels the rest, which is the item's discipline.
