Don Fischer

Guest Speaker:
Don Fischer

The "Voice of the Hoosiers", Don Fischer has been the play-by-play voice of Indiana Men's Basketball and Football since 1973. During that time, he's called more than 2,000 games, four NCAA Men's Basketball Championship games and 12 bowl contests, serving as the voice that IU fans trust for nearly 50 years. He's also one of the most respected and highly-decorated play-by-play announcers in all of college sports. He's been honored as the National Sports Media Association's Indiana Sportscaster of the Year 27 times, and earlier this summer was awarded the prestigious National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame's Chris Schenkel Award.

Emcee:
Jake Query

Indianapolis native Jake Query realized his childhood dream of becoming a sports reporter, beginning with play-by-play commentary for high school games on 89.3 WJEL. He pursued a successful career post-Indiana University, reporting for WRTV (ABC) and hosting a morning show on WIBC. Currently, he's a beloved sports broadcaster on "Query & Company" on 107.5 "The Fan" and serves as the turn 3 announcer for INDYCAR Radio Network during Indianapolis Motor Speedway events. Beyond his career, Jake's compassion shines through his charitable work, donating Colts tickets to underprivileged kids and promoting homelessness awareness through "30 meals with 30 people" with Wheeler Mission. His sports broadcasting journey and community commitment have earned him respect across the city of Indianapolis and throughout his home state.
