Ethan Lambert, a 2024 Shelbyville High School graduate, has been named the Beth Prince State Farm Athlete of the Week.

Last week, Lambert signed with the University of Indianapolis to continue his track and field career.

Lambert, who is an active member of the Shelby County Special Olympics, will pursue a Criminal Justice degree at UIndy.

“I was looking through schools and figuring out the best place to apply to,” said Lambert in a recent Shelby County Post story on his commitment. “I looked at the University of Indianapolis. They have a very good Criminal Justice program which is what I want to go into – eventually I want to become a police officer.

“UIndy has a really great track program and great sports programs across the board. They have really nice facilities, especially the bubble (for indoor workouts) they have. I look forward to being able to practice in there year-round. That’s a big change being able to throw discus inside, which is huge for me.”
