These four middle school track athletes competed at the State Middle School Championships today in Gothenburg. This track meet is a combination of all classes and allows small town athletes to compete against the metro athletes. This is a huge accomplishment for these athletes! Congrats again to Cohen Shields (high jump 🥈), Paxton Holmes (triple jump 20th), Brody Scholl (high jump 18th), and Bentley Shields (long jump 9th).

Congratulations to Cohen Shields for placing 2nd today in the high jump today at the state middle school meet at Gothenburg. The state middle school meet is an all class event. Cohen jumped at impressive 5'8" today! Congratulations Cohen! 🥈

Helping with food distribution is priceless - watching the gratitude of those you serve and the humbleness of the students who do it. And costly because middle school kids can eat! All jokes aside. It cost us nothing but extreme pride for our students who will step up and help out. Food is the finest reward. Thank you students for helping this year.
