Another cold and windy track meet for our junior high track athletes. These kids didn’t disappoint, back down, or look for excuses. It is difficult to have track meets 2 days apart, bodies don’t have time for a full recovery. With that said… we had 49 Personal Bests or Season Bests for our team today. Way to go. Junior High Rocks!

WCHS JV golf went great today! Well done athletes and coach, Jake Miller!

Thanks to Rhonda Manley for finding these great books for the elementary library.

Thanks to Chris Pannbacker for donating these two books to the high school library.

Everybody competed in the events we had them entered in, some for the first time and some were working to better their times and distances. We came home with 28 medals total!!
