Congratulations to all of our students who participated in The Prospects Competition! Many of them did not go away empty handed.

The High School Track & Field Team is off to a great start to the 2025 Season. The weather hasn't held up to its end of the bargain but what's spring track season without a little bit of precipitation. Saturday marks their 3rd meet. It is Elisa Roden's first year in track and she PR'd in javelin and the 3200m at her second meet. This is Kalen Martinell third year in track and he has made it to finals at each meet for javelin and is just patiently waiting for that PR. He is also working toward some PR's in discus and high jump. It is also Ezra Staley's first year of track and he set PR's in javelin and shot put on Saturday. It's Rayne Kindberg's first year in high school track and she PR'd in discus and shot put at her second meet. Kiersten Bernard tried out the JV 800m at a meet a couple weeks ago and placed 4th and she's also working on her PR's for discus and javelin. Thanks to Josh Morris, the running bug has seemed to bit a few of our athletes so we may see more partake in running events. Good job, athletes and good luck at this week's meet in Butte










The JH Track & Field Team had their first meet in Corvallis today. Everyone did well in their placements. Rowen Bailey placed 4th in the 100m, 2nd in the 200m, and 16th out of 49 in long jump. Audrianna Bernard placed 21st out of 57 in shot put and 19th out of 50 in discus. Josiah Iglehart placed 36th out of 50 in shot put and 27th out of 44 in discus. What a great start to their season! Keep up the good work. A huge thank you to Corvallis for putting on a great meet.
