Stormy weather may have cut the night short, but the girls still delivered with 8 new PRs and 6 season-best marks. A strong showing all around!

Today was a unique hands-on learning experience for our Outdoor Recreation class. One of our students harvested a wild turkey this morning and generously shared it with the class.
Students had the opportunity to observe the process and learn about the different cuts of meat, gaining a better understanding of where their food comes from and the skills involved in processing it. A great day of real-world learning and appreciation for the outdoors!
