It was a night of battling the elements and the competition for our track teams.
At MFL, the boys pushed through some tough winds and still put together a strong performance. They finished 2nd behind Starmont, totaling 19 placings, 5 new personal records, and a relay season-best. More importantly, they showed the mindset we’ve talked about all season - controlling what they can control and competing all the way through the finish.
For the girls, the word of the meet at Ed-Co was “battle”. Not only did everyone battle windy conditions that got worse as the meet went on, but they battled against a strong 12 team field of highly ranked 1A teams, conference teams and 2A/3A teams. Individually, they also saw numerous battles with finishes going right down to the wire that helped produced 8 PRs and 4 season best marks.
Proud of the way both teams handled adversity and continued to compete at a high level. The teams now turn their focus to the Upper Iowa Conference meet on Thursday after a couple days of practice.

Help us congratulate today's Senior Spotlight, Henry Reimer!
Even though we try not to let the weather take center stage during track season, we all know it can shape the feel of a meet. After a solid start, the wind picked up and temperatures dropped, but our girls didn’t let it slow them down.
They competed hard through a quick meet and finished 2nd as a team, recording 8 PRs and 1 season-best mark along the way!
Tough conditions, strong effort, and great results. Proud of this group! 💪

In Mrs. Bond’s Independent Agriculture class Layla Embretson performed a freeze-drying experiment. She used carrots, yogurt, strawberries, and skittles to represent different food groups. There were different tests she conducted, like a rehydration test and how much moisture the foods lost. Strawberries lost 32.40%, with yogurt in a close second of 31.80% moisture loss. Baby-cut Carrots were 13.70% and Skittles were a surprising 2% moisture loss. Some even have unexpected textures after the freeze-drying was conducted, as seen in the photos. Overall, this project taught layla a lot about freeze-drying and preservation.
