A glance of this week events. Go Big Red!!

Final from Moran MV 44 OHS 25

Thursday, September 4 the OHS and OJHS cross country teams traveled to Garnett for our first meet of the year. Unfortunately we don't have results from the meet for me to share with you. We do know that Paris Clifton finished 6th in the 7th grade girls division. Top 10 runners in the junior high divisions received a medal for their efforts. In the JV divisions the top 15 runners received medals. Chloe Rhodenbaugh raced to a 14th place finish securing our first high school medal. In the high school boys JV division Kaden Esposito crossed the line in 7th place for our third medal of the day. Close behind Kaden was Kross Fuller and Trace Kicer. We also had Dawson Conrad, Echo Morrison, Braileigh Blake, Jaden Perona, Tucker Brush, Journey Murphy, Annie Reynolds, Teagan Davis, Karma Cunningham, Skyler Neblett and Abby Holler runner for the junior high team. I was extremely proud of all our runners. They ran extremely hard and gave great effort throughout their respective races. I thought they also showed great team support by running around the course supporting each other during all the races. It was a great first race for us. We have witnessed great improvement each day so far. It is going to be a great season and I am looking forward to watching all of our runners the rest of the year. Would also like to thank all of our parents for their great support Thursday. Thanks you also to the parents for supplying our runners with snacks, water and gatorade. It was greatly appreciated. Our next meet is next Thursday, Sept. 11 at Fort Scott.

Sorry for the incorrect dates! Here is the revised calendar. Go Big Red!

The Indians will be traveling to Lebo this Friday for their football jamboree. We know that it's a long drive but the team would appreciate your support! Go Big Red!!

Check out this poster with our schedule that Courtney Owens made up for us. Check out the schedule for any meets that you might be able to attend. I know all of our kids would love your support.

Cross Country had our annual Saturday morning breakfast run this morning. We have 19 runners out this year. The junior high kids ran a 2 mile course and the high school kids ran a 3.1 mile course. This was one of the best breakfast runs we have ever had. We had tremendous support from the parents this morning. It was really fun watching them out on the course supporting and cheering our kids on. All individuals on the team ran really well this morning. The times they ran were the best times we have ever ran for our breakfast run. It was a good run to show them where they are for the distance they have to run. We still have some work to do but it is extremely encouraging where we are, at this point in the season. Following our run the kids were served breakfast by the parents. I would like to thank Kathy Esposito for suppling the fruit, Beth Fuller for the drinks and Laura Hanigan for syrup, butter, peanut butter and nutella. Would also like to thank Courtney Owens for taking a great team picture. Thank you to all the parents for their great support this morning. Going to be a great cross country season. I would like to apologize for not getting any action photos. Is probably a good thing however if you have seen some I have taken in the past. I would also like to add that we will be hosting a meet this year on September 18 at the Oswego Golf Course. I know our kids would appreciate your support on the 18th. Hope to see you there.
