The Oswego Archery teams traveled to Pittsburg to compete on Saturday. This will be our last tournament before the state tournament in Hutchinson on March 28. Pittsburg would only host a bullseye tournament this week. Both our elementary and middle school teams would finish in first place. Both team scores were down some from last week. Still very respectable scores though. The elementary team had 10 boys and 8 girls finish in the top 10. The middle school saw 3 boys and 7 girls shoot their way into the top 10. For high school we had 3 girls and 1 boys finish in the top ten. Finishing as individual champions were Oakley Gatton, Addison Long, Odalys Santana and Teagan Davis. Once again, this week we had several shooters shoot season/career best scores. Those archers were: High school: Chloe Rhodenbaugh 282, Brooklynn Hazell 279 and Ella Shouse 251. Middle school: Teagan Davis 281, Teazly Higgins 254 and Makayla Ekhoff 247. Elementary School: Oakley Gatton 264, Addison Long 236, Zoey Dodge 230 and Kamree Shouse 210. It was a very productive day for our archery shooters. We had a few of our higher shooters missing today because of spring break. This allowed some shooters the opportunity to step up in their absence. That is exactly what happened! I really enjoy seeing those kids step up and have successful days. They gain individual confidence that will help team success in the future. It is now time to turn our focus to the state tournament. Both the elementary and middle school teams are defending state champions. The elementary team has won 5 out of the last 6 and the middle school has won the last two. It is very important that we have very productive fun practices leading up to state. We have some really great shooters and it is going to be fun watching them prepare and improve the next two weeks. We are really looking forward to the state tournament and can’t wait for it to get here.

The Oswego Archery teams traveled to Southeast to compete today. The top 3 places in each division medaled and the top 3 teams won trophies today. We were very fortunate to bring home 21 medals and 5 trophies. Our elementary bullseye and 3D teams placed first today. The elementary team score was a very impressive 2982. That score moved us into 26th place in the United States out of between 700-800 teams. The middle school bullseye and 3D teams also placed first. Our high school 3D team rounded out the trophy haul with a second place finish. Those archers winning medals were: Ryder Collins, Oakley Gatton, Madison Spencer, Adelynn Queen, Hawke Fuller, Teagan Davis, Maicee Wimp, Odalys Santana, Xitlally Santana, Skyler Neblett, Aralynn Tun, Michael Varner, Chloe Rhondenbaugh, Bryson Royer, Owen Foster and Amelia Head. We also had several shoot their best scores. Those archers were: Jackson Gilley 3D, Xitlally Santana 3D and bullseye, Teazly Higgins 3D and bullseye, Bryson Royer 3D, Cage Miller 3D, Mikyala Ekhoff 3D, Owen Foster 3D and bullseye, Gabe Spencer 3D, River Rauniker 3D, Hawke Fuller 3D and bullseye, Maicee Wimp bullseye, Odalys Santana bullseye, Madison Spencer bullseye, Adelynn Queen bullseye, McKenna White bullseye, Holden Hoppes bullseye, Brogan Marquardt bullseye, Jaxson Cowen bullseye, Alia Heape bullseye, Khloie Rehmert bullseye and Dwain Duecy bullseye. It was an outstanding day for our archers on Saturday. It seemed like the kids were locked in from the very beginning of the day and continued as the day went on. We had an awesome week of practice leading up to the tournament. It is not a coincidence that it translated into the successful day we had today. After today, both our elementary bullseye and 3D teams are ranked in the top 100 in the United States (bullseye 26th and 3D 78). Pretty impressive accomplishment I believe and one that should be celebrated. We also have several shooters that have the top ranked scores in their division in the state. We just have some amazing kids on our archery teams. It is extremely fun to watch them shoot and grow as archers. We feel extremely fortunate that we get to coach them. Saturday, March 14 we will travel to Pittsburg for our next tournament.

The Oswego archery teams traveled to Carl Junction, Missouri for our second tournament of the year. Some of the top teams in Missouri and Oklahoma compete in this tournament. Locust Grove has the number one ranked team in the United States in both the High School and Middle School division. The Locust Grove Elementary team is ranked in the top 30 in the United States. I was extremely proud of our kids for how they performed. Top three teams in each division for bullseye and 3D won trophies. Top 10 individual bullseye and top 5 individual 3D shooters won medals. We were fortunate enough to bring home 9 medals and two trophies. The elementary bullseye and 3D teams placed second in both divisions to secure both of our trophies on the day. We were around 40 points behind Carl Junction and around 300 points behind Locust Grove going into the last few rounds. We had three boys left to shoot. Oakley Gatton, Stephan House and Owen Foster killed it on the range with their scores. They were able to propel us above Carl Junction and into second place. Locust Grove still had a 100 point lead on us for first place. Both our high school kids and middle school teams performed admirably on Saturday. We had some high scores. We just could not overcome the level of competition on this day. I know our kids will continue to work hard and our scores will be good enough by the end of the year. Individually, we brought home 9 medals. Those students securing medals were: Michael Varner bullseye, Teagan Davis bullseye, Oakley Gatton 3D and bullseye, Ryder Collins bullseye, Bryson Royer bullseye, Kenzie Rion bullseye, Madison Spencer bullseye, Jackson Gilley 3D. We had a few that missed a medal by one or two places.
Career best score on the day belong to: Oakley Gatton 3D and bullseye, Jackson Gilley 3D, Bryson Royer 3D, Makayla Ekhoff 3D, Teazly Higgins 3D and bullseye, River Rauniker 3D and bullseye, Hawke Fuller 3D and bullseye, Ember Waggoner 3D and bullseye, Owen Foster 3D, Ella Shouse 3D, Teagan Davis bullseye, Ryder Collins bullseye, Maleah Moore bullseye, Emily Wible bullseye, Stephen House bullseye, Kenzie Rion bullseye, Gunner Fountain bullseye, Cadence Campbell bullseye, Madison Spencer bullseye, Addison Long bullseye, Persephone Fuller bullseye, Holden Hoppes, Kamree Shouse, Izzabella Bradley, Zoey Dodge, Alia Heape and Malayah Queen.
I am extremely proud of our kids on how they performed on Saturday. I know they all represented our school in a great way. They were great ambassadors for our school and town. Without bragging too much, I know we have made a name for ourselves at these tournaments. Our kids have put our name on the map in this area as far as archery goes. I believe they know we have some really good shooters and they will need to perform at a high level to beat us. It isn’t all about who is winning though. We have many success stories each tournament we attend that don’t involve someone winning a trophy or medal. From first time shooters successfully finishing a tournament to veterans that shoot their career best. We have shooters that were ready to quit because they weren’t performing well. Now we are watching those same shooters bring home medals. Those are all examples of success happening without winning a medal or trophy. It is just awesome for me to watch. A great big thank you goes out to all the parents that make this happen. Some travel to the tournament after and before basketball games. I know they are running all over the country to make this happen. For that I appreciate it. I know some of them don’t like me getting them up so early to shoot in the morning rounds. I will work on that but can’t make any promises. We also have some committed and loyal coaches. Mike Dalton, Briston Kapler, Jason Higgins, Joseph Fuller and Kieth Hazell are great coaches that make all of this happen. They all do a great job and I appreciate them more than they know. Thank you for all you do. Thank you also to Carl Junction for running a great tournament and allowing us to compete on Saturday.

This Thursday, September 18 the Oswego Cross Country teams will host our first ever cross country meet. The meet will take place at the Oswego Golf Course. The first race starts at 3:00. This group of runners has been an amazing group to coach. I know they would appreciate your support on Thursday. We would like to invite you to come watch them run. In cross country you are allowed to go out anywhere you want on the course to support the runners. Not sure there is another sport that you can go out and join the athletes on their area of competition. That is for sure a unique aspect of cross country. Come out and cheer our runners on this Thursday. You won't be disappointed!

The High School and middle school teams traveled to Fort Scott today for our second meet of the year. The 7th grade boys and girls started the action for us this afternoon. On the girls side Paris Clifton dominated the competition with a 1st place finish and a season best time of 14:43. Karma Cunningham ran second for our team with a time of 20:28. Journey Murphy was our 3rd runner to cross the line with a season best time of 22:41. Annie Reynolds was our 4th girl to finish and Abby Holler was our 5th girl. Annie and Abby ran the same time of 27:17. The five girls had a team score of 75 points which was good enough for 3rd place. On the 7th grade boys side Dawson Conrad paced the boys with a 2nd place finish and a very impressive time of 14:14. This was a season best time for Dawson. Skyler Neblett crossed the line 2nd for our Indian runners. His time of 18:34 was good enough for 21st place and also a season best time. Teagan Davis was our third runner with a time of 22:02 and also a season best time. Our 4th runner to finish was Tucker Brush with a season best time of 23:12. Jaden Perona would cross the line 5th for our junior high boys team. His time of 25:06 was also a season best time. The five runners for our middle school team captured 1st place team honors. The top ten runners received medals for their performance. Both Paris and Dawson secured our first two medals of the day. Echo Morrison was our only 8th grade runner to compete in the 8th grade girls division. Her time of 17:01 was good enough for 8th place and our third medal of the day. Her time was also a season best time. Chloe Rhodenbaugh would be our first high school runners to compete. Her performance in the girls JV race was good enough for third place. Chloe ran 28:03 which was one second off of her season best. Chloe won our 4th medal of the day. In the boys high school JV division, Kaden Esposito ran a very impressive season best time of 21:14 which was good enough for 2nd place and secured our 5th medal of the day. Kross Fuller crossed the line second for us with a time of 26:23. Kross finished in 27th place. Trace Kiser finished third for us with a time of 28:24. His time was good enough for 35th place. Madden Kilcrease ran his first race of the year crossing the line in 47th place for the Indians. You need five runners to qualify as a team. Unfortunately we were one runner short to qualify as a team. It was a great day for our Indian runners. The boys 7th grade team finished 1st and the girls 7th grade team ran to a third place finish. We had five runners secure medals. Ten out of the 17 runners today ran season best times. We had a great week of practice and it sure did pay off. I am extremely proud of how our runners performed today. We had really good team support and once again our parents showed up and performed at a high level. This was by far the hottest day we have had to run. That made things a little tougher for us but we didn't let that stop us. Would like to thank all the parents for the food and water they donated to our runners today. It was greatly appreciated. This group of runners is really fun to coach. I really enjoy watching them run. If you have a chance, please come out to the golf course next Thursday, Sept. 18. We are hosting our first meet ever. First race starts at 3:00. It is going to be a great day to watch our cross country teams compete.

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.

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.

Mr. Cruse will be at the high school until around 3:00 for those that are interested in signing up for cross country. If you are in grades 6 thru 12 your are eligible to run cross country. If you are interested in running cross country come out and see me. There is also a sign-up sheet at Service Valley for any 6th, 7th or 8th grade student who in interested from Service Valley.

Summer Cross Country 2025 We will meet on Wednesday every week to do some training and team building activities. We will always meet in the park unless I let you know different. We will start the Wednesday after memorial weekend. The date will be May 28. We will meet for an hour between 9:00 and 10:00 in the morning. We will just plan on meeting one day per week for now. If schedules allow, we might start meeting two days a week. No matter how many days we meet, you are still encouraged to run on your own on those days we don’t meet. Below are some websites that you can go and check out some summer camp opportunities. Check them out if you are interested in going to a camp. Participation in summer activities and camps is not mandatory but is encouraged. Memorial day is on May 26. We have been offered the opportunity to help put up the flags at the cemetery and get paid for doing so. I have accepted the offer. Let me know if you will be able to help put up flags on May 26. Some of the money will go to the cross country team to help pay for our trip to Rim Rock this year. In order to receive the money we will need cross country runners to help. If we don’t have runners help then we won’t receive the money. We will need to be there ready to put up flags at 6:30 am and take them down at 5:00 pm. We need to be there for both sessions. lyoncrosscountrycamps.com www.swmorunningcamp.com https://www.facebook.com/swmorunningcamp https://www.instagram.com/swmorunningcamp/ swmorunningcamp@gmail.com We cannot meet the week of June 30 thru July 6 per KSHSAA rules.

On Tuesday, May 27 we will have an archery ceremony to recognize all of our archers for the great season they had. The banquet will start at 6:30 and will be held in the cafeteria of the elementary school in Oswego. Please let me know if you will be able to attend so I can get a count of how many will be there. Please bring any archery shirts you have to the banquet to hand in. If you have paid for your shirt you won't need to turn it in. Thank you and we hope to see you on the 27th.

We had 28 archers travel to Louisville, Kentucky May 8th, 9th and 10th. There was 33 states and 877 schools represented in this tournament. It was a tremendous showing for both our elementary team and middle school team. Our elementary team shot their season best scores in bullseye and 3D both. Our middle school team was a little off of their best. They had a very good tournament however. I thought out shooters really stepped up against the best competition we have faced all year. Several qualified for Worlds which was a great accomplishment. The most impressive performance of the day came from Chloe Rhodenbaugh. In the history of our archery program we have never brought home hardware from this tournament. Chloe missed bringing home a medal by one place and one point. Just finishing 6th was a big deal. It would have been a huge accomplishment for her and our program if she could have secured that first medal. I could not be prouder of our archers that performed. It would have been easy for them to feel that they were in over their head with the great competition they faced. We did not do that! We shot just like we were shooting in a local tournament. Great job to all of our Indian archers. You were great representatives of our school and community. These people shot their best scores of the season: Jazlyn Folk 263 BE, Aralynn Tun 261 BE, Oakley Gatton 259 BE, Odalys Santana 257 BE, Bryson Royer 250 BE & 207 3D, Jackson Gilley 249 BE & 228 3D, Stephen House 242 BE, Pateince DeMoss 211 BE, Madison Spencer 209 BE, Allison Becker 198 BE, Kenzie Rion 193 BE, Chloe Rhodenbaugh 279 BE & 289 3D, Matthias Shaw 276 3D, Paris Clifton 248 3D We had two archers shoot perfect round of 50. Chloe Rhodenbaugh shot a 50 in 3D and Michael Varner shot a 50 in bullseye. We also had a record number of archers qualify of the Worlds Championship in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. In order to qualify for the prestigious event elementary archers had to shoot a score of 255 or better, middle school 275 or better. Those scores were for 3D and bullseye both. Those qualifying were Matthias Shaw in both 3D and bullseye, Chloe Rhodenbaugh in both 3D and bullseye, Michael Varner bullseye, Jazlyn Folk bullseye, Aralynn Tun bullseye, Oakley Gatton bullseye and Odalys Santana in both 3D and bullseye Bullseye: Elementary team score of 2934 placed us 66th out of 184 teams. This score was our top team score of the season. Individual Scores: Jazlyn Folk 263 PR - 22nd out of 690 5th grade girls, 121st out of 1805 elementary girls Aralynn Tun 261 PR - 140th out of 1115 5th grade girls, 172 out of 1805 elementary girls Oakley Gatton 259 PR – 62nd out of 823 4th grade boys, 256th out of 2009 elementary boys Odalys Santana 257 – 206th out of 1115 5th grade girls, 250th out of 1805 elementary girls Bryson Royer 250 PR – 128th out of 823 4th grade boys, 484 out of 2009 elementary boys Jackson Gilley 249 PR – 135th out of 823 4th grade boys, 502 out of 2009 elementary boys Teagan Davis 244 Stephen House 242 PR – 205th out of 823 4th grade boys Xitlally Santana 232 Skyler Neblett 229 Elias Smith 228 Cage Miller 220 Patience DeMoss 211 PR Madison Spencer 209 PR Allison Becker 198 PR Kenzie Rion 193 PR Middle School Team score of 3065 placed us 204th out of 252 teams.

This coming Saturday, April 12 the archery team is going to have a pancake feed from 8:00-10:00 in the cafeteria of the elementary school in Oswego. The money raised from this will go to our archery team to help offset the cost of the trip to Louisville, Kentucky in May. The cost of the meal will be donation only. Your support on Saturday will be greatly appreciated. Hope to see you there. If you know you are going to attend, please let me know.

Friday, April 4 at 3:05 they are going to have an assembly at the high school to recognize the middle school and high school archery teams. We are going to celebrate their accomplishments this year and wish them good luck as we head to nationals. Parents of the middle school and high school students are invited if they want to come.

We are going to have a meeting to talk to those that are planning on or thinking about going to nationals. The meeting will be this Sunday, April 6 at 6:00 in the elementary school cafeteria in Oswego. We will also talk about possible fundraiser activities to help with the cost. Hope to see you there.

We will take the next couple weeks off from archery practice. We are in the process of finding out who all can go to Nationals. When we know who can go we will make plans to start practice up again. Will communicate practice schedule when we find out.
