The Herington High School Cross Country Varsity and JV squads competed at Marion on Thursday, September 23. This meet proved to be an unforgettable one and one that will set the bar for future competitions. The Herington High School Cross Country team got a glimpse of how capable they are of performing as individuals for a team. Four out of five of the members on the team received a medal. When asked about how he felt about his team accomplishing such a great thing, Koy Mueller said, “It feels so great that all of my hard work paid off. I was happy, but I’m still more concerned with my times rather than my placing.”
Davanne Schaffer, competed as a Varsity runner for the girls in the 5k race. She ran a time of 24.46 and placed eleventh among the Varsity female runners. She is continuing to find her stride this year as she is becoming more familiar with the courses. Jaiden Vogt competed as a junior varsity runner in the 5k. She placed sixth and she is beginning to understand the strategy behind her running. She set a brand new personal record for herself and she has set the bar high at 29.56. She cut off four minutes from her time at the previous meet at Lyndon. On the boys side, Koy Mueller competed as a varsity runner in the 5k. His average mile pace is staying consistent, but at this meet he struggled to break the 20 minute barrier that he can usually surpass. At this meet, he ran a time of 20.33. Korey Meier as a junior varsity runner in the 5k. Korey placed sixteenth and earned his first medal of the year, he ran a time of 24.07. Korey cut thirty seconds off his previous personal record that he set at Lyndon and he is finding his extra kick at the end of tough races.

Thank you!
"Tomorrow's lunch will not be crispitos as the company is not making them for the time being. We will have burritos instead. I know this is a HUGE disappointment for many students. When we get word that they are making them again, we will add them to the menu." Thank you for your understanding.
