and Adrian Carmenate earned individual awards at the competition. 2) Sophomores – Please see your school email in regards to open parking spots. 3) Congratulations to the Girls swim team for their dominating performance last night beating East on senior

night 141 to 39. The girls’ team wrapped up a third consecutive regular season conference title by winning and now

focus on next week’s conference championship meet, attempting to win that for the third straight year as well. Good

luck swimmers! 4) If you are interested in wrestling this year there will be a meeting in Coach Mehrhoff's room at 7:30 on

and those who are interested in Mock Trial this year should come to find out what it's all about and see if this

is an activity that you would like to be a part of once our official season begins. The pre-season practices will be

held on Mondays from 6:30-7:30 PM in the library beginning October 21. If you are new to Mock Trial or need

more information, please stop by and talk to Mrs. Barker in room 119. Attorneys Matt Laughlin and Elizabeth

6) The #2 Ranked Wildcats had a historic night at the RRC XC Meet in Winterset. Both the Varsity and the JV

teams brought home their 4th-Straight RRC Titles! The Varsity Boys won with a low score of 27. The Cats had 6

All-Conference performers, led by Kolby Fritz in 2nd place, Kyle Miller in 3rd, and Brandon Kesner in 4th. Not far

behind were Ethan Schlichte in 8th, Nate Norton in 10th, and Kaden Sadler in 17th. Also with a top 20 finish was

Tristen Kessler. The JV team perfect scored their way to the JV Title with 15 points. The JV team was led by

individual champion Hunter Snyder. Right behind Hunter were Keith Christenson in 2nd, Logan Howard in 3rd,

Mason Ramsey in 4th, Quinten Kessler in 5th, and Raymond Birech in 7th. Also grabbing top 20 spots in the JV

race were Quincy Griffin in 11th, Brayden Kessler in 12th, Lincoln Eighmy in 16th, and Tyler Crall in 17th.

17 Runners ran their season’s best times tonight. Tyler Crall joins the Sub-20 Club in his final HS XC race. Ethan

Schlichte joined the Sub-18 Club tonight. Keenan Richards, James Gano, and Wyatt Sobieszkoda all joined the

Sub-21 Club tonight. These 5 runners have the distinction of improving their time each and every meet throughout

the entire season: Raymond Birech, Keenan Richards, Adrian Carmenate, Wyatt Sobieszkoda, and Carter

Glawe. Last but not least, Kolby Fritz became a 4-time All-Conference runner tonight and Kyle Mille became a 3-

Timer!

7) The #14 Wildcat Girls Cross Country squad placed 3nd at the RRC Championships only one point back of

runner-up Winterset. 3A #1 Ballard won the team title with a tremendous score of 23 points. 3A #1 Ainsley Erzen

continued her dominating season with a 20 second victory in a new course record time of 18:56 to win back-to-back

individual titles to start her career. Erzen’s win makes it the 4th consecutive year that the Wildcats have had the

individual champion. Tessa Erzen was the other Wildcat receiving All-Conference honors with a 10th place finish.

Riley Sievers and Ella Andersen came in close together just off of All-Conference placings. Laura Downs and

Abook Dok followed up their breakout races from last week with another solid performance to close out the wildcat

scoring. The junior varsity team was also able to grab a 3rd place finish. This was the first time in recent memory

that the Wildcats have been able to field a complete scoring junior varsity team, and they showed they certainly

belong. Sage Austin, Bella Pagel, and Maria Kuittinen all came in within 6 seconds of each other to start off the

scoring. 30 seconds back was Mady Taylor who closed hard to pass several other runners in the final stretch.

Closing out the junior varsity portion was Assem Imankarina and Hannah McGraw. The Wildcats will soon be

learning their destination for the State Qualifying Meet next Thursday.
