RESULTS
The cross country team wrapped up their season on Saturday with the Western Indiana Conference meet at Brown County. The boys’ team were the champions and the girls’ team finished 3rd but they were only two places off of second. There were a lot of really great runs. Notable finishes came from Josephine Buckley who was 3rd overall, and Zaden Norris who was 4th. Dominick Walker and Story Heckman also had outstanding races. Congratulations to our 8th graders for finishing their JH cross country career!
Congratulations to the junior high members of the Marching Mustangs! This past weekend, they competed at the Indiana State School Music Association Jasper contest, where they received a “Gold Rating” and distinction in the captions of music, visual, and general effect. The marching band will compete this upcoming weekend at the state-qualifying Regional competition at Center Grove High School.
