Cougar Cross Country had another great night on the course at Oelwein, with all the athletes competing exceptionally well and making every point count. The varsity girls' team finished strong in third place, with three runners earning medals for their impressive performances: Sydney Z in 13th, Jaci S in 14th, and Rain R in 20th. Many of the runners achieved new personal records (PRs), including Sydney Z, Braelyn S, Cece S, Zeke B, Greg B, Greyson P, and Chase P. The team will be back in action on the course next Thursday at NFV.
The Cougar varsity volleyball team was victorious against the Oelwein Huskies in a commanding 3-0 sweep last night. The Cougars dominated the match with set scores of 25-17, 25-11, and 25-14.
