What a night for Cougar Cross Country! The girls varsity team had a fantastic showing at the Starmont meet, finishing first in 1A and an impressive second overall, just two points shy of 2A’s 5th ranked Waukon. The boys finished 4th overall in class 1A. A huge congratulations to the four medalists: Sydney Z (7th), Rain R (9th), Jaci S (20th), and Braelyn S (23rd). The team's hard work paid off with new personal records from Sydney Z, Braelyn S, Zeke B, Grayden M, Greg B, Oakley F, Titus P, and Chase P. Cougars race again in Grundy Center next Thursday.
Big congrats to Erin S on a huge milestone! At last night's volleyball triangular, she reached 500 career digs. What an amazing accomplishment!

🧢Let’s come together as a Cougar family to support Trypp Roszell, a 2025 graduate who is currently undergoing cancer treatment. To help with the costs of his treatment-related travel, we are holding a fundraiser. From today through Friday, September 19, you can pay $2 to wear a hat or other headwear at school. To participate, just see one of the students collecting money by the office each day when you arrive to get a colored dot sticker for your hat. Remember to keep the sticker on and make sure your headwear is school-appropriate. All proceeds go directly to Trypp and his family. Let's show Trypp our full support!🤠
