Northern Valley Middle School Girls Track
Coach Emily Lowry’s Comments: On April 21, 2026, the Northern Valley Middle School track teams competed in the Logan Junior High Track Meet against eight other schools. It started as a beautiful morning and ended with extreme heat, but our athletes gave extra effort, and we saw a lot of improvement. The three sixth-grade girls scored 40 points overall for third place and the junior high girls scored 79 total points for a second-place plaque.
Annika McKinney is coming back from an ankle injury but was able to do her throwing events winning the silver in javelin and bronze in shot put. Cambrie Sproul had a good run in the 200m hurdles for a silver medal and bronze in the 100m hurdles. One the sixth-grade side Joplyn McCue jumped 4’ 0” for a gold medal in high jump and Amora Simoneau took the bronze in the 200m dash.

Pre-School Night!
On April 21st, Conner David was the lone Husky golfer to represent the team at the Alma Invitational. The other Huskies that would have attended this highly competitive meet were fulfilling track commitments. There were 75 total golfers for the 10 am tee time. The day was warm to hot by the last five holes.
Conner played well for most of the day with 14 of the 18 holes resulting in pars and single bogeys but a few tee shots hit out of bounds and overshooting another green to go out of bounds led to extra strokes and penalty strokes that couldn't be overcome to get into medal contention. Conner finished 32nd out of 75 with a 96.
The next Husky competition will be the Varsity squad playing their home course at Norton on April 23rd.

The JV Huskies Golf Team headed to Oxford, NE for the Southern Valley Invitational JV Tournament on April 16th. As with many JV tournaments, there were 9 holes as opposed to the varsity meets with the full 18. The team faced a different type of course than their first meet earlier in the week. The Huskies had many of their first opportunities to play in thick grass and play up and down hills.
The team was a part of a 29-golfer field as the only Kansas team. It was a learning experience with new challenges in course management and trying to stay consistent with ball striking. The meet was won with a 42 by an Alma golfer and no team score was kept. The Huskies shot higher than they wanted but still had a nice warm day to play some golf.
Clay Van Patten- 61- 17th place, Bryson Wilder- 65- 22nd place, Malikiah Hitt- 70- 24th place, Jeremiah Kirkland- 73- 26th place, Jaden Johns- 76- 28th place, Kylee Ledbetter- 86- 29th place.

Coach Cole;
The Huskies had their final powerlifting meet on April 18. Clay Van Patten, Zane Brown, Jeremiah Kirkland, and Bryson Wilder attended the 8-Man State Meet at Central Plains High School in Claflin, KS. There were 358 total lifters, 48 boys teams, and 32 girls teams. Of all the teams, there were seven 6-Man schools competing amongst the 8-Man schools.
Clay Van Patten lifted in the HWT class. He ended 18th overall out of 32 lifters. Clay benched 165 lbs, squatted 315 lbs, and cleaned 175 lbs.
Zane Brown lifted in the 165 weight class. He ended 18th overall out of 33 lifters. Zane had a PR in the bench press at 200 lbs, squatted 255 lbs, and cleaned 185 lbs.
Jeremiah Kirkland lifted in the 173 weight class. He ended 12th overall out 21 lifters. Jeremiah benched 185 lbs, squatted 285 lbs, and matched a PR in clean at 170 lbs.
Bryson Wilder lifted in the 132 weight class. He ended 15th overall out of 17 lifters. He bench 105 lbs, squatted 135 lbs, and cleaned 125 lbs.
Even though none of the Huskies scored points at the meet, they faired well against their weight class opponents. Every one of the boys said they were happy they went to compete. It was a long day in a warm gymnasium filled with lots of strong individuals. We got to see many State Record attempts at the meet.

Hey Huskies here is your weekly agenda for 4.20.26. We are in for a beautiful week!
Hey Huskies!! Here is your order of events for the HS Track Meet in Logan on 4.21.26. Good Luck Huskies!!
The Varsity Huskies traveled to Osborne on 4/14 for the Osborne Invitational. The team ended up finishing 7th place in a crowded field on a tough course. Gavin Thalheim led the way with a 93 for his best performance of the season putting him in 18th place. Conner David shot a 95 for 22nd place. Tait Thalheim shot a 102 to finish in 30th place and Owen Hammond had a tough day with a 120 putting him in 43rd place. Three of the four guys felt this was one to forget as they didn't play up to their abilities. But as anyone that has ever played the game knows, that's golf sometimes. Next up for the varsity side of things is Alma on the 21st- although three of them will be at a track meet that day. The full squad will be back in action on the 23rd for the Norton Invitational.
The JV squad kicked off their season, finally! On April 14th, they traveled out to Grinnell for the Thunderhawk invitational. There were 69 competitors at the Cow Paddy, but the competition moved along well. The 6 golfers that attended were Clay Van Patten, Audrey Mathews, Bryson Wilder, Jeremiah Kirkland, Jaden Johns, and Kylee Ledbetter. For four of the members, it was their first meet ever.
Bryson Wilder fared the best of the Huskies with a 55 for 27th place, Clay Van Patten shot a 56 for 32nd place, Audrey Mathews shot a 61 for 50th place, Jeremiah Kirkland shot a 68 for 59th place, Jaden Johns and Kylee Ledbetter tied with a 69 for 61st and 62nd place, with the tie going to Johns based on tiebreakers. Overall, I was happy with the group for getting out for the first time for many of them and competing. The team stayed positive, and as always, they look to improve at their next competition on April 16th in Oxford, NE.
