The zoo and more from the senior class trip
More pictures from the Senior class trip to Topeka
The Seniors along with Mr. Pugh and Mrs. Lowry headed to Topeka on March 25th and 26th. The class stopped at the World's Largest Ball of Twine in Cawker City before heading down the road to Abilene to tour the Dwight D. Eisenhower Museum. The class continued on to Topeka and toured the Capitol, starting with a dome tour. The dome tour takes visitors to the top of the Capitol building and out to see for miles. Some of the Seniors were hesitant due to the heights, but all 8 made it to the top! The class then had a historical tour of the building and learned about many aspects of Kansas history.
Following the tours, the class went to Skyzone Trampoline Park and enjoyed trampoline tag, dunking basketballs, playing video games, climbing rock walls, and obstacle courses. Following all of that, the class ate at Texas Roadhouse before heading to the pool at the hotel.
Thursday morning the class started off with shopping around Topeka and Starbucks. The class then headed to the Topeka Zoo and enjoyed the beautiful day. The class split after Chick-Fil-A for lunch for more shopping for some and the golf driving range for the others. After a long couple of days, the class headed back to Almena fighting a nasty wind the whole way home. Overall, it was a very good educational and fun experience for all involved.

TREGO POWERLIFTING MEET
March 7, 2026
Coach Cole;
The Huskies traveled to Wakeeney for their first powerlifting meet of the season. There were 4
girls and 10 boys that made the trip on Saturday morning to go compete against 309 other lifters
(75 girls and 234 boys). There were many Husky lifters that said they were nervous for the meet,
but all would do very well in their first real lifting competition setting. The Husky girls team
scored 36 points on the day led by Kylee Ledbetter who placed 3rd in bench, 4th in squat and clean
and overall in her weight class. Andrea Meraz took 5th in bench and 6th
in squat. Kathryn Speer
got 4th in bench, 3rd in squat, 4th in clean, and tied for 4th overall in her weight class. Brooke
Preston had a PR in the bench press with 100 lbs, Andrea Meraz had a PR of 105 lbs in the bench,
and Kylee Ledbetter had a PR of 90 lbs in the clean. Andrea Meraz had the best ratio of the NV
girls at 2.97, which was 27th out of 75 girls. The girls team placed 12th out of 27 teams, and overall
had a great day!
The Husky boys scored 7 points, all by Lucas Hansen. Lucas would bench press 190 lbs for a 6th
place point, and have an incredible 225 lbs clean to get a 3rd place medal. He failed 215 lbs, and
decided to go up to 225 lbs on his last attempt, it worked out. For the boys, Levi Black had a PR in
the clean at 125 lbs, Jeremiah Kirkland had a PR in the bench at 180 lbs, Griffin McKinney
matched his PR of 200 lbs in the clean, Christian McDonald had a PR in the squat at 260 lbs.
Multiple other boys were 5 lbs off of their personal bests, having a successful day. Lucas Hansen
was the only Husky to not get a successful attempt in for the Squat. He was able to squat 275 lbs
and 290 lbs, but both attempts were deemed non-parallel by the judges. After this meet, the
Huskies will be practicing LOWWWWEERR squat depth before the next powerlifting meet!
Lucas Hansen’s ratio of 4.54 put him 52nd out of 234 boys, and Zane Brown’s ratio of 4.07 put him
at 91st out of 234 boys.
I was very happy with all of the athletes effort on a Saturday morning, these meets are fun to go
to, and take a lot of commitment outside of the school week. I appreciate everyone that signed up
and made it to the bus on time! Thanks to Mr. Fes for driving the bus as well

On February 26th, the Northern Valley Junior High hosted its annual Scholars Bowl meet in Long Island. Attending this year were the Huskies, Stockton, Western Plains, Logan, Thunder Ridge, and Alma, NE. The Huskies did very well, taking second place in both the 7th and 8th grade divisions to Alma, who won both divisions. Both Husky teams were 4-1 on the day in round robin competition with their only losses coming to Alma.
In the 8th grade division, the Huskies scored a total of 375 points in 5 rounds! The team was led in points by Rowan Bremer with 195 points. Annika McKinney dominated the science category, accounting for 70 of her 110 on the day. Asher Van Patten added 40, Colt Rogers kicked in 20, and Tayah Seeders rounded out scoring for the Huskies with 10.
The 7th grade division was led for the Huskies by Inez Schemper with 140 points. Ryelyn Cox had another solid performance with 60 points and Colton Ledbetter (arguably the best dressed on the day) added the remaining 55 points for the team to bring in a solid total of 255 points.
The Huskies' Scholars Bowl season will come to an end at their final meet on March 5th in Phillipsburg.
