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.

Northern Valley Middle School Girls Track
Coach Emily Lowry’s Comments: On April 14, 2026, the Northern Valley Middle School track teams competed in their first track meet of the year at Oberlin’s NW KS Pre-League meet with 11 other schools and a total of 335 athletes. This was a beautiful day for running, jumping, and throwing. It was a big meet, but the Lady Huskies competed well, setting numerous personal records and supporting each other. Inez Schemper had a great day scoring 8 out of the 18 total points with third place in her javelin and fifth in discus. Cambrie Sproul took fourth in high jump and Ryelyn Cox took fourth in pole vault. I am excited to see how the girls compete in Logan next week.

Oberlin JH Track Meet – April 14, 2026
Coach Ross Cole;
The Junior Huskies traveled to Oberlin on April 14 to compete in a 12 team track meet, labeled the Northwest Kansas Pre-League Meet, with 335 athletes in attendance. All seven NWKL teams plus five WKLL teams competed. All the husky tracksters enjoyed an unusual 85 degree day as this may have been the best weather we have had for an opening track meet. Many personal records were broken, and all the 6th graders found out what a track meet entails. Overall, I was pleased with our girls and boys performances at this large meet and look forward to the Logan Invitational on April 21. I would like to thank 8th grader Max Wilder for practicing hard and competing at Oberlin, his season is over due to ankle/foot surgery.
