NVHS Head Track Coach
As the FFA year comes to an end for the summer Maverick Rogers was the only student to attend the 97th Kansas State FFA Convention. We walked around and talked to vendors at the career fair and went to a couple of sessions. We might have been the smallest chapter at convention, but we are still putting our name out there and learning how to improve our chapter!
Robert Vsetecka represented Northern Valley at 1A State Golf at Mariah Hills Golf Course in Dodge City. The tournament took the top three teams from each of the 4 Regional tournaments and five individuals; Robert qualified as one of the five individuals from the St. Francis Regional for the Huskies.
Robert and Coach Mitch Pugh traveled down on Monday, May 26th to play a practice round but were rained out after 6 holes. The rest of the time in Dodge City would be similar.
Golfers began teeing off at 9 am with Robert beginning on hole 10 at 9:10 am. To begin day one, 12 teams of 6 golfers and a collection of individual golfers brought the total number to 93 competitors. Robert had an overall good round on the first day of action shooting a 91 at +20. There was about a three hour wait to see where the cut off for day two would fall. Robert tied as one of the final qualifiers for day two with his 91 score.
Day 2 was pushed to a shotgun start at 9:30 to attempt to avoid rain in the forecast. The start would inevitably be pushed back to 11 am after lightning strikes and more rainfall. Robert started from hole 18 and worked his way around the course. While the rain added some challenges, Robert didn't shoot as well and shot a 99.
Robert's two-day total was a 190 that put him in 38th place. It was a solid finish for the Senior in his final competition. Congratulations to Robert on a successful Senior campaign!

Hey Husky fans! Here is the schedule and some other important information for State Track. See you bright and early in Cessna Friday!

Then on May 15th the Huskies traveled to Logan finishing out their regular season competing in the WKLL League Track Meet. “League is always a fun track meet. Athletes get competitive and are willing to compete in new events to try to win the league plaque. Unfortunately, we came up short this year, but we ended the season on a high note setting another 4 PRs making 44 PRs set for the season. This group of kids worked hard each week to improve personally in every event.” (Coach Hansen)

Here is the information for the Oberlin track meet today. Good luck tracksters, Go Big Green!
The Husky Golf Team had Regionals at St Francis this year with a chance to punch a ticket to state competition. The top three teams at Regionals get to go by having the lowest score of the top four scorers from that team. The Huskies with only three members on the team, could only send golfers to state if they filled in the next five at-large spots to golfers not on one of the top three teams.
Senior Robert Vsetecka shot a 91 at +21 to earn his way to State 1A Golf at Dodge City!
Conner David came close with a 95 at +25 after a couple of frustrating holes that ended his season. Conner had shown a lot of growth as a Sophomore and has a lot of golf left over the next couple years.
Audrey Mathews had a rough day but kept going to finish out her season with a 145 at +75. Although she didn't finish how she'd like to, she kept a good attitude and that's a win somedays on the golf course.
Robert will travel with Coach Pugh down to Dodge City for a practice round on May 26th and the first round begins May 27th at 9 am at Mariah Hills Golf Course.
