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)

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.

The Northern Valley Husky Golfers took on the JV meet held in Alma, NE on April 29th. The meet, like most JV meets, was a 9-hole competition. In total, there were 57 participants with the Huskies bringing three. Robert Vsetecka led the Huskies shooting a 49, but had a really bad hole where he took a circle-10 which eliminated him from medal contention. Robert's 49 tied had him for 7th. The circle-10 rule is meant to speed up play when a player reaches ten strokes on a hole and is not finished, they pick up their ball and move to the next hole. Outside of that one hole, he played good golf the whole day.
Conner David shot a 53 that put him in 16th place on the day. Conner, strangely enough, had his only circle-10 of the day on the same hole as Robert. He also had a pretty good day, outside of that one hole.
Audrey Mathews shot a 64 which placed her 30th in the middle of the pack for the day. She had a consistent day and holds bragging rights over the boys for finishing that pesky Hole #5. She continues to work and improve her game each week.
The Huskies next competition will be the JV meet at Norton on May 6th.
