Western Kansas Liberty League – Junior High Track Meet – 2025
Coach Cole;
The Northern Valley Junior Huskies traveled to Logan on Thursday morning to compete in the league track meet. This would end up being the windiest track meet of the season, but the wind would help the team to multiple personal bests on the day. Going into the track meet, I made a heat sheet and would predict that we would score 73 points and get 4th place at the meet if everything panned out. At the end of the meet, the boys would end with 69 points and tie for 3rd place! We had an excellent day, and I was very proud of all the boys hard work. This was a great track season, and I am very excited for next year. The boys team sported throwback uniforms from 2005.

We had 10 girls: two sixth graders, six seventh graders, and two eighth graders, competing as a team. The girls continue to improve their times, distances and heights but unfortunately, we were not able to score many points.
The only athlete to place in the top six was Cambrie Sproul in the 100m hurdles placing sixth.

The Junior Huskies traveled to Cambridge, NE for their 6th track meet of the season. This had been the first time in 20 years that the Huskies competed in a Nebraska track meet. The order of running events was a little different, there was no javelin, no 3200, and no 4x200 relay. Nonetheless the Huskies competed hard and quite a few athletes had successful days. On the boys side, we scored 28 points, and we had 9 personal records on the day. The best personal record of the day came from Max Wilder as he ran a 6:05.66 mile, which was a PR by 8 seconds. Cash Compton took home another gold medal in the 200 Hurdles, and had his best race all season, he met every hurdle in perfect stride and flew to the finish line.

Northern Valley Middle School Girls Track
The Northern Valley Middle School traveled to Quinter, KS for a very competitive track meet on a chilly, breezy day. Sixth, seventh, and eighth graders competed as one team against 16 other schools making it difficult for sixth graders to place, however, we focus on setting new personal records rather than team scores.
The only event to place in the top six was our 800-meter relay team consisting of Shelby Lentz, Cambrie Sproul, Annika McKinney, and Brielle Britton with fourth place.

On May 6th, the Husky golfers took on the Norton JV meet. There were 55 golfers on the day, and the 3 Huskies all did very well. The course was set up to eliminate some of the hazards of the course for keeping the pace of play moving and allow the mostly younger field to get some valuable experience. Robert Vsetecka shot a 45 and took 2nd place overall. Conner David wasn't far behind with a 47 to place him 6th. Audrey Mathews had her best meet of the year and reached her goal of shooting below 60 with a 58 and finishing 25th.
The Huskies next meet will be the final JV competition in Plainville on May 8th at the JV Showcase for 18 holes and a chance at “the jacket”.
