The Northern Valley Varsity Golfers took on the Norton Invitational on April 23rd. The team competed against multiple MCL teams and a lot of very good high school golfers. The meet was won with a 68 (-2) by Easton Fink of Oakley. The rest of the field was full of very good complete teams. Oakley won the meet shooting a 332- a total of their lowest 4 individual scores of 6 golfers competing. Hill City came in second with a 337 and Goodland placed third with a 339.
The Huskies finished in 10th place as a team. The level of golf on our "home course" wasn't up to what we expected as a team going into it. We were 5-10 strokes per golfer too high across the board compared to where we should be shooting. There was some wind to contend with but that's nothing we haven't seen all season. The team looks to rebound and get back on track in the coming weeks.
Individual Results:
Conner David finished 42nd with a 97
Gavin Thalheim finished 45th with a 99
Tait Thalheim finished 52nd with a 106
Owen Hammond finished 59th with a 118
Audrey Mathews finished 60th with a 127
Clay Van Patten finished 61st with a 130
Looking ahead:
Seven Husky golfers will go to Alma on Tuesday, 4/28 for their 9-hole JV tournament.
Conner David will be the lone Husky headed to Ellis on Thursday, 4/30 for the Railroader 27- 27 holes of golf in one tournament.

Pre-School Night!
On April 21st, Conner David was the lone Husky golfer to represent the team at the Alma Invitational. The other Huskies that would have attended this highly competitive meet were fulfilling track commitments. There were 75 total golfers for the 10 am tee time. The day was warm to hot by the last five holes.
Conner played well for most of the day with 14 of the 18 holes resulting in pars and single bogeys but a few tee shots hit out of bounds and overshooting another green to go out of bounds led to extra strokes and penalty strokes that couldn't be overcome to get into medal contention. Conner finished 32nd out of 75 with a 96.
The next Husky competition will be the Varsity squad playing their home course at Norton on April 23rd.

The JV Huskies Golf Team headed to Oxford, NE for the Southern Valley Invitational JV Tournament on April 16th. As with many JV tournaments, there were 9 holes as opposed to the varsity meets with the full 18. The team faced a different type of course than their first meet earlier in the week. The Huskies had many of their first opportunities to play in thick grass and play up and down hills.
The team was a part of a 29-golfer field as the only Kansas team. It was a learning experience with new challenges in course management and trying to stay consistent with ball striking. The meet was won with a 42 by an Alma golfer and no team score was kept. The Huskies shot higher than they wanted but still had a nice warm day to play some golf.
Clay Van Patten- 61- 17th place, Bryson Wilder- 65- 22nd place, Malikiah Hitt- 70- 24th place, Jeremiah Kirkland- 73- 26th place, Jaden Johns- 76- 28th place, Kylee Ledbetter- 86- 29th place.

Coach Cole;
The Huskies had their final powerlifting meet on April 18. Clay Van Patten, Zane Brown, Jeremiah Kirkland, and Bryson Wilder attended the 8-Man State Meet at Central Plains High School in Claflin, KS. There were 358 total lifters, 48 boys teams, and 32 girls teams. Of all the teams, there were seven 6-Man schools competing amongst the 8-Man schools.
Clay Van Patten lifted in the HWT class. He ended 18th overall out of 32 lifters. Clay benched 165 lbs, squatted 315 lbs, and cleaned 175 lbs.
Zane Brown lifted in the 165 weight class. He ended 18th overall out of 33 lifters. Zane had a PR in the bench press at 200 lbs, squatted 255 lbs, and cleaned 185 lbs.
Jeremiah Kirkland lifted in the 173 weight class. He ended 12th overall out 21 lifters. Jeremiah benched 185 lbs, squatted 285 lbs, and matched a PR in clean at 170 lbs.
Bryson Wilder lifted in the 132 weight class. He ended 15th overall out of 17 lifters. He bench 105 lbs, squatted 135 lbs, and cleaned 125 lbs.
Even though none of the Huskies scored points at the meet, they faired well against their weight class opponents. Every one of the boys said they were happy they went to compete. It was a long day in a warm gymnasium filled with lots of strong individuals. We got to see many State Record attempts at the meet.
