Happy Friday! Enjoy our third issue of Wolverine Weekly.
Good luck to the cross country team as they run at the Ipswich Invitational on Saturday September 13th starting at 10:00 am. The order for the races will be on the picture below.
The Selby-Herreid Wolverines had their first cross country meet of the year. This meet was at Redfield and there was a total of 34 teams. For the girls’ varsity race (which is a 5k run), there were 59 runners. Jentry Hubner (11th grade) got 16th place with a time of 21:01, breaking her old personal best time. Right behind her, Evelyn Shearer (11th grade) got 17th place with a time of 21:03. Brynnly Huber (9th grade) got 35th with a time of 23:03, and Anniah Russell (8th grade) got 48th with a time of 24:20.
For the boys’ varsity run, there were a total of 83 runners who participated. Gavin Hirsch (12th grade) got 2nd with a time of 16:30, breaking the Wolverines’ record by almost 30 seconds - only a few seconds away from the old Selby Lions record set back in 1974. Sam Ernst (9th grade) finished in 52nd place with a great time of 19:50, and Will Stiegelmeier (10th grade) finished in 82nd with a time of 24:01.
In the girls’ junior varsity race, which is a 4k run, Ella Perman (9th grade) finished in 18th place with a time of 18:05. In the boys’ junior varsity 4k, Jack Huffman (8th grade) finished 31st with a time of 16:50 and Faren Nelson (8th grade) finished in 47th place with a time of 18:46.
Great job to each of these students on the cross-country team. They will compete at the Hoven Golf Course for their next meet on Wednesday, September 10th.
