Last night the lower school golf team took 2^nd place in a three team tournament.  Their team score of 239 was their lowest score of the season.  Cadet Grant was the Medalist for the match, shooting a round of 41.  Cadet Bedke was 6^th with a round of 45.  D’Anniballe, Jones and Wenzel rounded out the scoring with a 50, 51, and 52 respectively.

Last night the lower school track team took on Fremont in a dual meet between two pretty evenly matched teams.  The lower school lost 41-67, mostly due to the fact that we do not compete in pole vault and so, got swept in that event.  The events that we did compete in, we were very competitive in.  Scoring for Howe yesterday were:

 

David Bedke – 1^st in Long Jump (15’0”), 3^rd 400 Dash (1:12 – A personal best)

Last Thursday the Lower School track team took on Fairfield and Central Noble in a huge double dual tournament.  We started at 4:45 and didn’t finish until almost 8:00.  It was cold, and we had a lot of down time, but the team did a very solid job against much bigger competition.  Athletes scoring in this double dual were:

Last night the lower school track team took on the elements, illness, and Fairfield and Prairie Heights in a double dual meet at Prairie Heights.  We were shorthanded, as Kyle Boyles, John Kincaid, Mike Grady, and Jonathan Malone each missed some or all of their events due to injury or illness.  The final score of the meets have not yet been tallied, as Prairie Heights is still sorting them out and will mail the results to us sometime, but we do know a few of the team members who placed last night.
