Coming into the 2023 2024 school year, there were certainly a number of high school athletes, locally, that had high expectations for themselves and their teams, but I don’t know that even the most extreme optimist could have envisioned the great successes enjoyed by those wearing our school colors this past year.

OMAHA - In one of the more memorable State Track and Field meets in some time, local athletes shined in Omaha this past weekend, accumulating 21 medals and even more hardware. At a meet where if you blinked, you might miss another record falling, the Southern Valley girls - with all of four athletes - captured another trophy on the school year, taking State Runner-Up.

OMAHA - Entering his senior track season, Cambridge’s Carson Trompke had decided it was his time. This past weekend, Trompke concluded his high school career with a pair of State Championships, winning both the 1,600 meter run and the 3,200 meter run.
