Well Done Cross Country! The boys and girls cross country teams competed in the Blackshirt challenge this weekend. The girls kicked off the meet placing 4th overall out of 14 teams, led by Lola Schwartz, Anniston Ricks, Syd Loehrl, Makenna Holzhauer, and Kennedy Kiesgen. The boys then took 1st place with a 27-second spread for the scoring 5: Ryan Montes de Oca, Graham Kelchen, Isaac Kirby, Cole Mirek, and Carter Schroeder. Both teams head to Mukwonago next Friday for their next meet!

Lady Lasers Sweep The Competition! The Lady Lasers went 4-0 against a slate of Madison competitors, losing only one match in each contest! Senior Josie Sueflohn, Junior Freya Pardeyke, Freshmen Elizabeth Spence & Alexa Darin, and Seniors Katie Ioder & Abigail Ioder all went UNDEFEATED throughout the entire Invitational! It was a late night on Day 1, with the girls playing their first match starting at Noon and finishing their second match at 7 pm, after a lengthy rain delay. However, due to their grit and determination, they turned around less than 11 hours later and played their next two opponents, at 9 am and Noon, respectively. This caps off a week of undefeated tennis by your Lady Lasers, going 6-0 in contests throughout the week! Come support them as they look to continue their dominance this week, playing two Classic 8 Conference contests, at Mukwonago on Tuesday and vs. Oconomowoc (at home) on Thursday!

“FOREVER LOVE IT” SUPPORTS THE INCLUSION OF STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES! Bobby Heckel believes every child deserves the chance to enjoy the joy and benefits of sports, regardless of their ability. His passionate belief stems from his grandmother Ila’s profound love and persistent support for him as she helped him learn to walk, talk, and develop to the point where he could play sports, something he had always dreamed of despite his cerebral palsy. Yesterday, a 50/50 raffle was held at a Dockhounds game, and the raffle winner was a KM family whose son played baseball at KMHS. They chose to support Adaptive PhyEd at KMHS with their $400 winnings! THANK YOU Bobby and our winning KM Family!
