“Pandemic” . . .
The word will forever be connected with the 2020-2021 school year. Across the nation, some schools have never opened up for the school year.
In Nebraska . . . the pandemic did have a considerable impact, but nothing close to what many parts of the nations had.
‘In-person’ classes were held and the high school sports were pretty much on schedule. That includes track and golf this spring.
With the usual Nebraska Spring weather to contend with, the athletic events are slowly coming upon the students. A run-down of students and event schedules are as follows:
Track: Head coach, Preston Hild, assisted by Sheila McCartney, Randi Fox and Logan Schnitker. They will assist 14 boys and 13 girls this spring.
