Frost covered the course as our Spartans arrived at Maple Lane Country Club for their IHSA Cross Country Sectional Championship in Elmwood.

Abby Litwiller and Cam Lawson finished out the scoring positions within one second of one another in 20:29 and 20:30. Anna Bieber pushed to a 20:59, and Kaylie Dare finished in 23:28. On the boys’ side, Logan Demling paced the Spartan runners in 16:42. Caden Clark grinded out a 17:04. Cooper Phillips and C.J. Moore ended the race two seconds from one another in 17:32 and 17:34.

OHS students are learning to weld (or practicing) with this virtual reality welding machine. Amazing technology that our kids have access to due to the machine being shared with Oly for the semester.
