*Reminder* Girl's Basketball Camp is starting Monday, June 3rd. It's not too late to sign up!

Congrats to the OHS guys' track team members that competed at the state meet this past Friday and apologies for this not being posted earlier. Even though the performances fell short of some of their own expectations, the experiences will prove to be valuable down the road for the young crew of athletes that competed at Charleston on the big blue track at Eastern Illinois University. Spartan competitors included Nolen Yeary finishing 26th in the shot put(46'9.5"); Chase Ragar finishing thirty seventh in the triple jump (39'9"), Cohen Alexander finishing 28th in the 400(53.28); Kaden Wilcox, Kaleb Jacobs, Cooper Phillips, and Tyler Gellner finishing 37th in the 4x400 relay(3:47.21); and Keagan Uphoff finishing 11th in the 110 hurdles(missing finals by 0.15 seconds), and qualifying for finals in the high jump and 300 hurdles. Great job guys on an incredible season and the Olympia community is very proud of you!

Great job Keagan Uphoff, for earning a 4th place medal in the 300 hurdles at the IHSA Class 2A state track meet today at Charleston! He also placed 10th in the high jump. What a fantastic high school track career!

It was a bitter sweet end to the 23/24 track season at IHSA State meet in Charleston yesterday. Even though no one made it out of prelims these girls have had a heck of a season and should be proud of themselves. It was amazing they made it and got to experience State. For those that are back next year I hope it keeps them wanting more and to return to Charleston next year. To the seniors, I wish you all the best as you keep moving towards your new goals!
