Thursday evening the Warriors traveled to Waverly, Wartburg college for the Iowa Star Conference meet. It was a bit windy but all in all a gorgeous day for a XC meet.

The JH girls started the meet off for the Warriors.. with 32 runners, the girls set their goals for the race...get out and stay upfront. Never losing sight of a Warrior jersey.
That they did. Right away Bree and Jaslynn were up front with the lead runner, Ellasyn was close behind, along with Martha and Tariah. Coming around the last turn before the home stretch, Bree was second with Jaslynn right at her shoulder, Coming down the stretch to the finish Bree put it into full speed trying to get the first place colo girl..Jaslynn staying right with her. They crossed the finish line receivng 2nd - Bree and 3rd- Jaslynn. Not far behind was Ellasyn in 6th place...Keeping the Warrior jersey insight Martha crossed the finish line in 15 and Tariah was right behind her. Bree, Jaslynn and Ellasyn all received top 10 conference honors..giving them the top 10 awards line up at the end of the day! The biggest reward of the day for the girls...they scored 25 points to become the Iowa Star Conference CHAMPIONS 2024!!! Not only did the Warriors have 3 individual awards...BUT a TEAM championship which included the Gold championship trophy!.....for the second year!! Check out the trophy in the trophy case!

In the JH boys race the gun went off and our two boys of Markelle and Howard took off. As the coaches watched the race, they noticed Markelle was in contention of conference honors...when Markelle hit the home stretch, the coaches encouraged (yelled) at him he needed to pass a group to receive a medal...Markelle shot off sprinting down the straight away toward the flags....passing 6 runners and received 9th place all conference honors..with a trip to the podium of top10 at the end of the meet!!! Howard ran the strongest race of the season and he finished 21 for the Warriors!!!

HS girls...our sole, dedicated athlete of Kaelonna ran a tough race, working hard to run strong hills and finishing so strong... She did an amazing job for the Warriors XC team.

HS boys...All year the guys have been able to run as a team...it's been fun to watch them improve throughout the season. Today the goal was to bump up in the team standing for the Warriors....To be put in the books as a team for Meskwaki..let along their own goals for the race.
Emery took off at a strong pace putting him in the upper half of 75 runners. Slowly he took runner after runner...coming up in the last mile he was in the top 20..in a group of runners...with coaches letting him know how close he was to conference honors...he worked hard and coming down the home stretch he got himself into 13th place...finishing the race just shy of conference honors...3 places out..dropping his time to competitive level for districts
Hagaa kept him in sight running a strong race, finishing 30, with his best time for a flat course. Running 3rd for the Warriors was senior Tenoch...keeping the Warrior jersey insight. Right behind him was Hepan...keeping the gap for team placing close. Izik was to follow, pouring it on at the end passing runners for his place.
The team improved in the placing....scoring a solid 7th place finish!

Congratulations Warriors...your season was very rewarding! Way to go.

Thursday Oct 24th the Varsity teams travel to Jewel, Iowa for district competition!
