Golf and Track - a Busy Season!

 With 2 kids in golf and another one in JH track, we had a busy spring!  Delaney learned that she loves track, thriving on the personal challenge of getting better each week. She competed in the same 3 events at each meet: HJ, 100 M Hurdles, and the Medley Relay. PRs included: 4'0" in HJ and 18.18 seconds in the hurdles. That time actually broke Jenna's week-old school record for one week! The following week, Jenna took it back. It was fun to watch them challenge each other!  Other highlights from the season came at the league track meet - 2nd in the hurdles, 3rd in HJ, and 1st in the Medley relay. The 6th7th grade girls finished in first place, making them league champions!

One of Delaney's first-ever attempts at HJ!

Looks like a good handoff to Isabelle

Cambry enjoyed her season of golf, competing in 3 meets. There was supposed to be a 4th one, but it was cancelled due to weather. She improved a great deal this year, and even came in 4th at one of the scramble tournaments with her partner, Luke, at Papa's golf course!   We were grateful for the fun she had with the other girls!

4th place with Luke (Chevy was 1st at that meet)

Good times with Coach Lindeman

Caiden finished his high school golf career on a high note! Individually, he placed FIRST at two golf meets, he was the league runner-up, the team finished 1st or 2nd at every meet (except regionals and state), they were Wheat State League Champions, and they made it to the state golf meet as a team this year! 

The state meet was at Hesston on May 23, 2022 - a course that Caiden is very familiar with! It was supposed to be a 2-day tournament, but because of rain, the 2nd day was cancelled. So, after the first day, the team finished in 6th place (good enough to advance to the 2nd day), and Caiden was in 20th - just sneaking in for a medal! His front 9 was amazing (until the 9th hole), and then his back 9 just couldn't match it. He had high hopes of doing better than a 91, and he feels like a 2nd day would have helped him move up...but that's golf! There are good rounds and not-so-good rounds. We are definitely proud of the work he put into getting himself better over the last 4 years, and we certainly enjoyed all the miles we walked while watching him and the team!

Ready for tee-off at state

State tee-off (he actually teed off twice, but thankfully,
found the first ball, which had hit a moving golf cart and 
bounced in-bounds!)

State team: Kyle, Chevy, Caiden, Noah, Jake

Noah - 4th place; Caiden - 20th place

Pre-Christmas Surprise

 On Dec. 22, I woke up to Caiden not feeling well. In fact, he said he hadn't ever felt the kind of pain he was experiencing that morning. Reluctantly, I made an appointment. Long story, short - it was good he complained because he ended up having his appendix out that afternoon! It must have been at the very beginning stages and thankfully hadn't burst. So, we were in and out of the hospital by midnight that night. Maybe the worst part about the whole thing is that his wisdom teeth surgery had to be postponed since it was supposed to be the very next week. He'll go back to school minus an appendix, but still having his wisdom teeth until February 16! Pre-op Post-op

Spring Art

While Mrs. Schmidt was away on maternity leave during the spring, Mr. Novak (from Hesston) filled in for her. Since Cambry has her first 3 class periods in the art room, she got to know him very well and he mentioned several times how he appreciated Cambry's artistic style and way of thinking. He even let her paint a little bit on his own pieces! Cambry took several pieces to the WSL art festival in April. She came home with a first place finish in the graphic design category and an honorable mention in the computer design category. We are so thankful for the instruction she has received over the last 4 years in Goessel. Now, on to Hesston College with Professor Cross!

July Highlights

July was a slow, meandering stroll through mid-summer. Slow as it was, there were some highlights: Lots of raspberries to pick - what a delight! Kenya continues to grow and learn how to take walks: Delaney loved her week at Camp Menno! Delaney and Jenna attended the KSU Volleyball camp: All 5 of us were in the SAME place at the SAME time to attend a beautiful wedding! Cambry found success at the Marion Co. Fair one last time with 4 purples and 1 red on her photos. Two of those purples turned into a Reserve Grand Champion and Grand Champion in her respective classes. Fun fact, as an assistant, she sat with her future art professor as he judged photos! Delaney and I were "guest readers" at the little kids' Splish Splash Party at church: Last but not least - the Paris Olympics started! We watched the opening ceremony at Vanessa's. I took an olympic flag fruit pizza to share with everyone: Next up: a busy month of transitions!
