From Coach Crothers:
The West Union Invitational last night was a very competitive meet. The boys finished 4th as a team and both teams had a handful of medalists!
For the Boys:
Elijah Gammon - 3rd Long Jump
Cooper Meade - 3rd 200 Dash
The 4x100 consisting of Elijah Gammon, Aidan Arrasmith, Wyatt Stepp, and Cooper Meade - 3rd
Wyatt Smart - 2nd Discus
For the Girls:
Katie Myers 200 Dash - 3rd & Long Jump - 3rd
Separately, we have a school record broken! Wyatt Smart with a throw of 138’ in Discus broke the record that’s been held since 2002, the previous record as a distance of 131’ 10 1/2” by Adam Myers. Wyatt has been working towards this since last season so I am super proud that he finally was able to break it!

and our 4x200 finished 4th as well.
We run again on 4/9 at the RL Davisson Invitational at Southeastern HS.
📣 4th Quarter = Let’s Finish Strong!
As we begin the 4th quarter, it’s the perfect time for a fresh start and a renewed focus on attendance. Every single day in school matters for student learning, relationships, and future success.
📊 Did you know?
A student is considered chronically absent if they miss 10% of the school year—that’s just 2 days per month. Under Ohio law, all absences count (excused and unexcused).
🎯 STRIVE FOR 5 — Every Day Counts!
Students should miss no more than 5 days all year, if possible.
💡 How families can help:
✔️ Make daily attendance a priority
✔️ Call the school within 1 hour of the start of the day if your child is absent
✔️ Send a written note, email, or doctor’s slip when your child returns — NOTES are REQUIRED
✔️ If your family is planning a vacation during the school year, it must be approved by the building principal at least 1 week in advance
✔️ Reach out if challenges arise — we are here to help and support your family
📚 When students are here, they are learning, growing, and building their future. Let’s work together to make this final quarter our strongest yet!
