After a great visit with Coach Delp and Coach Wildermuth, I am excited to announce that I have committed to Augustana College to further my academic career and to play men’s basketball!

Great showing from out AHS throwing crew at the LPC track meet Friday! Shelby Roberts McGeehon 2nd place in discus, Hayden Gauna 5h place in shot, and Gael Elizondo with a big PR and 3rd place.

Congratulations to Braden and Gael on continuing their athletic careers in college. Gael will be playing football at Monmouth College Football and Braden will be playing basketball and running track Millikin University Athletics .

For our end of the year celebration the AHS track hit the course for some competitive putt putt. Rumor has it Tanner Thomas dethroned coach Eddleman as the putt putt champion. Unfortunately the official score card was lost so we’ll have to call it a tie.

Congratulations to our boys 4x1 who placed 4th with a blistering time of 42.96
