A special, bittersweet moment for one of our seniors, Nina Torkelson. • Nina competed in her final events as a Bear at the RVC Meet yesterday. No better way than going out with a lifetime PR in the 1500 & running a PR split in the 4x800. Thanks for your leadership, Nina. 🐻❤️

At Friday’s RVC Conference meet in Monticello, 🚨 FRESHMAN 🚨 Grace Hamann set the West Branch High School school record in the 1500 previously held by Lindsey Bruns (2012), running a time of 4:53.37!!! Congratulations, Grace! 📸 cred: Matthew Dickinson West Branch Times

🍔 THIS WEDNESDAY NIGHT 🍔 It’s Short's Eastside Community Night! Short’s Burgers will be sharing 15% of ALL proceeds with the West Branch track programs! Let’s reciprocate their support of area athletic & extracurricular activities by making dinner plans for Wednesday at Shorts!

With 13 seconds left in the second overtime, Joe Hamann puts it in the back of the net to end the game 2-1. A fantastic game that you would expect from a number 1 vs number 2.

The Bears will remain the #1 team in class 1A! An incredible game in Iowa City as WBHS Boys Soccer scores the golden goal with 13 seconds left in OT. The Bears topple Regina for the first time ever, and win the program's first RVC title.
