Good afternoon. We our hosting a couple of track meets in Eureka in the near future. One on Saturday, May 2nd, and one on Tuesday, May 5th. Hosting track meets requires many workers and volunteers. If anyone is interesting in volunteering to help run field events, measure events, or even just haul a javelin, discus, or shot put back and forth, we'd greatly appreciate any and all volunteers who would like to help. If interested, please get a hold of Nick Weismantel at 284-2875. Thank you!

On a chilly Saturday, April 25th, the Thunder athletes competed on the track and field in Ipswich, braving the cold as they put their skills to the test. It was a tough day for some and a great day for others, but everyone competed hard! The team came away with 26 place finishers and 9 personal records—an impressive showing despite the conditions. Go Thunder!

On Friday, April 24th, the North Central MS athletes had another cool and windy track meet, but they came to compete! The boys team came in 6th out of 13 teams and the girls team won the meet! Way to get out and compete! We had 32 place finishers and another 27 PRs on the day! Go Thunder!
