As part of our Spring curriculum in Preschool, students learn about insects and what makes a "bug" an insect. Ranger Theresa from the US Army Corps of Engineers was with us last week and shared her knowledge about insects with preschool students and some of her collections. In the classroom, students have watched the metamorphosis over the last couple of months as larvae have become Ladybugs and caterpillars have become butterflies. This week and next, classrooms will release their insects based on their maturity.
Congratulations to Beau Sackman and Jonathan Kirk on last night's District Championship win. The Pioneer Boys traveled to Chelan for the District Finals and came away with a 4-6, 6-0, 7-5 victory over Cascade. Sackman and Kirk will head into the State Tournament in Yakima next week as a #1 seed out of the CTL.
The Pioneer Track and Field team headed to Cashmere last night to compete at the district meet and have a chance to qualify for the state championship meet next weekend.
We ended the night with 6 individuals qualifying in 7 events. The top 2 athletes in each event qualified for state.
Lady Pioneer Qualifiers:
Syreni Sandoval in the 3200m 1st place (13:21.16)
Ava Freese in the 1600m 2nd place (5:59.23)
Kiona Michele in the Shot Put 2nd place (30'5")
Kamdin Carlton in the High Jump 1st place (4'10")
Men Pioneer Qualifiers:
Awston Clark in the 400m 2nd (52.77)
Kaiden Devereaux in the High Jump 2nd (5'10") and the Javelin 2nd (144'4")
Kaiden Devereaux's performance was the highlight of the night. He not only qualified in 2 events but also placed 4th in both the 4x100 relay and the triple jump. His dedication and hard work paid off, with all his events resulting in new personal records, except for the high jump where he tied his old record and narrowly missed 6'0" for a new one. His achievements should inspire us all to strive for our best.
As a team, we ended the night with 26 season-best times or distances, and both the boys' and girls' teams placed third in team points.
The Omak coaching staff was very pleased with the night's outcome, and we're excited to be taking 6 athletes to Yakima next weekend for the State Championships.
