Our OHS Cross Country team traveled to Memphis, Tennessee Friday to run in the Memphis Twilight Classic that took place last night. They hit several landmarks on their trip, including visiting Elvis Presley's Graceland home.
In this meet, there were 37 full boys' teams. The Dutchmen took 22nd place as a team. They were led by Jr. Zachary Holtmeyer, who ran 16:25 for the 5k race. He was a medalist finishing 15th out of 283 runners. For reference sake, Carter Brocato holds the school record 5k time with his time at the state meet in 2016, where he ran 16:23. Only times at the state meet qualify for the school record. Holtmeyer's 16:25 is the 3rd fastest overall 5k performance in school history behind Brocato's 2016 state meet, and his 16:10 at the 2015 Missouri Southern Stampede.
On the girls' side, there were 36 full teams. The Dutchgirls took 30th place. They were led by Sr. Hannah Gehlert, who ran 20:53.
Reminder, no school tomorrow for GCR2. Enjoy your Labor Day! We are excited to see all our students back on Tuesday!
Yesterday was our first district-wide 'Stop, Drop, and Read!' It was a beautiful day for a nice read indoors or outside!
In the graphic, you will see the phone numbers of the different buildings in our district. We encourage you to save the numbers as contacts in your phone for two reasons:
1. If you need to contact the school for any reason, it is right at your fingertips.
2. If a building line were to call out to you, it doesn't pop up and look like an unknown number.
