💜🐾 CL JONES RUNNERS COMPETE STRONG AT THE MINDEN INVITATIONAL! 🐾💜
Our CL Jones boys and girls represented Minden extremely well Saturday at the Minden Invitational. The middle school races took place during the warmest part of the meet, with temperatures approaching 80 degrees, high humidity, and almost no wind. Despite the difficult conditions, our runners competed with toughness and determination!
BOYS — FIFTH-PLACE TEAM FINISH
The CL Jones boys placed fifth in an incredibly close nine-team competition. Only 16 points separated first through sixth place, and the Whippets finished just five points out of fourth!
💜 Gideon Warner led the team with an outstanding fifth-place finish in 11:31. Gideon competed near the front throughout the race and gave CL Jones an excellent opening score.
💜 Logan Grollmes finished 13th in 12:12, giving the Whippets another strong performance near the front of the field.
💜 Dominic Cervantes placed 25th in 12:58 and provided an important third score for the team.
💜 Jax Aschenbrenner finished 28th in 13:07, completing the four-runner team score.
💜 Liam Collins crossed the finish line immediately behind Jax, placing 29th in 13:07. Only one-quarter of a second separated the two teammates!
💜 Zander Sinsel placed 36th in 13:29, adding valuable depth to a strong CL Jones lineup.
The boys demonstrated excellent team running, with all six finishing among the top 36 in a field of 65 runners!
GIRLS — A STRONG INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE
💜 Josie Graham represented CL Jones in the girls’ race and delivered an excellent performance, placing 13th in 14:17. Josie competed hard against a field of 45 runners and earned a well-deserved top-15 finish!
We are extremely proud of the effort, attitude, and perseverance shown by all seven CL Jones runners. They competed hard in challenging conditions, supported one another, and represented their school and community with pride.
Congratulations on a great day of racing!

BOYS — A STRONG TEAM EFFORT
The Minden boys placed seventh in a large and competitive field. Twelve Whippets completed the challenging race, competing hard and representing Minden well on their home course.
💜 Gage Thull led the Whippets with an outstanding eighth-place medal in 17:45, competing near the front of a very talented field.
💜 Isaac Reed placed 23rd in 18:42 and delivered a solid performance as Minden’s second runner.
💜 Trystan Sharkey finished 33rd in 19:09, providing another important score for the team.
💜 Seth Jacobitz completed Minden’s four-runner team score, placing 43rd in 19:52 and breaking 20 minutes despite the difficult conditions.
💜 Blake Boudreau placed 49th in 20:16 as our fifth runner, continuing to gain valuable varsity experience.
💜 Landon Grollmes finished 74th in 21:39 and competed hard throughout his opportunity to race on the home course.
💜 Frank Kovacs placed 76th in 21:56, continuing to work through the challenging conditions with determination.
💜 Brantley Wright finished 78th in 22:18 and gained more experience that will benefit him throughout his freshman season and beyond.
💜 Elijah Warner placed 89th in 23:44, representing the Whippets with toughness and perseverance.
💜 Lucas Baughman finished 96th in 24:57, completing a demanding 5K and gaining important experience on the home course.
💜 Jonathan Althouse placed 98th in 25:10 and demonstrated the determination and commitment expected from a senior Whippet.
💜 Lucas “Luke” Werner finished 105th in 27:33. Completing a difficult race in challenging conditions takes courage, and Luke continued battling all the way through the finish.
Although they were unable to compete Saturday, Holt Aschenbrenner, Jack Widdifield, and Steven Rhodes remain important members of this team. We look forward to having them healthy and back in the lineup.
Saturday gave both teams an opportunity to compete, learn, and grow. We are proud of every athlete who stepped onto the course—as well as those who supported their teammates from the sidelines.
The season is still young, there is plenty of work ahead, and these Whippets are only getting started!

💜🐾 MINDEN GIRLS SHINE AT THEIR HOME INVITATIONAL! 🐾💜
Saturday was a special day for the Minden girls’ cross country team. In warm, humid, and nearly windless conditions, our Whippets competed with tremendous toughness and finished runner-up by just one point to preseason No. 1 Adams Central, 46–47!
Minden entered the season unranked but finished ahead of preseason No. 2 Gothenburg, No. 3 Milford, and No. 10 Kearney Catholic. Six Whippets placed among the first 21 runners in a very talented field!
💜 Alexa Warner led the team with a sixth-place medal in 20:28. Alexa continues to provide strong senior leadership and gave us the important low number we needed at the front of the race.
💜 Aclynn Osterbuhr delivered an outstanding performance, placing 13th in 21:20 as our second runner. We are especially proud of the confidence, courage, and determination she showed throughout this race.
💜 Adelyn Whitten ran another tough and dependable race, finishing 15th in 21:27. She competed hard from start to finish and gave our scoring group another important performance.
💜 Regan Johnson placed 16th in 21:39 and completed our four-runner team score. Stepping into this type of varsity competition as a freshman and contributing immediately says a great deal about her ability and composure.
💜 Evie Sharkey finished 19th in 21:49, giving us an excellent fifth runner. Her performance demonstrated the depth of this team and would have been extremely important in a tiebreaker.
💜 Gemma Fritson crossed the line only five seconds behind Evie, placing 21st in 21:54. Gemma’s strong freshman performance gave Minden six runners among the top 21!
💜 Emerson Kuehn battled through the difficult conditions and finished 34th in 23:07. She continues to gain valuable varsity experience and will be an important part of this team as the season progresses.
💜 Kinsey Morey was held out because of a minor injury. As much as every athlete wants to compete at the home meet, protecting her health and the remainder of her season was the right decision. Kinsey remained an important and supportive part of the team throughout the day.
Alexa through Regan scored the 47 team points, while Evie, Gemma, and Emerson showed just how much depth and potential this group possesses. Having five runners separated by only 34 seconds—from Aclynn through Gemma—is a tremendous strength.
The girls did not win the trophy Saturday, but they proved something important: Minden belongs among the best teams in Class C.
We are incredibly proud of every one of these young women—their effort, toughness, support for one another, and the way they represented Minden on their home course.
The season is still young, and this group is only getting started!

A simple reminder that every student brings something unique to our art room and that every piece matters.

The high school volleyball team will be traveling to McCook Community College tonight for a triangular with McCook at 5 pm and Chase County around 6 pm. You can watch the stream or listen live if you are not able to attend.
Congrats to the JV football team on their win last night over Cozad. They were able to score the only touchdown of the game with less than a minute to go.
