Track and Field Announcement 

The Track and Field teams had a meet last night at Marshall.  

Both teams brought home the W with the boys defeating the Redhawks with a score of 98 to 64.  

The boys swept the pole vault led by Zach Krebs with Carson Gardener, and Connor O’Connell clearing the bar.  

The dynamic duo of Johnson and Yancer brought home another silver and gold in the shot put.

Josh Ilgenfritz lept his way into first in the 55 and 200 meter hurdles with Jojo Ruble taking third in both.  

The team of Torres, Ilgenfritz, Randol, and Chapman set the school record in the 4 by 200 with a time of 1 minute, 41 point 79 seconds! 

Randol also took the gold in the 70 and high jump, setting PR’s in both.

Torres crossed the finish line before the competition in the 200, and Chapman set a PR with a victory in the 100.

Gavin and Asher Bartlett finished first and second in the long jump.

Bartlett also skated his way to victory in the mile supported by Ruble in a close second.  

Finally, Logyn Katsarsky had the night of his life coming from behind to win the 2 mile race and absolutely crushing the 800 meter run and setting the school record.  

Fantastic job, boys.  They’ll look to continue their streak against Parma Western next week on Wednesday.  Good luck!

Harper Creek Middle School came in to existence in September of 2005.  The school, previously known as Harper Creek Junior High School and located at the corner of Beadle Lake Road and B Drive North, included grades 7-8, and the elementary schools housed grades K-6.  In the fall of 2005, fifth and sixth graders moved from Beadle Lake Elementary, Sonoma Elementary, and Wattles Park Elementary to the newly renovated Harper Creek Middle School.  Beginning in the fall of 2006, grades 5-8 are now all housed in the Harper Creek Middle School (the old Harper Creek High School building).

Harper Creek Middle School is a positive learning environment designed to address the needs of fifth through eighth grade students.  Our middle school provides students with many opportunities to develop academic skills, acquire fundamental knowledge, determine their interest and special talents, and experience a sense of belonging.  We focus on helping students satisfy their need for close relationships with teachers and friends, while moving toward greater independence.  Students do this with the understanding support of professional educators who recognize and respond to their individual needs.
