By Ben Otte Co-Editor-In-Chief The first-ever Kan Jam Tournament took place at Red Lion on Dec. 13 in the high school’s old gymnasium. Eight teams participated and battled each other in Round Robin matchups determining seeding for teams in single elimination. Mr. Small of the English department and Ms. Arvanites of the Math department combined skills to claim the tournament crown after topping seniors Harry Huffnagle and Alec Crawford. “It feels great to win. There is going to have to be something like this next year so we can defend our title,” Arvanites said. The event was hosted by the senior class and raised about $80.00.

Staff Writer Winter track falls between the beginning of December till the end of the February in order to prepare the dedicated athletes for this coming Spring season. The opportunity to become involved in this sport has been available to Red Lion students for several years, however the team has been attending meets and invitationals for only four years. “There has been more involvement and interest,” Track Coach Todd Barshinger said. Winter track has roughly about four to five invitationals a year and they meet a few Saturdays throughout the winter season. "It's not as serious as spring track," said sophomore Angelica Gonzalez who has been involved in Winter track for the last two years. Angelica further explained that it is an option to attend practices and the meets, not mandatory like Spring track. Senior Adam Weigle who participates in all three throwing events in the spring says, "[Winter track] is beneficial because it gives you time to work on key muscle groups, and develop better techniques." Seeing the dedicated athletes work hard in the winter to prepare for the spring is Coach Barshinger's favorite thing about winter track. |
