Our cross country runners are building awesome momentum!

At Westby’s Ken Trott Invitational, the boys took 6th out of 15 teams—just 4 points off 5th! Lukas Cornelius finished 13th overall, while freshman Caleb Ellingson earned 25th as the top freshman finisher. Freshmen Aaron Thurow (35th), Caleb Biddle (66th), and senior Jay Pleinis (68th) rounded out scoring. For the girls, sophomores Audrey Kitowski (58th) and Farrah Laufenberg (67th) led the team, followed by senior Grace Tande (88th).

The Tigers kept pushing at the 9-team Cashton Invitational this past weekend and came away with many great performances! Sophomore Lukas Cornelius placed 12th in a field of 100. Caleb Ellingson and Aaron Thurow placed 24th and 25th, respectively. Farrah Laufenberg led the girls team in 38th place. And check out that middle school race--Emma Kitowski ran her first race came in first while Ashley Biddle was in 9th and Avery Biddle was in 14th. The MS boys team saw Eastyn Brown take 17th and Bryce Kitowski in 18th.

Next up: The Jesse Brone Invite at Cochrane-Fountain City High School on Thursday, September 3. Let's keep running strong, Tigers!

Tomorrow is the big day! We can hear the hallways buzzing already. 

As you try on those first-day outfits, here is a quick attendance checklist to ensure a smooth, stress-free start to the year:

✅ Bookmark the school number: Save your child's school attendance line in your cell phone so it's handy if you ever need to report a morning absence. Find all your contact info here: https://www.brf.org/page/attendance

✅ Establish the launchpad: Set up a designated spot near the door for backpacks, shoes, and coats to eliminate morning chaos.

✅ Prepare your backup plan: Talk with a neighbor, family member, or fellow school parent about carpooling or helping out if your morning routine ever hits an unexpected snag.

We have missed your children so much over the summer. Let's start the year strong, consistent, and together. See you next week! #tiGRRpride #attendancematters
