Jessica and Leslie
Jensen (both juniors) earned
sixth place in Duet Acting.
The Jensens earned a
spot in Finals after finishing
fourth (Round 1) and
third (Round 2) in their
preliminary rounds. (The
tournament was formatted
with two preliminary rounds
to determine who made it into
a final round.)
“This was the duet's
first time competing in finals,
and they finished sixth
overall—earning them a
medal,” Tigers’ Speech
Director Christalin Ginn said.
The Tigers scored
thirty-one points total
including sixteen from Duet
Acting, eight points from Oral
Interpretation of Serious
Prose, and seven points from
Extemporaneous Speaking.
Overall, the team
finished in eighth place
behind seventh place Elkhorn
Valley (56).
Aleia Kumm (Jr.)
finished just outside of Finals
after placing fourth (Round 1)
and fifth (Round 2) in her
preliminary rounds.
Kumm battled in her
preliminary rounds, but was
one of three that did not make
it into Finals.
“Aleia placed third in
the first round, but went over
the allotted time, so she fell to
fourth,” Ginn said.
The Tigers’ lone
Extemporaneous Speaking
contestant,
Anthony Heiman (So.), had a
tough first round as was
unable to make it to Finals.
He placed fourth
(Round 1) and third (Round 2)
in his preliminary rounds.
Ginn was pleased with
her speakers’ first round
performance: “In the
first round, no one scored
below a 44 out of 50, which is
the best we have done all
year.”
Overall, the Tigers
(though few in numbers) had
a productive year. They
improved gradually as the
season progressed.
“I am…
(CONTINUED………....PG. 4)
(CONTINUED FROM PG. 3)
…super proud of
every single one of them. I
have seen them work really
hard this year. We earned
three more medals than we
did last year. This
improvement is
tremendous,” Ginn added.

BY MR. ORTMEIER
WAYNE—The Osmond Track
and Field teams traveled to
Wayne State College for the
Division 1 Meet on Saturday,

The Tigers had some
impressive performances and
three record-breaking efforts.

the event in a time of 1:32.52.
Team members were
Haven Schultze (So.),
Makenzie Johnson (So.),
Kennedy Johnson (Fr.), and
Andrea Schmit (Jr.).
The record was 1:33.27
from 2006 with team members
Kelsey Nuesh, Betsy Krienert,

4:38.06 which was good for
third place.
Current team
members are Madeline
Huwaldt (Fr.), Haven
Schultze (So.), Kennedy
Johnson (Fr.), and Makenzie
Johnson (So.).
(The 640 M Relay and 1600 M Relay teams (L-

The record was 4:41.59
from 2010 and team members

Johnson (Sr.), Anthony
Heiman (So.), and Brett

The former record was
3:52.19 from 2004 with team

Evan Friedrich.
Brock Johnson (Sr.)
had very good attempts at 6’
in the High Jump but cleared
5’10 for second place. Alex
Palu took…
(CONTINUED……….PG. 9)
(CONTINUED FROM PG. 8)
…fifth place with 5’4”.
Curtis Kralicek (Sr.)
was out-leaned in the 55
Hurdles for second place, and
it took instant replay to
decide. His time was 8.86 and
the winner from Columbus
Scotus ran 8.85.
The 3200 M Run also
needed instant replay to
decide second place as Jared
Bessmer (So.) out-leaned
Thomazin from Scotus. Jared
sprinted to the line in 11:17.59,
and third place was 11:17.77.
Joshua Gansebom (Fr.)
finished in sixth place in the
1600 M Run in a nice time of
5:26.13.

team placed second in
1:24.29. The team of Tyler
Reikofski (Sr.), Nick Reikofski
(So.), Brett Simmons (Sr.), and

a rough exchange zone twice
to get the baton around to the
finish line.

team of Bessmer, Heiman
(So.), Palu, and Gansebom ran
10:01.7 for a third-place
finish.

Long Jump ever for fourth
place. His distance was 18’-
10.75”.
In the Triple Jump, he
finished in fifth place with a
mark of 38’-9.75”.
Makenzie Johnson (Jr.)
won the High Jump with a
jump of 4’10”. She had good
attempts at 5’, but it was her
lack of misses that won the
event for her.
Andrea Schmit (Jr.) took
fourth place in a very quick 55
Meter Dash. Her time was
8.01. Haven Schultze was
fifth in the 200 M Run in 29.9.
Kennedy Johnson took
fourth place in the Triple
Jump with her best ever jump
of 31’8”.
