Jones, Schwinghammer win titles at Minnewaska

Branton Jones won the shot put at Minnewaska Area tonight with a best throw of 41 feet and 6 inches. He also took second place in the discus throw with a best throw of 119 feet and 3 inches. Tiyana Schwinghammer won the high jump with a best jump of 4 feet, 8 inches. The track and field teams host an eight-team meet tomorrow (Tuesday) with Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City, BOLD, Benson, Browerville, Eden Valley-Watkins/Kimball, Paynesville Area and St. John's Prep. Action begins at 3:30 p.m.

I recently heard the exciting news that Schwinghammer singed with Northland College of Thief River Falls last week to continue her basketball career. She will join one of the top junior college women's basketball programs in Minnesota.

I just noticed that they took most of the rain out of the forecast for the rest of this week!!! This is exciting news. This Thursday, the forecast calls for 60 degrees and low wind, which bodes well for having a track meet at Sauk Centre. Fingers crossed. I'm hoping to make it to that meet and return in time to catch the tail end of a home fastpitch doubleheader with Holdingford.
