⭐️Day 1 of the IESA State Track Meet⭐️ AJ Griffin and Myiah Alexander represented Havana well in the hurdles and long jump! Tomorrow we will have competitors in the 4x100, Discus, and 800! Go Ducks!💪🦆

🏃‍♀️HS Girls Track 🏃‍♀️had their Sectional last night. We are very proud of all the girls that competed this year. The girls 4x100 team (Greer, Smith, Hall, Curless) ended the year with a season best 5️⃣3️⃣.9️⃣1️⃣ The girls 4x200 team (Greer, Hall, Markley, Curless) ended with a HUGE season best 1️⃣:5️⃣8️⃣.3️⃣1️⃣. This was 6.6 seconds faster than their best time of the year. Jilian Dyson had a personal best in the discus with a distance of 22.32 meters (73' 2.75"). This was an massive PR by over 2 meters. Other than her there weren't any personal bests in the field events (shot put, discus, high jump, long jump) but all the girls ended with pretty solid marks.

Congratulations to Kasyn Jibben for qualifying for state in the 1️⃣6️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ and the 3️⃣2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣. Prelims for the 1600 will be ran on Thursday the 21st, finals for the 1600 and 3200 will be Saturday the 23rd.

Lady Ducks take down West Prairie 16-4. Shelby Hill was the star with 5 RBIs and 7 strikeouts in 6 innings of work on the mound. Kaydi Miller got the Lady Ducks going with her 4th homer of the season. The girls are home the next two days.

The New Central annual Third Grade Yard Sale is such a great teaching tool for students as they learn how to organize their own shops, handle money, work with customers, and see how hard work can make a difference. Thanks to their efforts earlier this year, third grade was able to make donations this week to our local animal shelter and food pantry. Also making a special appearance this week was substitute teacher “Ma’am Ham” filling in for Miss Witherell’s class. 😂 She took her role seriously and kept the class on track; a hard task this time of year. So proud of the leadership and big hearts our students continue to show. All Ducks fly together! 🦆
