As reported earlier, senior Perry Carter and junior Jonathan Zuiderveen were picked for the Gold all-league cross-country team.

Freshman Zoe Antel was all-conference in girls’ cross and fellow frosh Payton Sidebotham was honorable mention.

Caleb Boyle, Michael Kelly, Justin Kiry and Gage Stancell represented the Wildcat football team on the all-O-K Gold squad. Chad Stoepker and Tanner VanDyke were presented with honorable mention accolades.

In volleyball, Sydney Ritz, Leigha Morse and Taryn Coughlin made the all-conference group and Lyndie VanMalsen was honorable mention.
