This year, our second year back as the Wilmot Wolves track team, we have the honor of being able to run and compete in the 100th year of the Howard Wood Dakota Relays track meet. This track meet is an honor to compete in as it promotes the best track athletes in the upper Midwest. Over 3,000 student-athletes are invited to compete, and 17 future Olympians and counting have been produced at this meet! In order to compete, relays have to be within the top 25 times per class and individual events need to be within the top 40 times/distances overall. This year, we have 3 different events that have been invited to compete in.
On Friday, May 2nd, the 4X200 relay team, consisting of Kolby Haubris, Jaxen Dockter, Ethan Schwenn, and Keitrick Genia, will compete at 5:25pm. This relay is currently sitting 7th place in Class B. This relay is also close to breaking our current school record!
On Saturday, May 3rd, the Sprint Medley Relay team, consisting of Keitrick Genia (200m), Jaxen Dockter (200m), Kolby Haubris (400m), and Ethan Schwenn(800m) will compete at 10:19am. This relay is currently sitting 14th place in Class B. This relay, consisting of the same runners, also previously medaled 8th place at the State Meet last year.
Also on Saturday, Ethan Schwenn will be running the 400m dash at 11:25. Ethan is currently sitting in 7th place with a time of 52.61, also close to breaking our current school record.
We are so incredibly proud of all the hard work these boys and the rest of our track team have put in this year. And, the season isn't even half over yet! Tune in to watch these events ran live and cheer on the Wilmot Wolves by following the link below. Go Wolves!🐾🐺

The last 3 weeks, Preschool – 5th grade have been reading the same books and voting on the ones we like. The books were put into a bracket and before we started reading, the students could fill out a bracket and predict who they think the winner will be! We had 2 first place winners with a perfect bracket: Emery and Harlan and 3 second place winners with only 1 wrong: Octavian, Trinity, and Kiersten. Thank you WASP for the collaboration on this literacy activity.
A reminder that state testing continues this week. Tomorrow morning, Monday, April 14th through Thursday, April 17th, 3rd through 6th graders will be testing. On Wednesday, April 16th 7th, 8th, and 11th graders will test. Make sure to get good rest, eat a good breakfast, and TRY YOUR BEST!
