💜🐾 MINDEN GIRLS SHINE AT THEIR HOME INVITATIONAL! 🐾💜
Saturday was a special day for the Minden girls’ cross country team. In warm, humid, and nearly windless conditions, our Whippets competed with tremendous toughness and finished runner-up by just one point to preseason No. 1 Adams Central, 46–47!
Minden entered the season unranked but finished ahead of preseason No. 2 Gothenburg, No. 3 Milford, and No. 10 Kearney Catholic. Six Whippets placed among the first 21 runners in a very talented field!
💜 Alexa Warner led the team with a sixth-place medal in 20:28. Alexa continues to provide strong senior leadership and gave us the important low number we needed at the front of the race.
💜 Aclynn Osterbuhr delivered an outstanding performance, placing 13th in 21:20 as our second runner. We are especially proud of the confidence, courage, and determination she showed throughout this race.
💜 Adelyn Whitten ran another tough and dependable race, finishing 15th in 21:27. She competed hard from start to finish and gave our scoring group another important performance.
💜 Regan Johnson placed 16th in 21:39 and completed our four-runner team score. Stepping into this type of varsity competition as a freshman and contributing immediately says a great deal about her ability and composure.
💜 Evie Sharkey finished 19th in 21:49, giving us an excellent fifth runner. Her performance demonstrated the depth of this team and would have been extremely important in a tiebreaker.
💜 Gemma Fritson crossed the line only five seconds behind Evie, placing 21st in 21:54. Gemma’s strong freshman performance gave Minden six runners among the top 21!
💜 Emerson Kuehn battled through the difficult conditions and finished 34th in 23:07. She continues to gain valuable varsity experience and will be an important part of this team as the season progresses.
💜 Kinsey Morey was held out because of a minor injury. As much as every athlete wants to compete at the home meet, protecting her health and the remainder of her season was the right decision. Kinsey remained an important and supportive part of the team throughout the day.
Alexa through Regan scored the 47 team points, while Evie, Gemma, and Emerson showed just how much depth and potential this group possesses. Having five runners separated by only 34 seconds—from Aclynn through Gemma—is a tremendous strength.
The girls did not win the trophy Saturday, but they proved something important: Minden belongs among the best teams in Class C.
We are incredibly proud of every one of these young women—their effort, toughness, support for one another, and the way they represented Minden on their home course.
The season is still young, and this group is only getting started!

YOU MATTER 🤍
Each high school art student created a black-and-white design on a strip of paper. Each strip was then woven together to form this collaborative artwork.
A simple reminder that every student brings something unique to our art room and that every piece matters.
