I spoke with Charlie Hutfles (Everest AD) this morning on the conditions at the golf course and with this latest round of rain we will have to cancel the CC meet schedule for tomorrow 10/1 at Mission Lake Golf Course. The risk of injury to a runner is too high and it does not look like the rain will let up until sometime tomorrow.
Unfortunately it does not look like we will be able to reschedule this and again I apologize.

Mrs. B and Ms. Stone took 14 students from the Horton High School Choir to K-State for All-State Prep Day. The students prepared for their State Choir auditions and got to sing with 400 other students from around Kansas! There were even some wonderful music workshops for teachers to attend. Thank you to @kstatechoirs for hosting this wonderful event for students and teachers!
