Lincoln Pius X 73

The girl’s team remains undefeated, and the boy’s came away with a secondary state qualifying time in the 200 free relay. Lincoln Pius is always a strong team and a team with a lot of depth. They always seem to push our swimmers to do their best. Our swimmers really rallied around one another tonight and provided strong encouragement to the team. Tonight was also our senior recognition night. We honored 10 seniors. Each of them has been major contributors to the success of the team over the past 4 years. From Beatrice: Hayden Stevens, Averi Kolb, Hannah Essink, from Fairbury: Mikwena Lierman, Camryn Wisnieski, Josi Mans, Briaunna Knothe, Norris: Noah Bratt, Crystal Craft, and Xander Nelson. I am so proud of these athletes. Many of them have been a member of our team for 4 years, many of them are state qualifiers, and all of them are well rounded students and athletes. Their leadership, talent and support will be missed next year. We wish them all the best in their futures.

Along with the boys 200 freestyle relay, we had 5 more state qualifying times, 30 personal best performances and 27 first and second place finishes.

BNFF vs. Lincoln North Star Swim Results

Both the girl’s and boy’s teams came away with a win tonight against Lincoln North Star. The girls are currently undefeated in their dual competitions. We have a lot of depth and many talented swimmers on both our boys and girls teams. Everyone has contributed greatly to our successes this season. This has been a tough week for the team, many were not able to practice at all this week due to the weather, and some only were able to have one practice this week.

Our swimmers work very hard at practice and many have goals to qualify and improve their times before the state meet. We have asked a lot from both the girl’s and our boy’s teams, to step out of their comfort zones and try new events

Many have shown strong leadership skills, some of them are: Seniors, Josi Mans, Averi Kolb, Hannah Essink, Bri Knothe, Noah Bratt, Juniors:, Laci Havlat, Ian Scheele, Kolton Kirchhoff, Jaidyn Vanschoiack, Linnea Edeal, Erika Kroecker, and many others that are also willing to swim whatever events the team needs filled.

It was nice to come away with a win for both the girl’s and boy’s team tonight.The girls are currently undefeated in their dual competitions. We have a lot of depth and many talented swimmers on the team this season. So, we are able to have many swimmers compete in different events, and that contributed greatly to our success. But, having many other athletes to help us fill all the events and spread out the points has also contributed to the girls and boys team success. Also, having swimmers and divers who are willing to compete in different events helped us achieve the win, 29 personal best swims, 16 first place finishes and 12 second place finishes.

The Bean Game

Managing Money requires you to make choices. There is never enough money available for all of the things we’d like to or have to do. The students in Mrs. Dux’s Intro to Business class participated in an activity called “The Bean Game” which helped them practice the economic concepts of opportunity cost, scarcity, trade offs and decision making.
