The boys track and field team had a great weekend 
at the state meet in Des Moines. The team finished 
4th overall after spending about half the meet in 
first place. Leading the way was state champion 
long jumper Derek Jacobus. He became state champ 
with a jump of 22’10.25 inches. Famiek Cook 
finished third in the same event. Willie Rhoads 
placed third in the high jump and Drew Heitland 
placed eighth in the shot put. On the track the 
shuttle hurdle team of Tommy Kaiser, Jacobus, 
Marcus Perkins and Cook place second. The 4 x 200 
relay team of John Koelling, Cook, Jacob Shannon 
and Jacobus were also state runner-ups. John 
Koellind placed 3rd in the 400m dash and finished 
4th in the 200m dash. Also scoring points and 
collecting a medal was Tommy Kaiser in the 110 high 
hurdles. It was a banner year for the Cougar Boys 
track team. 
The electric car team competed in Michigan over the 
weekend against the best teams in the country.  As 
a team we finished 3rd.  As individual cars the 40
