We want to congratulate Alexa Beachy, Payton Carroll, and Abby Stine for being added to the 2021 list of Illinois State Scholars. We did not find out to properly congratulate them while we were still in school, but proud of their accomplishments; they join 14 other OHS students!
Congratulations to the Oly track guys for a fantastic ending to the 2021 season! Yesterday, 4 state qualifiers turned themselves into 4 state medalists! Chase Litwiller(fr) tied for 9th place with a leap of 6’ 0.75” in the high jump; Charlie Kistner(sr) placed 7th with an all-time personal-best time of 9:32.71 in the 3200 meter run; Carter Phillips(jr), Alec Pfeffer(sr), Chase Mayberry(sr), & Owen Dare(jr) teamed up to place 8th in the 4x800 meter relay; and Alec Pfeffer(sr), Andrew Litwiller(jr), Owen Dare(jr), & Justin Siebert(sr) combined for a 6th place season-best time of 3:27.01 in the 4x400 meter relay. Both relays had Brad Schardan (jr) to thank for helping them qualify for the state meet. Brad competed in both relays last week at the sectional meet, but broke his fibula with 60 meters to go in the 4x400 relay.
