On the boys side, Logan Schwinger, the team’s field MVP, was the conference and regional champion in the shot put, conference runner-up in the discus and qualified for sectionals in the shot put. Greyson Gremban, the team’s male track MVP, won all three distance events at conference and was named conference athlete of the year.
