The Lewis & Clark / Bloomfield Invitational were postponed from Friday the 6^th to Monday the 9^th due to excessive water standing on the Rolling Hills Golf Course and wet, stormy weather. Monday was still challenging for the runners as the temperature was a raw 42 with stiff breeze and light rain and sleet at times.

          The Tigers seemed to take it all in stride as they finished both meets in 3^rd place just 2 points from the runner-up plaque.  Jared Bessmer finished 6^th in 18:51 Johnson Chishiba right behind in 7^th in a time of 18:58. Aaron Chishiba was 11^th in 19:34, and Keaton Timmerman was 31^st in a time of 21:57.  Ethan Pfanstiel was 35^th in 22:23, Alexander Heiman 39^th in 23:01, Alex Kumm 45^th in 24:47, and Connor vonRentzell was 48^th in 25:53. 

          Scores: 1^st – 18 Hartington, 2^nd – 46 Winnebago, 3^rd – 48 Osmond, 4^th – 51 Winside, 5^th – 77 Laurel-Concord-Coleridge, 6^th – 90 Ponca, 7th – 145 Randolph.

           Osmond Tiger’s girl’s team medaled one runner as Lexi Beacom finished in 13^th place in a time of 25:25, Hayle Krienert was 18^th in 27:46, and Jozie Kumm finished in 22^nd place in 30:19. 

          Tiger junior High boy’s finished in 12^th and 13^th place in the Bloomfield invite.  Kaden Polt was 12^th in 10:36 and Robert Aschoff was 13^th in 10:38. 

          “I thought the kid’s did a great job considering the weather” praised Coach Ortmeier, “they showed toughness just to be out there and they competed well.”
