7th grade field trip on Sept. 26
Here's your week 3 XC update:
Yesterday was a fantastic day to run, and our times showed it! I had 36 runners for Lyons in various races yesterday. I think everyone is now running, unless I can convince my 'manager' to actually run.
St. John medals top 20 in varsity races, and top 10 in JV and MS races. We brought home 8 medals: Jojo Vargas - 15th🏅Var; Marianna Boese - 17th🏅Var; Cain Villaseñor - 12th🏅Var; Paco Espinoza - 19th🏅Var; Edgard Zuniga - 5th🏅JV; Ricardo Tapia - 7th🏅JV; Aaron Villaseñor - 3rd🥉1mi; Adahir Rivera - 5th🏅1mi. We also had several runners just outside of medal range - Alli Solis, Havannah Vise, and Jose Recendiz.
In team scores: Varsity men were 4th out of 10 scoring teams. We ran well against some stacked teams. I still think that one of our struggles this year is that we're running freshmen and sophomores against other teams that include juniors and seniors. I have faith that we will continue to get stronger and be competitive this season. The ladies varsity was 5th out of 6 - only 6 points behind 4th place. Several of the ladies dug deep to finish strong. 3 teams had enough guys to form a full JV squad, of those, we places 1st! Though there aren't any awards for JV team scores. 8th graders got 2nd to a very strong St. John team, and we don't have enough 7th graders for a boys or girls team, but I was pleased with the way they ran.
32 runners ran a season PR, and 23 of those were all-time PRs! Some of the all time PR highlights: Marianna Boese - over 2 min; Alli Solis - 3 min; Tatum Tipp - 10 min; Juan Enriquez - 46 sec; Edgard Zuniga - ~3½ min; Haiden Vargas - 7 min; Kolby Peter - ~2min; Angel Landeros - 3 min; Sarah Loughridge - 1 min; Tegan Tipp - 37 sec; Ava Almanza - 7 sec; Derek Valerio - 30 sec; Jon Steele - 17 sec; Alex Landeros - 22 sec; Scott Reazin - 1 min; Aaron Villaseñor 12 sec.
The HS Band has had a strong start to the 2023 marching season! We have exactly sixty students this year, and we’ve expanded the sousaphone section to five members and the drumline to nine. After our two weeks of band camp this summer, we proudly represented Lyons in the Halstead Old Settlers Parade the Saturday before school started!
The next performances were the Back to School BBQ, Hoisington Labor Day Parade, and the first home football game. While none of these are rated events, they are important for what bands do best (community entertainment and pageantry!), and we have received many compliments from Halstead, Hoisington, and Larned community members. I believe our band does a great job representing Lyons with pride, class, and excellence.
This week, we performed at the State Fair in both the Parade and Arena performances, earning Outstanding ratings for both! The kids have been working very hard each morning to clean the first two parts of our show and learn our marching feature, which we will display at halftime of next Friday’s Homecoming football game after having performed in our community Homecoming Parade and Pep Rally. We will also have the Lyons Alumni Band join us in the stands and on the field for pregame and one halftime tune! The next day, the band will perform briefly at the Fair on the Square—another important community appearance. However, two of our members, Mia Bryant and Marianna Boese, will be absent that Friday and Saturday in order to perform as members of K-State’s All-Star Marching Band at their home football game against UCF! Congrats to both of them!
We will be learning the final section of drill of our show over the next two weeks, with the goal of having it all learned before September 30, as we were invited by Sterling College to perform our show for halftime at their home football game that day! Their Athletic Director is even feeding the entire band before the game, and we will get to take over pep band duties for the 3rd quarter while their band takes a break! Again, this is a great opportunity for our students to showcase their hard work and talent while representing our school and community!
The following Wednesday, October 4, we will compete in the Emporia State University Marching Festival, and we hope to bring back some awards! That will kick off “Bandtober,” the month of our three marching festivals, culminating with the State Championship on October 28. If you see a marching band member in the halls, give them a high five for all that they do for our school and community!
