All gas, no breaks so far as team Chevrolet leads team GMC 42-41 after one. I think our over will hit by halftime @NickWhyman

It’s Friday night hoops in Grand Island with the Striv all-star games at GICC. @catebargen and @LindeeKelley14 suited up for the girls game, while 9 area kids are on roster for the boys. https://t.co/Zp32fwyR6L

Four days, 50-plus hours and too many photos to count later, I have officially survived my fourth state track week with the YNT. Congratulations to all our area schools and athletes on a successful track season and a great 2024-25 school year (with state golf to come next week). https://t.co/L6C2zXEVjf

It was a photo finish, but EMF has a state champion as Tyrell Fennell runs an 11.06 100 to edge Battle Creek’s Andy Ricchio for gold by one-hundredth of a second. @FriendSchools @emwolves #emfbobcats #nebpreps https://t.co/nUlDU9wynk

We have reached the light at the end of the tunnel: the final day of state track is on deck at Burke Stadium. 9 of 10 area schools are in action today. #nebpreps https://t.co/gM0j3Lu1iH

State TR: two area athletes double qualified for Saturday’s finals in the 100 and 200: - Nebraska Lutheran’s Samantha Hueske - EMF’s Tyrell Fennell Both will add two state medals to their tally tomorrow, while Hueske will go for four medals with a podium finish in the TJ. https://t.co/94qT8m970p

And on the track: A 1-3 finish for @mccoolmustangxc distance runners Leah Dawson and Kayleigh Betka in the 3200 and a silver for the MCJ 4x800 crew (Jayden/Jaysen Fuehrer, Aaron/Alex Morner). Dawson and the 4x8 set school records, Betka with a PR. #nebpreps @mcjmustangs https://t.co/am9FA7CTqz

Had to hammer out 3 track + 1 tennis story with an hour early deadline because of press issues, but some delayed highlights from the field session: 🥈for @angieschady of @tf_fcpanthers in the pole vault (11-6) and Samantha Hueske of Nebraska Lutheran in the long jump (17-3 1/4) https://t.co/stsLdrySzk

It’s a 1-3 finish for @mcjmustangs in the girls 3200 as sophomore Leah Dawson is golden in 11:35.58 and freshman teammate Kayleigh Betka takes bronze in 11:41.51. #nebpreps https://t.co/k3NY6INgDg

Day three of state track starts with a bang, as junior @brodeyspurling1 is your Class D champion in the triple jump, uncorking a 44-6 1/2 on his final attempt to set a PR for @HPCStormTF. #nebpreps https://t.co/Qs7VWLCeD1

Unfortunately will not be able to make it to Lincoln because state track, but York’s No. 2 doubles pairing of Hayley Mattox/Elle Malleck are still playing today and will medal. A huge shout out to Steve Moseley for being willing to grab some photos today - coverage in 5/24 sports

Chad Mattox @chad_mattox

Boom! Hayley and her doubles partner Elle are guaranteed a state medal! It’s been fun to watch them continue to improve. Hayley starts her career with a medal at state tennis as a freshman. Can’t wait to see how she grows and improves! https://t.co/oSPgh43HLh

TR: @k0chclaire caps her sophomore year at Burke, clocking in at 2:23.67 for @YorkDukeTandF in the 800. Koch’s time was about a second off her district pace but within three-tenths of her previous PR and good for a 12th-place finish. #yorkdukes #nebpreps https://t.co/bsIAqmwG6m

Steve Moseley’s helping me out with the opening day of state tennis while I follow the Dukes at state track, but lead singles player Lael Schwarz is an 8-2 winner in the first round. #yorkdukes #nebpreps

TR: @YorkDukeTandF is on the board to end the first day of state track as Annah Perdue clocks in at 11:27.44 in the 3200 to land a sixth-place medal. Naomi Renner also ran the 3200 and placed 16th, while Mira Garrett ran in the 200 prelims to close the day. #nebpreps #yorkdukes https://t.co/VSFABCkW5m
