It's that time of the year where we are planning for the upcoming marching band season and we are looking for individuals interested in joining the color guard. The guard provides an important visual aspect to what the band is show-casing on the field. We perform with the band at home football games and competitive marching band events. If you have any questions feel free to ask any current member of the color guard or Mr. Chris Mitchell or Ms. Jacalyn Meisner.

On Friday at Arcola the BRHS lady knights track and field team showed up and ran, jumped and threw their hearts out. The team placed 6th of 12 teams in conference; however the story was that 13 of the 15 girls competing PR'd in an event or split. Notables include Ariahna Miller-Brown placing 3rd in the 400 with a blistering time of 1:02.5 just 1.2 seconds from a school record and state qualifying. Ariahna also placed 5th in the 200 and 6th in the Triple Jump. Lexi Winstead scorched her way to a 5th place PR 100 time while Ava Hammer PR'd in the 300 intermediate hurdles placing 4th! Both Jasmine Petmecky and Kelly Weiss PR'd and placed in the grueling 3200. Indra Nolan eclipsed 88 feet in the discus with a PR throw that merited a 6th place finish. The lady knights compete Wednesday at the Maroa-Forsyth sectional. Way to go lady knights track and field!
The boys track & field team traveled to Arcola to wrap up the regular season at the LPC conference meet on Friday. It was a good day for PRs with 7 athletes logging personal records at the event.

The 4x1000 team of Brayden Hallowell, Wesley Clark, Chase Ellis and Romero Fernandez placed 6th. Elias Nolan shattered his previous 3200m time by nearly 30 seconds to finish in 11:37.56 for a PR.
