KMHS CROSS COUNTRY HEADS TO STATE!!!
What a historic weekend it was for the cross-country program. It started with Lola Schwartz qualifying for the State Meet! Lola ran a gutsy race and was rewarded with a 10th-place finish in a fiercely contested Sectional meet! She will be racing on Saturday at 1:20 pm at the Ridges Golf Course in Wisconsin Rapids
Moving on to the boys, the team took 2nd place at Sectionals and qualified for the State Meet! This will be the first time since 1981 that Kettle Moraine will be represented by a Boys team at the State Championship!
Isaac Kirby led the way, and the entire field, by winning the individual title. Isaac, along with Graham Kelchen, Carter Schroeder, Ryan Montes de Oca, Malachi Beyerlein, Will Fisher, and Cole Mirek will be racing on Saturday at 3:10 pm.
After watching the finish of the Boys' race, we were overwhelmed by the support they received from their teammates and the parents of their teammates who were present to support, motivate, and celebrate with our Sectional runners. Though only 8 of us will be stepping up to the line next weekend everyone has had a role in getting them there. By showing up to a weekend practice, offering a ride to Lapham Peak, hosting a pasta party, giving advice on a course you’d raced earlier in the day, motivating your teammates during a workout, or cheering them on during a race. Everyone's had a role in getting these eight teammates to the start line!
See Coach Buntman if you are interested in taking a Fan Bus to the State Meet on Saturday!

GUEST CONDUCTOR FUNDRAISER!!!
KM band programs are running an auditorium fundraiser that allows audience members to submit a silent bid to conduct Wind Symphony on a tune during the District Band Festival. At each concert, we will be informing the audience what the current high bid is and if we have hit our minimum. As a way to kick this off, we did a playful auction "bit" with the audience last night, during our auditorium soft open/pep band concert. We didn't expect any takers, but Mr. Gerber jumped in much to the delight of the audience!
He did a great job and will serve as a wonderful example of what is yet to come.
