Orion High School

The OHS Boys Track and Field team took first place at the Monmouth Roseville Titan Indoor meet last week.
Brody Ossian delivered a solid performance, putting together a big night that played a key role in the team’s success. He placed 2nd in the triple jump with a leap of 38’, while also earning 7th in the high jump by clearing 5’6”. Both marks tied his lifetime personal best. Brody’s efforts contributed to the team total of 95 points, helping secure the victory over Farmington. Stepping up in multiple events and reaching new personal milestones, Brody showed he’s ready to be a major contributor this year.

Charley Arnold and Carter Sersland stepped up in a big way in the 400m dash, showing they’re ready to take on larger roles this season. In a tight race, the two pushed each other to the line, with Charley narrowly edging Carter by less than one hundredth of a second. They finished 2nd and 3rd respectively, both clocking lifetime indoor bests of 54.95. The pair carried that momentum into the 4x400 relay, teaming up with Aidan Leingang and Wyatt Steen to secure a 2nd place finish in 3:46.95. Their combined efforts played a key role in locking in the overall team victory and set the tone for what this group can accomplish moving forward.

Friday afternoon was signing day at OHS. We are so proud of these six senior athletes that will be continuing their athletic careers at the next level: Hayden Gehring (Softball, Central College), Autumn Hoftender (Golf, Central College), Sadie Hessler (Track & Field, Augustana), Abi Kayser (Track & Field, Olivet Nazarene), and Lena Willett (Cross Country, Sandburg). Congratulations to all!
