Kyle Reese returns a shot at first doubles during the Benson triangular with NLS and LQP-DB last Tuesday night in Benson.

The Benson-KMS track and field teams were set to compete at Morris last Tuesday night, but due to wet conditions at the Morris facility, the meet was moved to Minnewaska Area and nine teams took part in the invitational.

Minnewaska Area continued its early domination in area girls track and field with the team title, while the Benson-KMS girls were fourth with 62 points, and Morris Area-CA also maintained its early grip on team titles in the boys competition, with 147 points, while the Fighting Braves’ boys were also fourth with 63 points.

Ethan Hauge won the only individual title for the Fighting Braves with a first in the long jump (19-1), while Benson-KMS also had seconds by the boys 3200 meter relay team, by Brandon Kallstrom in the triple jump, by Claire Ricard in the 300 meter hurdles, by Denise Zdauc in the 400 meter dash, and by Mariah Ahrndt in the long jump.

Washington, D.C. trip a great learning experience

by Barb Schwarz, BHS staff member and 7th grade Washington, D.C. trip coordinator

People always ask me if I ever get bored with seeing the same things over and over in Washington DC.  I always think, how can I, I’m traveling with seventh graders and do you really know how their minds work; it’s amazing how they see and experience the world, and it’s always a joy when they discover a new idea.  It is never boring exploring the sites and sounds of DC with seventh-graders.  Boredom is not an issue even if I have seen many memorials and monuments over and over again.  This trip allows for conversations about history, and conversations run from the very basic level to in-depth topics.  It is an amazing experience to explore with them.

Thirty-five students and 13 adults took part in this year’s trip and we had good weather in the 70’s and a lot of DC color.  The cherry blossoms, magnolias, and tulips were all in bloom...
