Once a
Dogie...
It seems as though education
is constantly under 'fire these
days, whether it’s the overall
system or the school or the
teachers. I’m not sure if it is this
negativity that contributes to
the difficulty that some districts
experience in finding quality
teachers, coaches, substitutes,
bus drivers and so on, or the
nature of the work itself that
causes this challenge, but it’s
obviously something.
As I was pondering this trou-
blesome mindset recently, I got
to thinking about the Newcastle
school system, of which I am
very proud, and happily con-
cluded that we don’t struggle as
much as some.
Though I am not originally
from here, I have grown to think
of it as my
3rd Place
1st Place
Senior Cooper Karp gives it everything he has
coming down to the finish line at
assist the athletes, who found them-
selves overwhelmed and overheated.
When it was all said and done,
both Newcastle teams finished in
fifth place behind the 4A and AA
schools, but ahead of Douglas. Given
that Douglas was the only 3A com-
petition in the contest, the end result
may bode well for the Dogies as they
head in to the Conference Meet in
Glenrock next Friday.
“It was not the biggest meet we’ve
been in, but it was pretty big as far as
competition went,” head coach Pat
Hayman stated. “It was a good meet
for us which challenged our kids, and
I thought for the most part that we did
pretty well.”
The runners on both the men and
women’s teams showed consistency
by finishing as one has come to
expect at this point in the year.
For the Lady Dogies, Calbi
Ausmann closed out a perfect regular
season by finishing in first place fol-
lowed by Catherine Orban, Morgan
Simianer, Paige Liggett and Betty
Terry.
“Calbi finished the re ular season
undefeated, and that; "'etty cool
because it’s been a while Since that
happened,” Hayman smiled.
Ausmann had some competition
at this meet in the form of a very
talented Gillette Lady Camel who
established himself as the squad’s
third man, the fact that he will not
run on Friday may have a negative
impact on the team’s overall finish.
“When your third guy is gone,
it’s more than just the runners behind
him that have to step up their race,
but also, the one and two guys,”
Hayman explained. “If we don’t do
that on Friday, we are not going to
finish like we want to.”
Hayman pointed out that in the
four races that took place that day,
including the middle school races,
Newcastle had three individual cham—
pions. The Dogies took top honors in
the middle school girls’ and boys’
races as well ,as the varsity girls’ race,
and Hayman thinks that bodes well
for the future of this program.
The upcoming Conference Meet
is Hayman’s last, and it is also the
last time it will be held in Glenrock,
as they will be moving down to 2A
next year.
The varsity teams who will run
at the Conference Meet this Friday
were set by how the runners finished
in Gillette. The top seven members
of each team will run in the varsity
race, while the rest will run JV,
though the times those runners put
up will be taken into consideration
when deciding who will run at the
State Meet in Sheridan the following

/ Granted I am a bit biased, but
I do try to look at the district in
which I work with a critical eye,
and something interesting that I
stumbled upon in my pondering
is that there is an impressive
number of Newcastle graduates
who are employed in Weston
County School District #1.
In my opinion, it speaks
volumes for the quality of this
district that its alumni think well
enough of the schools to return
and become a part of the staff.
No matter what department
teachers, paraprofessionals,
office staff, administration,
counseling, coaches, subs,
transportation, custodial staff
and even the school board if
you look you will find an abun—
dance of former Dogies.

The Lady Dogies were little fish
swimming in a very big pond last
Saturday, as they were the smallest of 16
teams who competed at the Swimming
and Diving Invitational in Gillette. Of
those teams, only four other 3A teams
were in attendance, with the rest being
4A or the equivalent of that size school
from South Dakota.
The ladies stepped up to the chal-
lenge, swimming some very impressive
times given the fatigue that has set in as
the season has progressed."
“When looking at how we com-
peted against the other 3A teams—
who included Jackson, Worland and
Lander— though they may have fin-
ished ahead of us, the girls swam very
competitively with them,” head coach

Doug Scribner declared, indicating that
Jackson was the only 3A team to best
the Lady Dogies in the 200 Yard Medley
Relay.
In addition, a big highlight of the
day was that the Lady Dogies finally
achieved their goal of beating the
Buffalo Lady Bison, against whom they
have fallen short so far this season.
The Gillette Invite was not the
week’s only competition for the squad
however. On Thursday, the team went
to Douglas for a dual against the Lady
Bearcats. Originally, the meet was
scheduled as a double dual in which
the Lady Dogies would have also com-
peted in a dual against Rawlins, but due
to Homecoming festivities going on
in Carbon County, the Lady Outlaws
backed out of the meet.
“Thursday went well, and it Was a
fun meet because it was just the two
teams,” Scribner smiled. “We didn’t put
up the fastest times there, but we were
definitely competitive.”
The team had a goal of taking down
the Lady Cats in the 200 Medley Relay
because they had beaten Newcastle
the weekend before. In order to make
that relay team as competitive as pos-
sible, Scribner made a change to his
lineup to ensure that each swimmer
was racing in their strongest event. As
a result, Nathina Crabtree was replaced
by Shaylee Curren, who currently has
a strong 50 Freestyle time, and the
move was just what the ladies needed to
achieve their goal and take the win over
Douglas in that event.
The overall team finish put the Lady
Cats ahead of Newcastle when the day
was done, but there were definitely
some positives the team was taking with
them heading into their big meet on

Saturday.
“The biggest highlight was that
Nathina was close to qualifying in
the 100 backstroke, so we put her in
that race again on Saturday, and she
swam under the required time, so has
added another event to her State Meet,”
Scribner grinned.
Sarah Henkle is also very close
to qualifying for the 100 backstroke,
missing the time by only .28 of a
second. Scribner anticipates entering her
in backstroke this Thursday at the last-
chance qualifying meet so that she can
add another event to her ticket as well.
“Mentally, I think that the girls are
where they need to be at this point in the
season. You can tell that we are physi-
cally tired, but because we are prepared
mentally we were able to still put up
