Such sweet
SOFFOW
They say that all good things
must come to an end.
As I watched the Conference
Cross Country meet in Glenrock
on Friday, I realized that I was
witnessing the end of an era, and
the end of a really good thing.
After 25 years, this was Pat
Hayman's last Conference Meet,
but it was also the last time
Glenrock will host the confer-
ence meet for 3A. On a more
personal note, it was also my son
Cooper's last cross country meet
as a Newcastle Dogie.
Hayman mentioned to me in
an interview a couple Of weeks
ago that the Conference Meet
has been held in Glenrock since
time began, but now that they are
dropping to 2A next year, the 3A
East meet will have to find a new
home.
Though
the course
at Glenrock
was a chal-
lenging one,
I'm sure that
it will be a
S~rq~ Karp little sad
KarpeDogie to run that
eventelse-
where next year.
It will also be a little sad next
year not to see the cross country
team gathered at the Hayman
house as I make my way home,
and for the returning runners, I
can't imagine how strange it will
be for them not to have the "Old
Goat" and Chiefy around as the
season begins next summer.
I'm not the only parent feeling
these pangs right now, and
the melancholy isn't restricted
simply to those of us associated
with the cross country program
either.
As the fall sports are drawing
to a close, we parents of 12th-
graders are prepping for various
senior nights. A couple of weeks
ago cross country held theirs,
and although it was a little sad
for me that Coop was among
those honored, ! knew he still
had races to run. That's not the
case anymore. I washed his cross
country uniform for the last time
this week and that was pretty
bittersweet.

Senior night kicked off the Lady
Dogie swim team's last chance qualifier
meet last Thursday, and among those
honored were team captain Shaylee
Curren, Nathina Crabtree, Upton's
Clover Rhoden and manager Jessica
Pastor for their commitment to the
program.
With the ceremony concluded, the
swimmers from Newcastle, Douglas
and Buffalo got to work, as this meet
was the last opportunity to pre-qualify
for the State Meet, and the effort being
put forth by the athletes was palpable.
"I was very pleased with how our
girls performed at the meet," head
coach Doug Scribner began. "We had
a couple of swimmers who were very
close to qualifying and we had a couple
who achieved their goal."
Curren was successful in qualifying
in the 500 Freestyle race, which she has
been working toward over the last few
weeks. With this newest addition to her
state ticket, she is now pre-qualified
in the 100, 200 and 500 yard freestyle
individual races.
Mikenna Waggener added yet
another event to her slate by qualifying
in the 100 yard Butterfly. With this
addition, she is now qualified in five
different individual events for the State
Meet. Though the Fly has not always
been a focus for Waggener, this was a
race that she was close in, so she and
her coaches thought it was worth it to
give it a try.
Crabtree was .22 of a second away
from qualifying in the 200 IM, and
since she is already qualified in the
backstroke, the breaststroke and the
Senior Nathina Crabtree has already qualified for State in multiple events, and will add firepower to their line-up at
this year's culminating events. (Sonja Karp/NLJ)
butterfly, she and her coaches thought
that she should give it a go. She was
close but didn't make it and, according
to Scribner, won't go for it at the
Conference meet this weekend either.
The Lady Dogies' two divers did
well, according to Scribner. Both Sarah
Henkle and Rachel Ehlers were able to
complete all 11 dives and each achieved
their personal best scores. Henkle is the
closest to qualifying, but both will be
diving at Conference. The coaches each
believe that both divers are doing really
well in practice and given that this is
their first year, they are really pretty
competitive.
A major consideration for entering
athletes into individual races is that, of
the four possible events that swimmers
may enter at the conference meet, each
swimmer can only swim a maximum
of two individual events and then the
other two must be relays. Given that
scenario, the Lady Dogies definitely
have a lot of thinking to do regarding
what individual races they will enter.
With several swimmers qualified in
more than two events, each will have
to decide in which race they wish to
compete, and according to Scribner the
decision will boil down to which are

title on Friday, and can complete an undefeated season by claiming the state title in
Sheridan this week. (Bob Bonnar/NLJ)

.... While therunners in the Women's
Conference meet in Glenrock on
Friday had their eyes on Newcastle's
Calbi Ausmann as the girl to beat,
Calbi had her eyes on the lead cart
and she gave it a run for its money.
Anyone who was watching the
race may have noticed a bead of sweat
breaking out on the driver's brow as
he was doing his best to stay in front
of Ausmann, who runs at about six
miles per hour and could put many a
cart in the dust. Fortunately, Glenrock
had one that was ramped up and
could stay a step ahead of her.
Finishing first is not a novelty
for Ausmann, but there seemed to
be more than the usual focus for
the returning Conference champ as
she was determined to repeat her
performance.
The second place finisher from
Rawlins dogged her heels early in the
race, but by the time the runners made
their second lap around the chal-
lenging course, Ausmann had estab-
lished a dominating lead. In fact, as
she rounded the last comer, the only
question that was unanswered was
whether it would be Calbi or the cart
that would cross the finish line first.
As Ausmann kicked it into high
gear and she stretched out her stride,
you can be sure that the driver had the
pedal to the medal to get to the finish
line before her.
By the time the Rawlins' second
place runner had rounded the last
curve, musmann was across the
finish line and starting her cool down
almost a full minute ahead. During
the race, the Rawlins coach was over-
heard encouraging his runner to catch
Ausmann, but those who are familiar
with 3A East Cross Country knew
