Trash round-up
On October 20, the Newcastle
Saddle and Sirloin FFA Chapter
decided to perform communi-
ty service by completing their
semi-annual highway cleanup.
The members of the Newcastle
FFA spent about an hour clean-
ing up the roadside on Highway
16, which runs over the bypass
and alongside the Newcastle High
School. In this time theylpicked
up trash on both sides of the
highway.
This task will be performed once
again in the spring.
"It helped us give back to the
community that has supported
us for so long," FFA member
Kaprina Jones stated.
"This fills in the last part of the
Ag education motto, 'Living to
Serve,'" Grace Sandrini added.
Other participating members
thought it was a fun and enjoy-
able way to build comradery and
are excited to do their part in the
next highway cleanup. (Submitted

with the difference between
first and sixth place only a
mere .81 of a second.
"This race is tricky because
it will come down to-whom-
ever shows up that day and has:
A,~ i,'~dependent ticense~ of the Blue Cross ~nd Blue Shield Association
that much better of a start,"
Scribner began. "Rachel ended
up fifth and she came up to
me and asked what she had
done wrong and I told her that
she did everything right. She
dropped time, her breakout was
right with everybody when it
had been slower at Conference,
so it really was just an incred-
ibly fast race across the board
and exciting to watch."
According to Scribner, all
six swimmers turned together,
everybody's feet touched the
wall at the same time and
everybody was coming back
swimming neck and neck.
He went on to note that in
this short, fast race nothing
is guaranteed, despite seeding.
The person who was seeded
first this year didn't get first,
because when there's only a
few tenths of a second sepa-
rating all six swimmers, it's
anybody's race to claim.
The 100 Backstroke was also
an exciting race for Scribner
and his team. Returning state
champion Rachel Henkle and
Waggener each were entered
into the race, along with the
number one seeded swimmer
from Jackson. In the race, the
three were swimming next to
each other with the two Dogies
side-by-side.
"Mikenna was on the
Jackson girl the entire race,"
Scribner beamed. "She kind of
missed her last flip turn oth-
erwise I think she would have
taken her, but it was a really
exciting race. Mikenna came
in only one second behind
the winner and R~chel came
in only half a second behind
Mikenna. To have two fast
backstroke swimmers on one
team is awesome."
The relay teams also swam
fast and competed well. The
swimmers for each team were
the same as in the finals at
Conference and the times
that each dropped from one
weekend to the next was
significant. The 200 Medley
dropped 2.22 seconds, the 200
Free dropped 6.23 seconds,
and the 400 Free dropped 7.48
seconds.
The 200 Medley team went
in seeded third, and according
to Scribner it was a good race.
"We had our fastest time of
the season in prelims and then
posted an even fa~ter time in
the finals," he repolrted.
The team of Rachel Henkle,
Waggener, Crabtre¢, and Sarah
Henkle finished in third behind
Jackson and Powell. Rachel
swam her fastest backstroke
time of 28.9 in that race and
all the other Lady Dogies were
also on their best time.
The 200 Free Relay final's
team made up of Curren,
Rachel and Sarah Henkle, and
Crabtree went in seeded ninth.
In prelims MaKengie Wagoner
was in the relay as Scribner
was looking to see where Sarah
would end up in the backstroke,
but when she didn't make it to
finals, Scribner put her into the
relay and the squad dropped
five seconds from the prelim
time to end up beating Cody to
claim eighth place.
In the prelims of the 400
Free Relay, Scribner didn't
think that his team had made
it into finals, however they
ended up beating Douglas by
.35 so that bumped them over
the latter to advance and ulti-
mately finish sixth overall.
"That really made me glad
as Shaylee was a member of
that relay and since she is a
senior, I was glad she got to
place in the finals at the State
Meet. Nathina swam the Fly in
the Medley relay, so she also
was able to be on a state finals
team," Scribner grinned.
Though the team didn't
bring home any individual
championships from this year's
State Meet, there can be no
arguing that they performed
extraordinarily well. Waggener
and Rachel Henkle's times
in the 100 Backstroke put
them into the top 10 all-time
fastest for the Lady Dogies.
In fact, the squad has eight
Newcastle top-ten athletes
this year. Rachel Ehlers and
Sarah Henkle made it into the
top ten in diving, even though
they were unable to qualify for
State, and Rachel Henkle also
made it in the breaststroke and
the 50 free.
With the 2015 season
behind him, Scribner began
to speculate about his team's
chances next season.
"We are losing three
seniors, but I think that the
200 Medley relay should be
okay," he nodded. "We will
lose Nathina in the Fly leg of
the race so we need someone to
step up there, but I'm confident
that we should still be very
competitive."
"I've got a lot of things
planned for off-season and for
next summer, so I think that we
will go into next season pretty
strong," Scribner smiled:
