The St. John's Junior High 8th Grade Athletes have been named the NCKSSports.com/Cunningham Telephone and Cable Athletes of the Week.

St. John's 8th Graders have had an outstanding year on the boys and girls side.  The boys won the Pike Trail League Championship "Triple Crown" in athletics, taking home the team championship in football, finishing with a 7-0 overall record.  They won the PTL basketball championship also, finishing 14-1 on the season.  In football and basketball, they combined with Tipton for the titles.  This past week, they took home the PTL track & field championship as well.  During that meet, Davis Dubbert set the school record in the discus, with a throw of 139'0 1/2"

The 8th Grade Girls have had a lot of success also, claiming the PTL volleyball championship in the fall with Tipton, and also winning the PTL 8th Grade track & field title this past week.  On May 7th at the Southern Cloud meet in Beloit, four members of that team also broke a 25 year old school record in the Medley Relay, which consists of two 100m, one 200m and one 400m leg.  Erin Meyer, Elizabeth Walter, Clara Eilert and Brenna Eilert ran the race in 2:03.93, which was 4.28 seconds better than the old record of 2:08.21 set in 1988.

To top all that off, the St. John's 8th Graders also proved to be scholar athletes by definition, claiming the PTL 8th Grade Scholar's Bowl championship earlier this semester also.  Davis Dubbert, Mason Eilert, Drake Kee, Ryan Jackson, Ryan Gengler, Elizabeth Walter and Ivy Miller were members of the league champion Scholar's Bowl team.
