FCGOLF From C7 Kuhn; sophomores Nathan Theel, Kyle Post, Luke Tweeten, Parker Albrant and Logan Hall. Freshman on the team include Jacob Wilson, Jason Mielke, Dustin Snider, Sam Swanson, Ben Oulman, Tom West and Garrett Northrup. The girl’s team includes seniors Nicole Skjeie and Rachel Steiff, both veteran players who have played varsity all three years in high school, according to Pauley. “Nicole has just missed making all conference the past two years and it is her goal to make it this year,” said Pauley. “She wants to be all conference.” Freshman golfers include Payton Skjeie, Sevanah Thomas and Sydney Olson. Pauley said the key for the younger players is to learn the game and play rounds. Bear Creek Golf Course will be the host of seven tournaments this year as Forest City, along with neighboring schools will hold events at the golf facility. The North Iowa Conference Tournament is scheduled for May 12.
WHGIRLS From C5 As we put the work in during the year, the common goal that we pursue is the conference title.” Sanger said that although the team won’t have the same makeup as last year but the team goals are similar. Our goals for this year will remain high. We are looking at competing for both a conference and district title again this year.” But, the coach said, it’s a meet-by-meet-process in order to achieve the conference and district goals. “We look to improve at each meet we compete and will put together a competitive meet at conference and districts,” Sanger said. “If we can do these things I think we can set ourselves up to be competitive at the state meet once again.”
FCGIRLS From C4 and eight juniors. The sophomore class is strong on numbers with 14, which includes the three athletes that ran at state. Jackson’s team also has seven freshmen.
