SPORTS ROUND UP

“I think that our team will be strong competitors and do very well this season.”

- Freshman Tayah Myhre

GIRLS’ TENNIS

“I think we will do pretty good compared to others across the state, we work hard and have a great attitude during practice.”

BOYS’ TRACK BASEBALL

“I think Mandan this year in many aspects will be hard competition for teams across the state. I think we will be pretty good especially with the many new people added to track this year.”

- Junior Isaac Peterchuk

- Senior Ivy Staudinger

“I think we will be a top contender this year, we have the arms and the bats to do it.”

- Junior Tukker Horner

BOYS’ GOLF

“I believe that we only need to work on short game as a team. Last season our top golfers were hitting the ball far, which is good, however we need to make putts for that to be helpful. That being said, I’m confident that if we start off the season hot we can be one of the top teams in North Dakota.”

- Junior Alex Moch

GIRLS’ TRACK SOFTBALL Sports 18

“I think we have a real shot at a state title this year. Last season was very senior-heavy for teams all around the state, so everyone is gonna be starting over. We‘re a strong team all-around, so I’m excited to see how our season goes.”

- Senior Tahrynn Nybakken

“I think we are really going to work on and develop different hitting skills this year and get better. Whether it be hitting higher speeds or putting balls in different spots just doing it more and getting back in the groove.”

- Junior Savannah Gustavsson
