The 2024 EV-W-K Cross Country banquet was held on Nov. 3 in Kimball. Congrats to all of the runners, especially senior Henry Lemke who finished 10th at the State Class AA Championships on Nov. 2, earning All-State honors by crossing the finish line at 16:04.6. Lemke finished his prep career as a five-time State qualifier and three-time All-State runner. Kimball had four seniors run this year: Jordyn Theis, Maleah Loch, Elaina Fink and Holly Truenow. The Cubs also had seven athletes earn ALL-CMC Acedemic honors by earning a 3.75 GPA or higher. Jordyn Theis and Henry Lemke were voted by their teammates for the P.R.I.D.E. award (Personal Responsibility In Daily Excellence). The MVP honors were awarded to Lemke and 8th grade runner Miley Kuechle. Way to go runners! #KimballProud
