Yesterday was a fantastic way to end the school day with 2 great Mile races!! The boys started it off with 14 of 17 runners earning a PR! Merrick Zier pushed his hardest to win the race with an astounding time of 4:58, just 2 seconds shy of the record. Way to fly Zier! The ladies killed it with 11 of 15 earning their PRs, while it was a race to the finish between Olivia Simpson and Hamden Schweid. In the end, Hamden closed in and won with her best time of 6:45! Great run girls!

So much thanks to our Puma Community for coming out to cheer all of these runners on. It was truly something special.

Next Wednesday is our Thespian Troupe induction ceremony here at Powell starting at 6:30pm. All Thespians are welcome to attend! If you have previously been inducted, attended ThesCon, in a past show, or not, please join us for a night of recognition and celebration!

Last night our 8th grade boys volleyball traveled to Mountain Ridge to play them in their final normal season game. Both teams took away wins and were able to have fun doing it. James Martin had some really great serving streaks and all of the boys made it fun with their dance moves on the court. B team also won in 2 sets! Rex Marshall had a 7 serve serving streak and Santiago Grado Caraveo played defensively all around the court. Great job, everyone!
