We have heard that some people have been sent a message that asks why OHS was put into lockdown. Furthermore, it says that "All students were told this is lock down, this is not a drill." OHS had a 11:30 dismissal today and at no time has the school been put on lock down.
We are looking for workers for the concession stand for the football playoff game on Saturday. Please consider helping. Thank you

The Olympia Spartans will host the St. Joseph Ogden Spartans in the 2nd Round of the IHSA 3A playoffs on Saturday Nov. 5th at 6:00pm.
Frost covered the course as our Spartans arrived at Maple Lane Country Club for their IHSA Cross Country Sectional Championship in Elmwood. As the temperature rose, so did the spirits of our athletes. The girls spearheaded the way with a strong 4th place finish only 19 points behind Pleasant Plains 1st place. Amelia Kistner lead the way in 19:15 with Emma Swartzendruber shortly after in 19:21! Chrystal Cornwell closed to a 19:39. Abby Litwiller and Cam Lawson finished out the scoring positions within one second of one another in 20:29 and 20:30. Anna Bieber pushed to a 20:59, and Kaylie Dare finished in 23:28. On the boys’ side, Logan Demling paced the Spartan runners in 16:42. Caden Clark grinded out a 17:04. Cooper Phillips and C.J. Moore ended the race two seconds from one another in 17:32 and 17:34. Logan Farquhar was our 5th scorer in a time of 18:43 followed closely by Jacob Lawless in 18:46. Evan Petri finished out his freshman campaign in a time of 19:36. Emma, Chrystal, Caden (season best), Logan F., Jacob, and Evan achieved personal bests in their respective races.
Look to see the girls continue their season in the State Championship race next Saturday at Peoria’s historic Detweiller Park. They take the course at 9 A.M. Let’s go Spartans!

The Spartans were met with a beautiful day and a tremendous course to race on Saturday morning. Our teams were set to qualify for Sectionals and both sides accomplished that task.
The Spartan ladies kicked off the running success by giving #2 State-ranked Eureka a great competition. We were only 12 points off with 57 to Eureka’s 45. Amelia Kistner made a sensational turnaround from last season running on the same course. She was 2 minutes faster than last year while running 18:48 and earning a 4th place medal! Emma Swartzendruber, new to postseason racing, finished second for our squad in 19:15! Our scorers were rounded out by Anna Bieber, Chrystal Cornwell, and Abby Litwiller (19:39, 20:03, and 20:24). Cam Lawson ran closely to our top 5 with a time of 20:40, and Rachel Andris followed in 22:41.
The boys’ side outperformed rankings while finishing 4th behind a strong U-High squad, Eureka, and El Paso-Gridley. We narrowly beat Heyworth by 3 points (173-176). The Spartans were a tale of two tight packs with one strong center piece in their race Saturday. Logan Demling, Cooper Phillips, and Caden Clark were within 18 seconds of one another (16:31, 16:35, and 16:49). C.J. Moore was the glue that stuck the packs together with a time of 17:36. Our second pack saw Logan Farquhar move well, leading Jacob Lawless and Evan Petri to a 54 second split between the 3 runners (18:48, 19:27, 19:42).
Spartans XC is back to racing on Wednesday for our JV runners at Maxwell Park in Normal and at Sectionals in Elmwood on Saturday morning.
