Three Lady Buffaloes, Jalyssa Gillming, Lindsay Wilkens, and Emma Kucera were the Gibbon High representatives at the NSAA State Track and Field Championships in Omaha on Friday and Saturday, May 21 and 22.
At the Class C-6 district track meet hosted by Wood River Thursday, May 13, ten Centurions in eight events earned the right to compete in this week’s state track meet in Omaha. The list of ten events includes two relays. Centura’s contingent of qualifiers is led by Eli Wooden, the only senior on the list and the only one with previous experience at the state meet. The senior placed third in the state meet in the long jump in his sophomore season and returns to Omaha as a district champion in two events, the long jump and the pole vault. His winning long jump at the district meet went 21’-11-3/4”, and he won the pole vault by going five inches over 13 feet.
Emma Kucera, Lindsay Wilkens, and Jalyssa Gillming will represent Gibbon High at the state track and field meet this weekend after qualifying at the C-8 District meet held at Ord on Thursday, May 13.
Five Gibbon seniors traveled to the University of Nebraska at Kearney on Tuesday, April 27, to take the STAMP test and tour the campus. The STAMP test is comparable to the ACT, only in Spanish. It consists of a written, listening, speaking, and writing portion and takes two to three hours to complete. The students were hopeful that their results would be high enough to earn the Nebraska Seal of Biliteracy. Recipients of the Nebraska Seal of Biliteracy who score at the Gold level on the STAMP test are automatically placed into a higher Spanish class when they start at the university and are able to earn nine retroactive credits on their transcript.
Centura players on the Central City/Fullerton/Centura Kernels baseball team find themselves in the thick of the Class B state tournament this week, even though they were defeated by Omaha Skutt Catholic in the first round last Saturday.
