Track - Skylar Ross
This week’s Ranger Girls Track and Field athlete of the week is Skylar Ross. Skylar is bestowed this honor for her performance at the Spearfish Invitational on April 8. She ran a personal best open 800 time in 2:26.11. This time qualified Skylar for the state track meet. Watch for Skylar to improve and help the Rangers qualify in a few more events.
Track – Cody Homan
This week’s Ranger Boy Track and Field athlete of the week is Cody Homan. Cody is the example that other athletes on this team should strive to be. Not only is Cody one of the top sprinters on the Ranger program, he is one of the most respectful and hardworking young men a coach could hope to work with. Cody is always willing to do what his team asks of him. If it’s running in relays or competing in the open 300 hurdles, Cody is on board. Keep an eye out for Cody this season as he is expected to get better as we enter the heart of the track season.
Golf - Sammy Woodward
Sammy started off the season with a 93 at the Elks Invitational, taking fourth place and helping to lead the girls team to a first- place finish with a 288, their first ever score under 300. Then, with rainy, windy conditions on the gusty plains of the Wall golf course, Sammy carded a 92 to take first place among all golfers. This is the first time she's taken medalist honors at a meet, and it probably won’t be be the last. Sammy has grown into a mentally tough contender who has provided strong leadership this year and her coach and teammates are looking forward to great things over the course of the season.
Golf – Taylor Edwards
Taylor started the season with a personal best 92 at the Elks Invite, shaving 37 strokes off of his score there last year. He followed that up with 91, another personal best, at the Wall Invitational, taking third place. This was the first time Taylor has medaled as a varsity player. Taylor is stepping up big as a freshman and we’re hoping he continues for the rest of the season.
