Hello Huskies!! We hope you have an amazing Easter Weekend! Here is next week's weekly agenda 4/21/25. We are getting into the end of the year activities and will keep getting busier. If you have any questions or I make a mistake just let me know. Stay warm this weekend!
The Northern Valley High School forensics team made a trip to Ransom for their last regular season tournament of the year. Participants were seniors Caden Lowry and Serenity Porter, sophomore Maddie Wilder and freshman Abby Samuelson.
Abby and Maddie took an IDA and participated very well.
Maddie took an impromptu and also did very well!
Serenity took an impromptu and placed 2nd for the meet! This qualifies her for state championships in this event.
Caden took an impromptu and placed 5th. He also took an Oration, which is a persuasive speech and placed 2nd for the meet! This also qualifies him for state championships in this event.
Now we prepare for our Forensics Showcase on April 29th at 6:30 at NVHS. We invite everybody!
Also, the state championship tournament in McPherson on May 3rd!
Thank you to everyone for the support this year. We have 6 events heading to state championships!

2025 Western Kansas Liberty League – Powerlifting Meet
The Husky Barbell Club attended the first annual WKLL Powerlifting Meet in Rexford, KS on Monday afternoon and had a successful outing as a boys team and girls team. Nine out of the ten league schools attended (Western Plains could not attend), with 20 girl competitors, and 65 boy competitors. The Huskies girls team consisted of Brooke Preston, Rene Horacek, and Andrea Meraz. The Huskies boys team was Caden Lowry, Gavin Thalheim, Owen Hammond, Maverick Rogers, Clay Van Patten, Ayden Keith, Conner David, Lucas Hansen, Zane Brown, Tait Thalheim, Malikiah Hitt, and Ty Miller. Golden Plains ran the meet well as their judges were fair and they kept each station running quickly and efficiently. They have a nice space to host the meet. League powerlifting is the best meet to go to during the year, as all of our league students know each other and they can see how their weight room strength and technique compares to others in the league. Overall is was a great day. Below is the results of the meet:

TREGO POWERLIFTING INVITATIONAL - 2025
The Northern Valley Huskies powerlifters competed in their second meet of the season in Wakeeney, KS, on March 8. The team consisted of two juniors; Owen Hammond, Maverick Rogers, and two freshmen; Lucas Hansen, and Andrea Meraz. Plus myself, Ross Cole, and team manager Landry Gebhard. There was a total of 69 girl lifters, and 184 boy lifters, that makes a total of 253 athletes. It was packed!!
Other than the Bench, Squat, Clean, and Overall records that the Trego powerlifting meet took, they also kept RATIO. Which calculates how much weight you lift divided by your body weight. Owen Hammond ranked 59th out of 184 boys in ratio, as he lifted 4.268 times his body weight! Lucas Hansen came in 93rd with 3.818 times his body weight, and Maverick Rogers in 125th as he lifted 3.402 times his body weight.
Owen Hammond got a personal record in the bench, as he pressed 190 pounds. Maverick Rogers made a 20-pound improvement on his hang clean as he lifted 125 pounds for a personal record. He also bench pressed 105 lbs for personal best, but the lift didn’t count because of foot movement. Andrea Meraz tied her personal best with a 100-pound hang clean. Lucas Hansen had a great day, matching his personal best in the bench and clean. Lucas did not fail a lift all day, which means he has room for improvement!
On a side note, Trevor and Gary Hammond became the first Northern Valley Powerlifting spectators as they came to watch the athletes compete!
I was very happy with the Husky athletes that showed up and came to compete at Wakeeney on Saturday. These athletes have all worked hard in the weight room improving their strength, technique, and attitude towards lifting. There are currently 28 students in high school P.E. classes, but powerlifting isn’t a very popular sport to attend yet, so I am pleased with the students that do attend.
BOYS - Bench, Squat, Clean - Overall
Owen Hammond (165 weight class) 190 lbs, 315 lbs (5th), 195 lbs - 700 lbs
Maverick Rogers (123 weight class) 95 lbs, 195 lbs (5th), 125 lbs (6th) - 415 lbs (5th)
Lucas Hansen (148 weight class) 160 lbs, 255 lbs, 155 lbs - 565 lbs
