Drew led the way with a strong 21st-place finish, followed by Aaron (33rd), Noah (59th), Jason (60th), and Avery (70th) out of 121 varsity runners. Their consistent performances throughout the year culminated in a well-earned top-ten finish at state.
In the girls’ division, Grace and Mikaela represented North Central with outstanding efforts, placing 49th and 69th respectively out of 111 varsity runners. Both athletes ran tough races on a challenging course, showcasing the same determination that carried them through the season.

Parent/Teacher Conferences are scheduled for October 28th through October 30th (Tuesday-Thursday). Students in Grades 5-12 will be dismissed at 1:10 PM all three days of conferences. Students in Grades K-4 will have regular days of school and dismiss at the regular time on days, as arrangements have been made to ensure that conferences for these students can take place after 3:30 PM. Afternoon, bus routes will run at the time of the early dismissal and again at the time of regular dismissal.
We will again be conducting student-led conferences for students in Grades 5-12. Each student has been scheduled for a 15-minute block of time in which they will lead their own conference. Parents, and all of the student's teachers, are expected to attend the conference. Scheduled times will be sent home with students this afternoon. So please check with your student to ensure that you aware of your scheduled time(s). We have a very limited availability in regard to rescheduling conference times as we are planning to conduct over 100 conferences over the course of three days, with many of them taking place simultaneously. We will do our best to address conflicts that may arise; however, we cannot guarantee that additional time slots will be available.
