๐ฅ: One of the headliners of state track this year was the Hesston @SwatherAD star Ashley Lehman. Saturday saw four more golds go the @HuskerTFXC signee as she leaves Hesston with meet records in the 100, 200, 400 and now pole vault.
One of the best years in KS track history.
One of the most impressive things I've seen. High-schooler Jaslene Massey throwing 52' from a STAND to win the CA state title.
Crazier part? She threw the disc 196' 4" a few hours later ! Oregon is getting a good one.

.@vallman123 wins the Xiamen DL with 68.45m - 3m farther than second place!
The disc comes out of her hand more pure than any thrower I've ever seen. It's the equivalent of a QB throwing a perfect spiral. Some have it, some don't.
A community college professor named Marty Lobdell taught the same study skills lecture for 30 years. The video quietly became one of the most watched educational recordings online, with over 10 million views.
He spent his career watching students fail not because they were lazy, but because no one had taught them how their brain actually works when learning something difficult.
The lecture, โStudy Less Study Smart,โ contains a powerful framework.
Your brain cannot sustain focus the way most people believe. Studies show the average learner hits a wall between 25 and 30 minutes. After that, efficiency collapses. Youโre still sitting there, but almost nothing is being absorbed.
Lobdell told the story of a student who planned to study 6 hours a night, 5 nights a week. Thirty hours total. She failed every class. She was not lacking effort. She was confusing time near books with actual learning. The fix is simple: when focus drops, stop, take a 5 minute rewarding break, then return. That reset makes a massive difference.
He also destroyed the myth of highlighting and re reading. Recognition is not the same as recall. To prove it, he read 13 random letters. Almost no one remembered them. Then he turned them into โHappy Thursday.โ The entire room recalled them instantly. The brain stores meaning, not repetition.
This is why elaborative encoding works so well.
Finally, he shared the most important principle: 80 percent of study time should be active recitation. Close the book and explain the material in your own words. Teach it to someone else or an empty chair. Retrieval is where real learning happens.
His closing line stuck with me: If this information does not change your
behaviour, you have not actually learned it.
The best students do not study more hours. They stop confusing the feeling of studying with the reality of learning.
Not Once, But TWICE!!! This is the second time this year that GCHS Goalie, Jarica Hutcheson, has punted the ball across the field and scored! This time it was to help secure the Lady Buffs a win over Dodge City and advance to their regional Championship! @sportsinkansas#1HERD
