#ticketpunched to the State Meet!!!!!

All five scorers PR’d and our two sophomores in 6th-7th ran so tough!

Four girls cracked the top 15 and would have qualified as individuals:
Lourdes Mason 4th
Gabby Cortez 6th
Keirra Hess 8th
Lily Johannes 15th

Alyza Koppes was 16th 👏🏻

[Prairie Cross Country @pxcunited]

The boys are State Meet qualifiers for the 14th consecutive season!!!

Boys edge a great Kennedy team by 2 points for the final spot. Anthony Lee led the way in 7th and Brady Cortez was 13th!

Huge race from Jackson Sickels to finish 3rd for Prairie! Cooper and Canton next!

[Jeff Linder @jtlinder]

Prep cross country:

Prairie boys make it 14 state trips in a row ... barely.

Hawks girls qualify, too, much more comfortably.

Dubuque Hempstead sweeps the team titles.

Slept in my Beatles shirt. Woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head.

Slept in a Chicago t-shirt. Woke up and nobody really knew what time it was. Keep it going…

Slept in a Police t-shirt. Woke up in a cottage on the shore of a dark Scottish lake. Keep it going…

Aren’t they all nu variants?

If we hit the pi variant by thanksgiving, conspiracy theories will explode because there is no WAY Covid-19 can infect my dessert but why is everybody spelling it wrong? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Somehow, it is both true that this is correct, and we continue to diverge…

Hell, I’d even consider signing up for your Advantage program, if you ran the $99 tix through that. What say you, Robert Isom, Doug Parker, and the Board? /end

Hey @AmericanAir corporate - how about you match the energy of your folks in @DFWAirport and @flynashville and elsewhere who have been dealing with thousands of irate passengers with patience, compassion, and competence? Once you get more folks hired and on boarded: 1/

DITO is one of the best features of @UNIEdLead - scenarios are amazingly realistic and it was fun to be on the other side of the office desk this year! Kudos to @pantherprof @mctownsley and both cohorts of aspiring principals!

[Tim Gilson @pantherprof]

It was a long day but huge s/o to the @uniedlead 2020Gold princ cohort on their completion of DITO XIV. One more week……but not this intense! Kudos to ⁦@NJPace40⁩ for his initial vision!!

Opinion: Policymakers keep busy micromanaging public education (and insisting on alternatives), but it's gotten harder and harder to tell what their end goal is, says the Register's editorial board. https://t.co/41V6gjRT9x

“Seeking to remain obscure, this species can be seen only rarely in such environments as natural as an arboretum. Mainly, they prefer the outlying regions of quantum space in which their position and velocity cannot simultaneously be known.”

@Mr_YoungCRW Is that a wild @ikleman10 in its natural habitat, in the background?

[ian kleman @ikleman10]

Hey @ScherrmanAPHist @Mr_YoungCRW - Here is some history I did not know. Mind-blowing historical connections.

"Strange Fruit," a protest song about lynching made famous by Billie Holiday, was written not by an African American activist, but by a Jewish high school teacher from New York.

@CBSMMiller looks at the song's backstory. Warning, the photo that inspired the song is disturbing. https://t.co/Ieu6GFJjsm
