Sixth graders used how fast a student can run 50 feet in seconds to determine how fast they could run in miles per hour! After collecting data from several students, we determined Sophia Parker could run 10.08 miles in an hour!!

Game Day @ Clifton Clyde:

Story by Tyler Lyhane (KSHSAA official during the Valley Heights football game vs Sacred Heart)
"Tonights football game against Salina Sacred Heart marks the 100th varsity sports contest that Valley Heights Senior Parker Winslow participated in as a student manager. Anyone who has had the opportunity to be around Parker knows that he has a high level of respect for the officials and does anything a crew needs to make a game run smoothly. You will often see him helping teams on both sides of the contest to ensure they feel welcome and are able to compete at their highest level. Tonight, Parker was recognized by being the guest for the coin toss after a short ceremony was held in his honor. Parker has told us he dreams of becoming an athletic director someday, and our crew is sure there will not be a better candidate. Good luck to you in the future, Mr. Winslow, the Mustangs, their opponents, and the officials are all sure to miss you next year." Tyler L.
