OTN PRIDE Our FFA Forestry team competed over the weekend and wow, are we proud of them!! 41 teams competed at the national level and our squad consisting of Jorri VanDyke, Trenton Payne, Peter Rudolphi, and Victoria Rudolphi finished in 4th place overall. Let me repeat, this was a 4th place finish at the national level. Only the states of Georgia, Minnesota, and Kentucky placed higher than us. Tiger pats on the back go out to the individuals on the team - Trenton Payne placed 7th overall, Jorri VanDyke captured 16th place, Victoria Rudolphi came in 20th place, and Peter Rudolphi finished in 53rd place. The JROTC Tiger Battalion's Rifle Team hosted its 2nd Regional Advanced Marksmanship Competition against Mattoon and Washington High Schools this past Saturday in Vets Hall. As individual shooters, the Tigers captured 1st and 3rd place finishes, and as a team the Tigers maintained their winning streak 2 years in a row by winning 1st place with a team average score of 268. That’s some excellent marksmanship. We want to throw some Tiger roars to our Cross Country team as they competed in Sectional competition over the weekend. Tatum David placed first overall. Boy, is she fast!! Slow it down in the hallways Tatum. Her first place finish means she will compete in the state meet this weekend in Peoria. Pats on the back go out to Mackenzie Thomas as she placed 51st. Karlee Piercefield finished in 90th place, Danielle Clodfelter placed 99th, Briley Kocher finished in 112th place, and Kennedy Travis placed 119th.

The Marching Tigers racked up caption awards for Best Percussion (3A), Best Auxiliary (3A), Best Music (3A), and Best Visual (3A).
