Three Sport Athletes Are Recognized
by Kim Lingenfelter
November 20, 2007
Tuesday night, November 20th we recognized the accomplishments
of our athletes and also inducted students into national honor
society. We should all be thankful that we live in a small town –
we should be especially thankful that many of our athletes are also
our honor students.
In Bloomfield, Nebraska our students represent the classical Greek
model of a well-rounded individual – the Greeks postulated that a
person should work towards excellence in both athletics and in
scholarship. There are communities where student athletes have
difficulty in being taken seriously by their peers and faculty –
not true here – be thankful.
We have many young people in this school that donate their time and their talents to make our athletic programs successful. These students have volunteered at least 350 hours to their respective programs – summer camps, summer leagues, weightlifting, conditioning, practices, and long bus rides – just to play – be a part of the team. There are things we can’t teach in the classroom that can be taught through participation in activities. Several student athletes were recognized who volunteered their time to participate in not just their favorite sport – but a sport every season. Those students are:
Tyler Abbenhaus FB/BB/G
Kristen Allen VB/BB/T
Curtis Boschult FB/BB/T
Mickey Doerr FB/BB/T
Lynndsy Hauger VB/BB/T
Morgan Kauth FB/BB/G
Ashley Laible VB/BB/T
Isaac Mertens XC/BB/T
Nick Mertens FB/BB/T
Nick Nipp FB/BB/T
Emma Wagner XC/BB/T
Will Yunker FB/BB/T
There is a wall in the hallway outside the office door that will become a tribute to three sport athletes – pictures and names will be hung on that wall at the end of the 2007-2008 school year that recognize the students that participate in three sports this year – each and every student at BHS is encouraged to participate in any activity where your physical presence might help Bloomfield Community Schools – this is your time – these are your glory days.
Congratulations three sport athletes - keep up the good work!
