A quick look at the goings-on around Central High School

Runners Headed to NXR

On Sunday morning a handful of Cobbler cross country runners will compete at the Nike Cross Regional meet in Sioux Falls. The flat course and incredibly fast race give athletes a good chance at running a PR, and the hoopla and crowds are unmatched, bigger by far than even the State Meet. Five girls have put together a team consisting of seniors Hadley Temple, Adalynn Fischer, Izzy Fischer, Sheridan Madden, and junior Macy Copeland. For the boys, junior Jacob Fox and senior Eric Errea are running. Errea qualified for the boys’ championship race, which, along with the girls’ championship race, is a featured race of the day. That boys’ championship race contains 12 athletes who have already run under 15:00 over a 5K course this season. Will Errea join them in the sub-15 minute club? How many of these seven runners will PR this weekend?

The Ides of November and Julius Caesar

The tragedy Julius Caesar opens next Thursday, November 19th. Ticket sales have been unusually low for the fall play. “Tickets are lower than I would want,” says director Matthew Vidal, but he is still hopeful. “I love it when we have a large student section at our shows.” The show is an action-packed ride filled with sword-fighting, murders, and one great big battle!

So buy a ticket to find out if “Et tu, Brute?” is a compliment and whether it is typecasting when the student body president plays Julius Caesar.

You can get the tickets here or by scanning the QR code on the posters around the school or by visiting the activities office.

T-Shirt Time

The senior t-shirts have been designed. Now seniors need to order a certain size (here’s the form). If they don’t submit an order, we could see this May a couple hundred seniors rocking XXL t-shirts, an unofficial pajama day.
