Eight members of the girls track team, including Ne’Kole Harvey (11), qualified for sectionals at Poplar Bluff on May 19.
Harvey qualified in four events including the 100 meter, 200 meter, 4X100 meter relay and the 4X200 meter relay. At the district meet at Lindbergh on May 12, Harvey won first place in the 100 with a time of 12.35 seconds. She then captured first place in the 200 with a time of 1:47.13, which was the team best for the season.

“Her talent is limitless and she has yet to reach her potential,” head coach Mike Bishop said.
The sectionals meet will be in Poplar Bluff on May 19 with the state meet the following weekend at Jefferson City.
![Coach Rodney Gerdes stands with the golf team at state. "[I coach and teach at OHS because] there were teacher openings. It came with the fact there were a bunch of coaching positions...I said 'I'll coach anything' to get a job as a teacher," Gerdes said. He has been coaching and teaching since he got out of college over 20 years ago.](https://myohsonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/IMG_4629-1200x900.jpeg)
