It has been hard to keep up with all the Spring action here at Meridian. Wanted to take a quick moment to summarize the last few days of Hawks softball, baseball, soccer, and track. Below are just some of the highlights.
The baseball team is off to a hot start this season starting off the year 3-0. The offense has been dominate scoring 46 runs and only giving up 7 so far. The discrepant runs scored vs runs allowed is directly connected to strong pitching and a variety of ways to score runs as a team. It has been a team effort for the baseball squad, but the team was bolstered with strong pitching from Grady Stock last Thursday as he threw a complete game shutout against Cerro Gordo. Danny Enlow pitched 3 innings without giving up a hit on Saturday against Unity Christian.
The Softball team is also off to a great start as they won both games on Saturday in a Triangular in Casey. This makes them 2-0 as we begin the season. Both games were gritted out as the girls won by one run in each game. In the game vs Charleston Ashley Schelling recorded 9ks while in the circle. Morgan Knierim racked up 5 hits while Shelby Renfro gathered 4. Great effort girls!
The soccer team is 1-1. Last night, Grace Moyer knocked in a goal as time was beginning to wind down to win 1-0 in a close and highly competitive match.
In the track and field world, Drew Smithers is currently sitting with a rank of 23rd in the state of Illinois for indoor long jump. Great job Drew....keep it up!

Meridian Middle School would like to thank Krekel's Macon for their support of Meridian Athletics.
In a generous effort to support the Meridian Volleyball team, Krekel's donated an ice-cream cone to each student who rode the fan bus over to Sullivan to watch the Sectional Championship. The kids thought this was pretty cool.
Next time you are at Krekel's buying one of their famous cheeseburgers, be sure to say thanks for their support.
Thank you Krekel's!

Our student body showed up BIG tonight and did a fantastic job of cheering our team to victory. They did a great job of encouraging, being loud, and were unified behind our girls. We had the louder side of the gym by far and the girls knew it.
Thank you HAWK NATION for brining the support.
Words aren't enough to express the gratitude.
