Yesterday was a great day to be a Hawk! Seth Ralston obliterated two meet records in the 110 hurdles and the 300 hurdles.
We also had first place finishes in the Long Jump (Drew Smithers), Triple Jump (Tristan Ziemer), and the High Jump (Ethan Long)!! We also had points spread across the board in the throws and the running events to where we were able to come home with a 1st place finish in the whole meet for the boys.
Great work Track Team!!

Tonight's HS softball game vs St. T. has been postponed.

Here are some of the highlights of last night's track meet.


The Meridian Softball team continues to produce not only wins, but awesome memories as this 2026 Spring season continues.
Last night, senior pitcher Ashley Schelling threw a PERFECT GAME! In 5-innings pitched she did not give up a run, hit, OR walk as she led the team to a 12-0 win over Tuscola. She stuck out 12 batters which meant her defense only needed to produce 3 outs. This is fantastic news for Ashely and our softball team who improved their record to 11-3.
Great job Ashley AND the softball team!!
It's a great day to be a HAWK!

This past weekend vs Pana, Sophomore, Morgan Knierim had an impressive game. She hit for the cycle which means her offensive game included a homerun, triple, double, and single. In fact, she hit 2 singles. That is impressive. Keep up the great work today Morgan and the rest of the softball team as you take on Tuscola.
Both the baseball and softball teams are in Tuscola tonight. Both games start at 4:30.
If you are in town, swing by the school to watch the girl's soccer. They faceoff against Riverton at 4:30.
