Screen time; the reality is that there really is no magic number that's "just right." What's more important is the quality of kids' media, how it fits into your family's lifestyle, and how you engage your kids with it. Read more: http://bit.ly/OlyScreenTime

The common themes for the 2020 Olympia Boys XC team are “1st place team finish” and “Charlie Kistner breaks the school record.....again!” Both of those happened again yesterday at the 7-team meet held at Olympia. The Spartans scored 31 points, followed closely by 6th ranked Monticello with 39 points. The top 5 runners for Olympia were senior Charlie Kistner (1st place with a school record time of 14:57.7), senior Logan Wheeler (5th at 15:54), junior Owen Dare (7th at 16:21), junior Anthony Ragland (10th at 16:34), and junior Carter Phillips (12th at 16:39). The guys racked up 7 personal records yesterday. Congratulations to Charlie and all of the guys! Next Saturday at St. Joseph-Ogden, the guys will attempt to defend their 2019 Conference Title. Good luck guys!
Olympia High School hosted a 7-team XC race yesterday and the girls placed 3rd with 75 points, behind #1 ranked Monticello and #3 ranked Tolono Unity. The top five Spartan runners were senior Savanah Beavers (2nd place at 18:26), sophomore Abby Litwiller (10th at 19:30), sophomore Anna Bieber (17th at 20:21), freshman Rachel Andris (22nd at 20:51), and sophomore Chrystal Cornwell (29th at 21:12). The Oly gals tallied 4 season personal records. Congratulations ladies! Good luck next Saturday at the Varsity Conference meet at St. Joseph-Ogden.
