Two ladies with high achievement as their goal. Hard work pays off as they represent our school and community in this festive event in Omaha. Pole Vault? We never knew she even did that since Wausa doesn’t have a Pole Vault pit. Is this a misprint or just a trick to stir some curiosity?
“May the FORCE(S) be with you!!”
Thank you. There was an error on that. It has been corrected.
