LOUISVILLE LION TRACK AND FIELD
In Action...
Lions Face Tough Competition (4-21-11)
The Louisville Lions ran into their toughest competition of the season at the annual Platteview
Invitational.
Besides the cool temperatures and cold breezes, a staple this spring for the LHS track and field squads, the teams also had to face strong challenges from perennial Class B powers.
Senior exchange student Kristin Brandstrom was the top Louisville finisher, scoring a third place in the 800 meters in a time of 2:38.1 just ahead of Sydney Stander, who placed fourth in the event. The duo then teamed with Paige Higginbotham and Ashley Sjogren to form the fourth place 4x800 relay team which recorded a time of 11:03.2

Louisville does well at...
SKILLS USA
All together there were 50 students who attended the SkillsUSA State Leadership and Skills Conference in Hastings. Highlights from the conference was when Louisville received two awards. One was the 100% chapter award. This award is given to chapters who have all students enrolled in SkillsUSA. Louisville has all students who are in Industrial technology classes, members for the 2010-2011 school year. Only two school in the state received the award. Louisville was one.
The second award Louisville received was the Chapter Builder Award. This award is given to the chapter which has the largest member increase from the previous year. Each chapter in the state is eligible to receive this award based on it's membership. Louisville had an increase of 22 new members for the 2010-2011 school year, and has a total of 64 student members in our chapter.
Another note of recognition is that sophomore Konner Lamb will be representing Louisville High School as a SkillsUSA Nebraska State Officer. Each year SkillsUSA members can run for state office. There are seven offices that are available each year to campaign for. To run for office, Konner had to give a speech in front of delegates, have a question and answer session and also campaign during the conference. Konner will serve a one year term. His duties will include going to the SkillsUSA National conference in Kansas City as a voting delegate for Nebraska, he, along with the other state officers will plan and coordinate conferences throughout the year and act as ambassadors for SkillsUSA across Nebraska.
Finally, freshman Tucker Sjogren will be representing Louisville and Nebraska at the National Skills and Leadership Conference in June, held in Kansas City. Tucker was awarded 1st place in the pluming contest. Tucker's contest required him to install a sink, PVC pipe, a toilet and solder copper pipe which was pressure tested for leaks. Tucker competed against 10 other students from across the state.
