NGM Cross Country: Birds Remain in the Bush

Submitted by admin on Wed, 10/03/2018 - 4:31pm

We just want to beat the State's Number One Team in Division Three: Darlington. The Redbird strength relies on their Payton H. (16:22) who runs a minute ahead of our New Glarus-Monticello number one athlete, Adam Nelson (17:31). Our power depends on seven running close together and ahead of enough athletes to push the other cross country teams down in the standings.

We had cooler than usual running conditions in Platteville on Saturday. We were also at a different venue as the meet was held at Platteville High School instead of the UW-Platteville course.
Again our hard work has paid off as seen by our results. The boys team placed 6th of 14 teams and the girls were 5th of 9.
Tayler Yapp received a medal, placing 9th for small schools, with a time of 20:59. Gary Salmela was close to being recognized with a 33rd place finish. His time was a personal best of 18:58.
Well done Wildcats! On to Albany this Saturday!

NGM Scores Big Road Win

Submitted by admin on Wed, 10/03/2018 - 4:24pm

Friday, September 28. NGM took its newly re-tooled and re-invigorated offense on the road to face the Panthers of Iowa-Grant. Neither Iowa-Grant nor the flu bug could deny NGM a win on this evening as NGM posted a 41-6 victory.
This was a total team victory on a classic, crisp, made-for-football evening. The offense racked up a season high 428 yards! Coach Mark Stateler’s defense was solid throughout, only grudgingly giving up 6 points in the second period of play. Everyone who dressed saw playing time as junior Cade Howell got his first varsity start at right tackle.

Although many people today understand that mental illness is a medical condition, individuals and families affected by mental illness are still often subjected to stigma and discrimination.
