Happy Friday, Cougar Fans! Athlete Spotlights are one of the things we will be doing throughout this school year. You may have seen our first two covering Seniors Kolbi Johnson & Bryce Rose in the Banner Times. We will be sending those Spotlights to the paper as well as posting them on our website. The website has a section for highlighting these students at the bottom of the Activities page. This is what is pictured below.

Yesterday we shared a post about the Athens community honoring a beloved coach... Tomorrow, it is OUR turn right here in Mason City. The first annual Jimmy Newell Memorial 5K Race will be held beginning at 8 a.m. Registration begins at 7 and it's not too late to get signed up. Even if you are unable to run, it would be great to see plenty of people cheering on the runners.... One of the best traits that Jimmy had was his unwavering and unmatched support of ALL runners. The race begins and ends at the Park Pavillion with the route being run on Jefferson and Division Streets. Looking forward to a great morning to honor the memory of Jimmy and his love of this event. #WeAreIC #BeJimmy

Yesterday...the Illini Central Middle School Cross Country team had a meet in Athens. It was a great day for all of the runners...not just ours. The greatness of the meet had nothing to do with anyone’s PRs or who came in 1st. Athen’s Cross Country coach Mrs. Rhoades used the meet to honor Coach Jimmy Newell. Jimmy was such an influence on so many coaches & runners...not just those here at Illini Central. He shared his love of running with anyone who would listen. Yesterday...the great people from Athens showed the same love for our beloved coach. Thank you, Coach Rhoades & the Athens Warriors. Every single one of us was blessed to have Jimmy influence our lives. We love & miss you, Jimmy. #WeAreIC #BeJimmy
