It was a historic day for the MRH cross country program!

The varsity girls kicked off the Class 3 District 1 Championships held at Arcadia Valley. Emma Loos became first female state qualifier in 4 years with a 25th place finish. In doing so, Emma became the fastest female in MRH history. Her time of 20:56 was nearly a minute faster than the previous school record.

Haley Ganey and Nessa Molloy also ran faster than the previous school record and finished 35th and 36th, respectively. Emma, Haley and Nessa are now 1, 2 and 3 on the cross country record board. Also getting on the record board was Katelynn Matz, who put herself as #3 sophmore with her time of 23:12. The girls team also set a new school record with a top-5 average of 22:26. The team was rounded out by Penelope Mohr, Sarah Simonis, and Sophia Matz. What an incredible season for the team!

The varsity boys team qualified for the State Championship for the third year in a row with a 2nd place finish at districts, just 4 points behind top-ranked Herculaneum. The team had 5 runners earning All-District honors. Alex Fuoss led the way in 4th place, followed by Evan Loos in 6th, Quin Maxwell in 7th, Andy Fuoss in 9th and Kellan Brown in 29th. Will Anderson rounded out the team in 49th place. The team's top-5 average of 16:47 breaks the previous school record by over 45 seconds. Alex, Evan, Quin and Andy are now the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th fastests runners in school history. Quin is also #2 all-time for juniors while Evan and Andy are #1 and #3 respectively all-time for sophomores.

Thank you for all the friends and family (and pets) who came out to support the team! Good luck to all the MRH runners next Friday at the State Championship!

MRH students recently attended Alberici’s Construct Your Future career event, where they had the opportunity to explore careers in the construction industry, learn about different career pathways, and connect directly with professionals in the field. Through hands-on experiences and meaningful conversations, students gained insight into the skills, training, and opportunities that shape careers in construction. Experiences like this bring MRH’s School as Apprenticeship philosophy to life, connecting classroom learning with real-world experiences and helping students explore possibilities for their futures.

Simply incredible.

MRH junior Sara Kolar has won her second straight Missouri State Girls Golf Championship! In 2025, Sara won the state title with a 36-hole total of 7-over 151 at Meadow Lake Acres Country Club. Yesterday, she repeated as state champion, shooting 8-under 136 over 36 holes at Bogey Creek Golf Club in Farmington, the second-best score in tournament history. So very proud of this extraordinary scholar-athlete!

Thank you to Maryville University and ApolloKage for coming out to our Smash Brothers practice. ApolloKage has been ranked in the top 50 in the world and is currently pursuing a business degree at Maryville. Despite his busy competition schedule and coursework, he has still found time over the last two years to come out and do some outreach with our program to help us improve. It is a really awesome experience for our kids to get to ask questions to a player going to college for free by doing something he loves. Thank you for coming out and good luck to our players in the last few weeks of our season.

Playoffs start 11/9
State championship will be 12/11 and 12/12 (stay tuned, we will have some kids there this year)
