Max Dierker lead the team with a 12:55 2-mile time, with Connor Coile, Sam Dierker, and 5th grader Carson Campbell rounding out the boys' team. The girls also competed well, with Nora Dierker, Isabelle Friedrich, Jaina Butler, and Peyton Bernhausen running well for the Raiders.

The Raiders boys baseball team used a clutch 1st inning double from Jase Canada and dominant 8th grade pitching to advance to the regional semifinal with a 3-0 victory over Dee-Mack!
The Raiders pitchers were dealing Wednesday night. Winning pitcher Zayne Arthalony dazzled the Dee Mack hitters, tossing 6 and 2/3 scoreless innings allowing only three hits and striking out 16 batters! Max Dierker then picked up the save striking out the only batter he faced!
The Raiders move to 11-6 on the season with a regional semifinal matchup with Tremont Saturday morning at Washington Middle School!


6th grade science created their own leaves representing the resilient "Survivor Tree," a Calley pear tree that was discovered buried in the rubble at Ground Zero.





The Raiders baseball team overcame a slow start on Friday to defeat Lincoln Junior High 13-3!
Trailing 3-2 heading into the bottom of the third the Raiders put up a 5 spot, batting around and putting the game out of reach. Max Dierker picked up the complete game win on the mound, striking out 8 while scattering 2 hits and 2 walks across six innings of work.
Dierker also helped himself at the plate, going 1-2 with 2 RBIs! Breckin Guy and Colten Watts both picked up 2 hits and multiple RBIs on the night and Joe Proehl also picked up a big 2 RBI hit for the now 9-6 Raiders!
In game 2 action Johnny McFarland made his pitching debut in historic fashion, tossing a complete game NO HITTER as the Raiders cruised to victory! Johnny had 12 strikeouts and a hit batsmen was the Railers only base runner. Kaiden Hill also kept his hot hitting going, ripping his third double in as many days for the Raiders!
