Albia H. S. had two entries at the Drake Relays this year. Kile Overmyer (Ron and Judy Conner’s grandson) placed 20th in the long jump.
Then Logan Williams (grandfather David Williams) joined Kile and two other chaps to run the 4 X100 relay. The team was 53 in a field of 80.
It is an honor to make it to Drake for these events and so congrats to these young men!

Water tower in Lovilia Receiving an overhaul
You can hear the sandblasting from all over town. The South Dakota men are hard at work removing the old paint, doing welding repairs, and then will paint it fresh and sassy. I am told it will be a four week job. They hang from safety lines and scaffolds. I do not envy them working at that height but I am glad they can keep our tower in good shape. That maintenance has to be done every few years. Hopefully no pilots flying by get lost as the name on the tower is sanded off until the new letters are ready to go on!!
