The Varsity Volleyball team was defeated by Jerome on Saturday, Oct. 15. This was the district play-in game, which unfortunately means that the team’s season is over. The Lady Tigers fought hard, did a great job, and represented Mountain Home High School very well.
Mountain Home’s Junior Tigers recently competed in their final meet of the season, representing Mountain Home at the districts level. All of the athletes did an exceptional job and showed heart and determination. That determination was made clear in the results, too, as the tigers made their impact on the meet. Some highlights include:
MHHS and the community would like to welcome Coach Urquidi back as the varsity track coach.
Coach Urquidi stated, “I am excited to be back with Tiger Track & Field. I am excited to see what great things this year’s season will bring.”
State Cross Country took place in Lewiston Idaho on Saturday. Our girls team took 12th place overall and many of our girls ran their season best times. Julia Gilbert took 14th place overall with a time of 18.50.88 and now holds the school record!!!! A very nice showing for our cross-country team, congratulations we are proud of you!
Coach Giles had this to say: "We may not have placed in the top 4 in team scores...but we had a great race day. 5 out of the 7 runners ran beating their PR times. Julia Gilbert now holds the school record with a race time of 18.50.88 (beating the previous record by almost 12 seconds). She also medaled, in 14th place. What a great way to end the '22 XC season!"
