STUDY
SKILLS:
Essay Examinations
part 2
When you follow di-
rections for an essay
exam, pay attention
to the key words the
instructor has includ-
ed. Such words as
"list," "describe,"
"compare and con-
trast," and "outline"
have special meaning.
Don't "write around"
the question but an-
swer it directly. If a
question asks you to
list something, don't
write a narrative
about it. Answering
essay questions di-
rectly is always the
best policy.

LADY BLAZER SOCCER
RESULTS:
The lady blazers
played back to
back games on
Monday and
Tuesday against
two very tough
teams. On Mon-
day we played
Lawrence Free state and de-
spite starting the game well
we could not hold the Free
State offense and conceded 8
goals before the game was
over. We had several opportu-
nities to score but could not
find the back of the net. Last
night we traveled to Mill Val-
ley and played a cold, wet, and
physical game. We started
slow defensively and never
quite figured out how to stop
the very technical Mill Valley
offense. We ended up losing
the game 10-0. Tomorrow we
travel to #2 ranked Blue Val-
ley Southwest to take on the
Timberwolves. JV will start at
4:30 with varsity following at
6:30. C team also plays tomor-
row at home against St. Thom-
as Aquinas at 4:00 pm. We
hope to see you in the stands.

4x400m relay (Henderson, Tanner Hughes, Radel, Chase Abram) 3:31.53 –season best time and #2 in the EKL

place
Jake McIntire, senior, pole vault @ 13’6” and 300m hurdles @ 44.58 (currently the team leader in points scored at 46)
Trae Henderson, junior, 100m dash @ 11.15 –third fastest GEHS junior 100m ever
Tanner Hughes, junior, 400m dash @ 52.76 –a personal best time
The true highlight of the meet came dur-ing the last event—the 4x400m relay. Henderson began the relay by running
the fastest Blazer opening leg since 2009 at 51.88. Tanner Hughes, who runs with tremendous guts, fol-lowed with a personal best of his own at 52.89. Jaylon Radel, in his first 4x4 of his distinguished high school track career, powered to a 52.39 finish on the third leg and sophomore Chase Abram slammed the door shut with a two-second per-sonal best split of 54.15. Their time was 3:31.53 and that shaved seven seconds off our season best thus far and was good enough for second place in the meet and stands #2 in the EKL currently. Unbelievable heart and camaraderie displayed by these four gents on that night.
Our Blazer Invitational is this Friday. Field events get rolling by 3:45. We’d love and appreciate your sup-
port. Go BLAZERS!
