Two individual runners medaled in the second events of the weekend. One relay team finished 5th and we had our first 7th grade boy pole vaulter at State, setting the school record by clearing 8 feet! Four school records were broken on Saturday, with three broken on Friday, for a total of seven new school records at State!! 12 new school records were set over the course of the season. The Demons had seven student athletes medal in six events overall. Congratulations to all of our athletes! Way to go, Demons!!

The Demons Track & Field Program had a historic first day at State with 6 athletes competing in 7 events, ending with 3 athletes earning State medals as top-eight finishers along with our FIRST EVER STATE CHAMP! Congrats, and get ready for Day 2 of the IESA State Meet! Go Demons!

Another event for MJHS students and staff this week was the annual LWSRA P.E. Takeover! Our friends at LWSRA came to visit our students and shared stories and experiences of student-athletes with disabilities. Students were given lots of opportunities to put themselves in someone else's shoes and to grow through their experiences. Thank you for a great day filled with learning and fun, LWSRA! 💙💙

This week MJHS debuted their first "Cycle Showcase" and what a success it was! Thank you to all of our students who put in a lot of hard work, time, effort, and creativity into all the showpieces! A huge shout out to the Cycle class teachers, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Marshall, Mrs. Duff, and Señora Smith for putting on such a wonderful event! Way to create, learn, engineer, and research, Demons!

Good luck to all of our track & field athletes headed down to state tomorrow! It'll be a beautiful day to PR! Let's go, Demons! 💙👟
