On Thursday, August 22nd, the Ainsworth Girls Golf team started their competition season at the O’Neill Invitational tournament. The long yardages and tree-lined fairways on this course consistently provide challenges for the golfers. In spite of the windy conditions, the Ainsworth golfers posted some competitive scores for the start of the season. The varsity results are as follows:
Braylin R. - 125
Jordan B. - 129
Jaden L. - 139
Hannah B. - 149
Terra S. - 155
Jordan and Terra saw 14 and 11 stroke improvements from their 18-hole scores at this tournament last year.
Two golfers were able to represent Ainsworth in JV competition. Madison P. carded a 137, and Grace G. posted a 160 on the day.
The team looks forward to a busy week with the West Holt scramble on Tuesday, August 27th and the Ainsworth Invite on Thursday, August 29th with a 9:30 AM shotgun start at the Ainsworth Golf Course.

On Thursday, August 15th, the sixth graders learned about the American Burying Beetle (ABB). This species is threatened, but doing pretty well in the Nebraska Sandhills. Our guest speaker, Jen Corman, is a wildlife biologist with the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission. She showed us some beetles that are similar to the ABB, but not threatened. It was very interesting!
