The Ipswich tracksters had a very productive State B weekend on May 25, 26 and 27 in Sioux Falls. "What a year," said IHS Coach Todd Thorson at the welcome home event Sunday night. That's because the Tiger boys would tie for first in their team standings along with Gregory with 54 points apiece. Meanwhile the IHS girls would finish in eighth place with 28 points there. And in both cases they were mostly led by second through eighth placements, rather than firsts. And that would be expected at...

And congratulations to the Edmunds Central and Ipswich boys golfers who will both be competin...
