Hoping for a Return

Sara Reifenrath competes at the State track meet at Omaha Burke Stadium last May. She is hoping she will get the chance this year to defend her State titles in the sprints. 

Golf teams are hoping they can take to the course

HARTINGTON — COVID-19 has hit the sporting world hard.

Everybody is just going to have to play it by ear, said HNS golf coach Ken Kneifl.

“Of utmost importance is the health and safety of the kids and of everyone. Of course, we want to play and compete but really, we need to do what is necessary to get this virus under control,” he said.

Then of course, a season in limbo is not something easy to wrap your mind around.

HARTINTON — COVID-19 has had no empathy for any walk of life across the planet while sports have taken a big hit across the globe.

This includes high school sports throughout America and the state, as the Nebraska School Activities Association (NSAA) has halted all practices in Nebraska until the end of the month, and competition until April 2. 

The Cedar Catholic track team had plenty of hope for this season – ones that are still intact today – and await the state’s decision on going forward.

“This is all uncharted waters for us, so we are trying to go on at this point,” Trojans head coach Chad Cattau said. “We have created a Facebook page for our team members, and we are placing daily workouts on there for them to follow.”
