“We’re super proud of our cheerleaders,” Hartung said. “The Co-Ed was an all class competition so we’re out there competing with some bigger schools. It’s great to see our kids are able to go out there and compete at high levels.”

Kemmerer Robotics Club wins state event
Hartung also highlighted the Robotics Club at Kemmerer High School as it won awards at the state Vex Robotic Competition as well on March 7th.
It was held at the school this last year and it won the Tournament Champions award, the judge’s award, and the excellence award. Schools from Douglas, Gillette, Star Valley, and Evanston traveled to compete in the event.
“That was a great event, it was the first time we were able to host that,” Hartung said. “It was a lot in part due to our coach, Stuart Perry, he does a great job of promoting robotics. It was a great event, I think our community supported it well and it was great to see our kids come away from that with some trophies.”
He says that there is a release of some rules for events like these where teams need to meet certain criteria. For the year they build robots to compete in the event.
“I know our robotics team started prepping for that this last summer,” Hartung said. “They’ve worked all year in building and refining as they go to different competitions they learn more about what works and what doesn’t work as far as design of their robot.
“That’s a continual process all the way leading up to, in many cases, the morning of competition.”
He says they also qualified for the World Vex Robotic Tournament that was to be held in Louisville, Kentucky. However, he learned last week that competition has been canceled.
