Jasmin Y ader signs to play soccer at Hesston College
Jasmin Yoder became the third
Sweet Home athlete this school
year to sign a letter of intent to play
at the college level, committing
to play soccer next fall at Hesston
College in Kansas.
Yoder signed her letter in a
ceremony at Sweet Home High
School's library Thursday, May
10, flanked by her parents, Dean
and Lola Yoder, and high school
coach Ramiro Santana. She said
she chose Hesston after visiting
there and because it has a "great
nursing program."
Also, her dad attended there,
so it's not completely foreign ter-
ritory, though, Dean Yoder noted,
"It's a long way from here."
Jasmin Yoder said she sees
a program on the rise at Hesston
and she liked what she experienced
there during a Spring Break visit.
Yoder was one of three play-
ers signed in recent days by Hess-
ton College women's soccer coach
Bryan Kehr. In addition to Yoder,
they are Emma Cloud, a midfield-
er/defender from Mesquite High
School in Gilbert, Ariz. and Brooke
Hodgson, a midfielder from Dacula
(Ca.) High School.
"Jasmin will be a great fit in
the Hesston College soccer pro-
gram," Kehr said. "We expect her
to make a significant contribution
on the field next fall and we are ex-
cited with the talent she brings to
the team."
Santana said he expects Hess-
ton to be a "great" fit for Yoder,
whom Hesston has referred to as a

midfielder, but who can play any-
where on the field.
"She knows every aspect of
the game," Santana said. "She can
play any position on the field, ex-
cept, maybe, for goalie, and do a
great job."
After playing softball for three
years, Yoder went out for track this
year and Santana, who also serves
as an assistant with the track team,
said the speedwork is paying off.
"Not many kids have the en-
durance and the ability to move on
the field that she does," he said.
"It's never-ending. Not only that,
she has a great work ethic. She's a
great kid.
"She's one of those you would
like to call your own."

Wednesday, May 9, at Sprague:
The meet was non-scoring
for the Huskies, but it gave them
a chance to polish things up for the
Sky-Em district championships
this Thursday and Saturday, May
17 and 19, at home. It was also a
change of pace from most of the
other competitions this season,
which tended to have concentrated
league representation.
"It was a good tune-up for the
district meet for us." Coach Billy
Snow said. 'It's nice to see different
competition. We saw Elmira virtu-
ally every week.this season. In our
meets at Lebanon and Sprague. we
got to see different schools. Variety
is the spice of life."
Annie Whitfield broke her own
school record in the javelin, throw-
ing 144-2, to lead the Husky girls.
Devyn Makin won the long
jump (16-4) and Jade Corliss
posted .a 3-foot PR in the discus,
throwing 87-11 to win that event.
On the track. Nicole Rasmussen
was the lone winner for the Hus-
kies. running 11.52.20 to finish
ahead of teammate Paige Sanders
(11:56.30).
"Paige had a good 3000,"
Snow said. "All of our distance
kids had a good day, except for the
800 meters, for some reason."
On the boys side. Nick Hall
won the 300 hurdles (40.75), Jake
Johnson won the discus (137-5),
Ashton Stutzman won the high
jump (5-8) and Scottie Stockman
won the pole vault (11-6) with
teammate Nick Mattson second at
9-6.
The boys 4x400 relay team
also won. in 3:38.34.
The Sprague meet featured
varsity athletes, as the junior var-
sity district meet was held Tuesday,
May 8. at Cottage Grove.
Winners for Sweet Home
were Karson Rodgers in the girls
100 (14.69) and Kyle Wodtli in
the boys shot put (36-8), ahead of
teammate Shawn Worthen. second
with 35-11!4.
Wodtli also placed second in
the javelin (124-10). McKenzie
Curtis placed second in the pole
vault (6-6) for the girls, Phoebe O1-
son was third in the girls long jump
(12-3 ¾) and Joe Hefty was third in
the boys triple jump (32-9).
Snow said he believes his team
is in good shape for the district
competition, which will begin at 2
p.m. with field events and 4 p.m.
on the track on Thursday, and at 11
a.m. and 1 p.m. Saturday. Cost is
$4 for adults and $2 for students.
He said he expects La Pine to
be the leader on the boys side and
Sisters on the girls.
"They don't have a lot, but
what they have is very, very good,"
he said of the Hawks. "Behind
them are us and Cottage Grove,
battling it out."
La Pine's Jeremy Derosiers has
the top 200 time in the league - by
half a second, thebest long jump
mark (22-0) and is a threat to win
the 400 as well. The Hawks also
have the top 300 hurdler in Col-
ton George(40.59). though Sweet
Home's Hall could challenge him;
and the top 4x100 relay team. led
by Derosiers: the top shot putter,
Travis Harrison (47-11), and two
14-foot pole vaulters in Eion Mrck
(14-10) and Dylan Seay (14-6),
who lead the league.
On the girls side. Sisters looks
to be a clear favorite, led by soph-
omore Zoe Falk. who has size-
able leads in the league in the 800
(2:20.51) and the 1500 (4:52.99)
going into districts. She also has
the second-longest long jump
mark, 16-7¾. The Outlaws also
have depth in both the 400. the
800 and the 100 hurdles, in which
they have the league leader in se-
nior Chelsea Reifshneider (16.18),
who also leads in the 300 hurdles
(47.91).
Sisters also leads the league in
both relays. On the field, they have
significant depth in the high jump,
the pole vault and the long jump.
"Sisters is way ahead." Snow
said. "Behind them it's pretty tight-
ly packed."
Husky boys who are league
leaders going into the meet are Dan-
iel Danforth in the 3000 (9:25.05)
and Johnson in the discus (147-9).
On the girls side, Rasmussen leads
in the 3000 (11:08.02), Whitfield
in the javelin (144-2) and Makin in
the long jump (17-2½).
Sweet Home athletes have
performed well in recent district
meets and Snow said his crew is
ready to go.
"We'll rest them up this week,
just work on finer details," he said.
"Being home will be nice. They get
extra rest time. They know the fa-
cility in the field events. It's always
nice."
