The Holton FFA Freshmen dominated the FFA Leadership Information Test at the NE District FFA Greenhand Leadership Conference on Thursday, Sept. 22. There were 18 schools present with over 350 students. Thirty-eight freshman ag students competed.
According to FFA Advisor Jason Larison, “ They all did an amazing job.”
Holton swept the top 9 gold medals in the information test and had another student tie for the tenth-place medal, out of 350 students tested.
The following competed and medaled in the event: First – Derek Haverkamp 50 (PERFECT SCORE); second-place tie Dean Klahr and Emaleigh Clark 49 (even on tie breakers); fourth place Karl Wilhelm 49; fifth place Braden Sides 49; sixth place Nicole Kathrens; seventh place Tori Bontrager 48; eighth place Nathan Shields 48; ninth place Taryn Weilert 48; tenth place tie Shannon Sides 47.
Holton had six or seven more students in the 40′s. Last year the top score at district was a 46.
“This is the best we have EVER had a group of freshmen do at Greenhand Conference,” Larison said. “I challenged them in class that they have the brain power and ability to sweep the top 10! They rose to the challenge. I am not sure if this has ever been done before. I am very proud of these kids!”
