It was a great weekend for athletes from Kiel High School.

The team earned 2nd place in the Kick competition, 3rd in Jazz, and 4th in Pom, while Seniors Aubrey Loveland, Annika Liermann, and Carson Woods earned All-State honors for their solo performances Friday night.
Meanwhile, the Boys Swim Team participated in the EWC Championship meet Saturday in Two Rivers, featuring four teams.

Kiel/Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah, despite only having four competitors, was right there in every event, finishing the night with five silver medals. The Raiders did earn gold in two events, including Aaron Federwisch in the 100 freestyle, and Kuai Lueck, whose time in the 100 backstroke was five seconds faster than the next closest swimmer.
