The East Lake Andes Lutheran Church finished the harvesting of their “church ground” on October 9th. This has been an annual tradition for at least the last 60 years.

This year the church rented 80 acres from Gary Paul with 70 of them tillable and 10 acres Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) ground. Church members, Curt Soulek and Austin Weber, took the lead on organizing and planning the planting, harvesting, and everything else in between of the ground.

For Andes Central/Dakota Christian (ACDC) senior, Nadia VanZuidam, this was both her first and her last year of cross-country. With this being her first year participating in cross-country, she did not really know what to expect. Nadia went out for cross-country with the goal of getting in shape during her off-season, but she did set goals for her cross-country season which included finishing every race, not getting last place and improving her time.
