Athletics: Day 1

Opening day athletics for 2025 Cornhusker Boys Staters got into the action today as they took the field, stepped up to the plate, and hit the courts in competitions that pit their newly founded towns and teammates against each other. Camaraderie is palpable on each floor, that is evident. Chemistry among teammates are still in their early stages.

Tuesday Sports Extra: Spotlight on the Pentathlon

Their are athletes at Cornhusker Boys’ State, and then their are pentathletes. These men will compete, not only in a regular sport such as football, basketball, softball, or volleyball; but also in six tests of athletic skill (the score from their lowest-scoring event is dropped, hence pentathlon). These include: the 40-yard dash, the pro-agility run, free throws, the 300-yard shuttle run, the shot put, and the vertical jump. This afternoon, the pentathletes hit the basketball court to try their hands at free throws.
