What's Happening at Immanuel?

 The Lord has blessed our students in many ways, academically and athletically and in a number of other ways. Here are two examples of the athletic gifts with which our students have been blessed. Cross Country Report:  Our cross-country team put in another great performance at the Dairyland Conference meet in Augusta. In spite of having 4 runners out sick, six of our Lancers set new personal bests, and  our boys managed to bring home the Dairyland Conference Champion trophy for the second year in a row!  Congratulations to our Lancers for their hard work all season long that led up to this, and especially to our all-conference athletes: Logan Thompson (1st place, conference champion), Dulton Eberhardt (6th), Simeon Schaller (8th), Caleb Eichstadt (9th), and Lydia Kloke (9th). A special THANK YOU to all the fans who came out to cheer on our Lancers!

We are excited that the 2024 Convention voted to continue moving forward with the gymnasium portion of the The Immanuel Long Range Expansion Committees' recommendation. You can find information about the effort here . The initial plan was to work toward both a new gym and a new fine arts center. Covid and large inflation numbers made the combined cost prohibitive and since the fine arts building can't be completed until there is a new gym to use (the site of the new fine arts center is where the current gym is located), the Convention voted to separate the projects and move forward with gymnasium portion. As can be seen from the site linked here , funding for the gym portion is at 45% of the estimated total cost. Try the codes below for a much better picture of the plans.

After going undefeated in an early tournament in Black River Falls and going 3-3 in a large school tournament at Memorial, the Lady Lancers participated in the a  tournament featuring powerful catholic schools from around the state. All teams present were ranked in the top 10 in either Division 4 or 5. If you weren't able to be present to watch the matches live, here are some links to the weekend games. Spoiler: the girls swept all five matches in 10 straight sets. Impressive stuff! Lancers vs. Eau Claire  Regis Lancers vs. Stevens Point  Pacelli Lancers vs. Wausau  Newman Lancers vs. Chippewa Falls  McDonell Lancers vs. Marshfield  Columbus 

While the weather so far this September has still felt a lot like summer, the fall activities are certainly underway. Flag football is something that has been a campus activity for about as long as most people can remember. It has seen pretty solid involvement and excitement from the high schoolers almost every year. When Covid-19 hit, however, it took a toll on the number of people that played, and there were a few down years in participation. We are happy to report that has not been the case for the last three years now, and flag football is thriving! Under the guise of a new name, the IFFL (Immanuel Flag Football League) has upped the standard for flag football here at Immanuel. This year featured the 2nd annual draft 'combine' for high schoolers to showcase their different talents before the drafting of teams took place by 4 of the college boys on the highly anticipated draft night. There is also a very balanced participation among the classes, with 10 Freshman, 7 Sophomore

  We can describe this season's second meet at Stanley-Boyd with two words: hills and heat! In spite of the tough course and hot weather, we still had more than half our runners (12 out of 21) beat their times from the first meet, and had 4 who placed high enough to earn medals: Lydia Kloke (8th), Katie Kloke (10th), Logan Thompson (6th), and Simeon Schaller (10th). Our team now has one day to rest before Saturday's meet at Fall Creek. The photo was taken by one of our parents of this year's seniors: Alek Daub, Caleb Eichstadt, Daniel Kloke, Logan Thompson, and Tyler Gallaher.

  It was a beautiful day on the field last Friday for our football combine. Check out this  2024 ILC Flag Football  album for some photos from Friday's practice. Additional photos will be added to this album throughout the season. The teams and schedule are now set! Go to this link for the  ILC Flag Football Teams, Schedule, Scores, Stats .  This Friday games will be played at 3:15 and 4:15 pm at the Stein Fields. If you need a ride, I'll be driving a white van to the field, leaving from the flagpole at 3:00 pm. Week 1 features matchups of Team 1 Cougars (blue)  vs  Team 4 Buffaloes (grey)  at 3:15  Team 2 Cyclones (red/maroon)  vs  Team 3 Cowboys (black)  at 4:15 It's going to be about 85 degrees on Friday, so remember to bring water!
