Miguel Sanson

Delavan-Darien Junior Miguel Sanson qualified for the WIAA Division 2 State Wrestling Tournament! He’ll compete in the 120-pound weight class on Thursday, Feb. 23 at the Kohl Center in Madison. Sanson, who is 27-18 on the season, will square off against Colton Nicolay of Lodi, a freshman who is 31-13. The winner will advance to take on Ellsworth senior Sawyer Strom, 36-8.

Sanson is the first DDHS wrestler to participate at state since 2014, when then-senior Cody Chelminiak represented the Comets in the Division 2 126-pound weight class.

Sanson has 10 pins on the year with three technical victories and three major victories, according to TrackWrestling.com.

For more information about the state meet, visit the WIAA website at: https://www.wiaawi.org/Sports/Wrestling.aspx

There, you can find tickets to the event and live tournament tracking brackets.

Sanson is scheduled to wrestle about 7:15 p.m. Thursday. Sanson and some of his teammates will have a drum-line escort throughout the halls of DDHS Wednesday afternoon so the student body can recognize his accomplishment! Sanson is coached by former Comets wrestler Diego Avila.

Good luck, Miguel! We’re all #DDCometProud of you!

Students taking part in shaping, improving culture of their school

TRAIL group members who attended the DRIVEN Leadership Conference were, from left, Andrew O’Neil, Karina Torres, Beatriz Garnica (kneeling), Ryan Severson, Katelyn Rosenow and Sam Grover.

A new student leadership group is taking shape at Delavan-Darien High School with ambitious goals to change the culture within the school for the better.

The TRAIL Group, — which stands for Teamwork, Respect, Accountability, Integrity, and Leadership — is already making an impact.

The growing team of 34 students from all grade levels have already put good ideas into motion.

There are:

• greeters at the doors when students walk into the building;
• new athletics posters have gone up with sports team schedules, encouraging attendance at events;
• students update a looping slideshow on the Commons TV with up-to-date school information and photos;
• there’s a “birthday wall” where students who are having a birthday during the month are recognized;
• a group of students is looking into creating an “honor wall” for alumni who have served in the U.S. military;
• students are working together with the staff “climate committee” to find other ways to improve.

“We can’t make all these changes happen with out the kids wanting them,” said Principal Jim Karedes. “They are coming forward with great ideas and we’re listening. We’re just getting started. We’re not even to 5 percent of what this group is going to become. When it really takes off, we’re going to see more attendance at dances, at our sporting games. We’ll have a better all around school atmosphere. It’s exciting stuff.”

Members of the TRAIL have attended three leadership conferences since the start of the school year to help them sharpen their skills and get ideas for climate improvements.

The conferences included one with other Southern Lakes Conference schools at Burlingtion High School, a seminar at Carroll University in Waukesha and the “DRIVEN” conference at UW-Whitewater.

“Eventually, we want every student to be in TRAIL,” Karedes said. “If you’re a student and you want to bring about positive change, we want you to be a part of it.”

On Tuesday, February 28, Delavan Darien High School has ACT testing. The ACT Test is a college and career readiness assessment that all juniors in the state need to take. All juniors are required to attend school that day and must be here no later than 7:30 AM. Students are welcome to show up as early as 7 a.m.

There will be no school for freshmen, sophomores or seniors that day (Tuesday, February 28). Buses will run as regularly scheduled for all juniors. ACT Testing should be completed by 1 p.m. that day, at which time students may leave school or wait until the buses run at 2:43 p.m.

All students will be back in school on Wednesday, March 1. Juniors will be taking the ACT WorkKeys assessment on that day.

During the ACT assessments, it is important your child eat breakfast and get plenty of sleep the night before.

Thank you, in advance, for helping your child prepare for the upcoming testing.
