Central cross country excels at Waukon

The cross country team contributed to Central’s remarkable week in sports, putting in exceptional performances at the Waukon meet Sept. 22, where ribbons were won, personal times were bested and school records fell. 

The high school girls ran in the JV races, a decision that was made “to give all of our runners a chance to run as a group and get a feel for where they are within the group. We thought that could give them a chance to focus on each other and gain some experience toward what we need to work on as a team to be our best down the road in October,” said assistant coach Martha Bauder.

“Wow! I got old. Has it really been 50 years? It doesn’t seem like that long. It seems like it was just yesterday,” Eddie Nelson said, reflecting on the last 50 years of dedicated service as a bus driver at Central School. 

It’s been 50 years of changes, experiences and memories that have shaped him into the city eschewing, small community bound person that he is today. It’s 50 years that also includes working on the family farm, as a fuel delivery driver and as owner of “The Store,” a local convenience store on Bridge Street.
