Running with Blair Broermann

By Lea Peregrine
Shes the girl that could
race for days, the girl that
could never run out of endurance; you guessed it
right, Blair Broermann!
Blair is the daughter of Brian Broermann and Melanie
Herron. Her father is married to Michelle Broermann
and her siblings include
Christine, Bryce, and Brendon. Her mother is married
to Reno Herron and Blairs
siblings include little sister,
Presley, and older brother,
Sean. Added to the love coming from her siblings, Blair
also has several nieces and
nephews.
As her family, like many
others, make such great
memories, Blair remembers
clearly going out to the farm
with her dad as a child and
the several family gatherings.
Blair lives a busy schedule with babysitting and being in charge of the nursery
at her local church. She has
been involved in numerous
activities throughout her
high school career. Blair has
been running cross country
for four years and track for
four years. She has also been
in NHS for three years and
also had the opportunity to
be a D.A.R.E role model this
year. Her favorite hobbies
include babysitting and
hanging out with her nieces
and nephews. Some of her
favorite things to do include

watching Greys Anatomy

and her main movie, 4 Minute Mile. She enjoys snacking on French fries while
cheering on the Kansas City
Royals and the Kansas City
Chiefs.
Blairs plans after high
school include becoming a
Bearcat at Northwest Missouri State University in
Maryville, Missouri. Her
main goal is to get on the
right track to become a first
grade teacher.
I asked Blair a few irrelevant questions that do not
pertain to her whatsoever
and she came back with
some answers for us.
Would you give up all
social media for the rest of
your life for $10,000?
Yes, I could buy more
shoes.
Snowy days or rainy
days?
Rainy
How much wood would
a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
No clue
How many licks does it
take to get to the center of a
tootsie pop?
1,000
Are you always late,
early, or on time?
Early
Now you guys know Blair
and her plans for after high
school! We congratulate
Blair as she embarks on
her journey to college after
graduation!

Ethan Riley: Good Ol Country Boy

By Kaitlin Miller
Ethan Wade Riley is the
son of his current stay-athome mom, Rhonda, and his
farmer father, Jeff. Ethan
has one brother, Dalton, who
graduated from Tarkio High
School in 2009. Also includ-

ed in their family are one

spoiled blue-heeler puppy
named Ellie and seven pigs.
Ethan has grown up working on the farm and helping
out with whatever he could.
He told a story from back
when he was a child about
a bucket calf he had named
Rosie. I would never have to
lead her because she would
follow me. Every day she followed me from the barn to
the house and I would sit in
the yard with her. Farming
has influenced Ethans life
so much that he plans on attending Northwest Missouri
State University after high
school in order to major in
agricultural sciences.
Not only does he show
his dedication on the family
farm, but Ethan goes above
and beyond when it comes to
his involvement in this com-
