Douglas High School senior girls basketball player Lauren Olsen has made history.

Another Converse County athlete has broken a school record. The Glenrock Independent reports senior Megann Farley broke the indoor record in pole vault by six inches in the season’s opening weekend. She launched herself over the bar 8 ½ feet in the air.

And Wheatland resident Edna Probst just crossed a big milestone herself. The Platte County Record Times reports she just turned 102! She recommends an apple a day, some popcorn and Mountain Dew, and a bit of a salt block during childhood to increase your chance of longevity. Happy Birthday Edna!
