DHS' Lawver Holds Top Spots In Class D Field Events

DHS standout Karmen Lawver remains near the top of the state's track and field leader boards in her events.

According to today's Omaha World-Herald, Lawver is currently No. 4 in Class D shot put. The Dorchester sophomore trails leader Kim Urbanovsky of Arnold, who threw a top toss of 40-½, as well as Whitney Collins, Prague, 39-4¾; and Sadie Waugh, Paxton, 38-10½. Lawver's best toss so far this season is an impressive 38-9.

In Class D discus competition, Lawver holds the No. 3 spot. She trails only Sadie Waugh, Paxton, who threw a best of 126-11, and Meka Melvin of McPherson County, who hurled a best of 123-4. Lawver's top throw so far this year is 120-9.

On a related note, we tip our hats to those who organized and attended last Sunday's spaghetti feed benefit at the the Dorchester Fire Hall to raise funds for Lawver's training and competition this summer. It is inspiring to see the community rally around its deserving, hard-working student athletes.

  1. The family of Karmen Lawver would like to thank everyone who attended her spaghetti feed. Karmen was very touched from the support she received from the community. Thank you to all who donated baked goods, gifts for the raffle, and helped during the feed. I hope this example motivates our kids to work hard and be determined to go after their dreams. Also thank you Village Dweller for acknowledging our children's success in this community.

  2. Karmen is a shining example of what a small school and great work ethic can do for a kid. She will benefit from her success long after she is finished with athletic competition.
