Maries R2 schools had three kids compete in the Missouri State Show Me Games today in Columbia. Nolie Finnegan (freshman) took 1st in the 3000 meter race and 3rd in the 1500 meter race. Emberlynn Miller (3rd grade) took 9th place in the long jump, Harper Ridenhour (4th grade) took 6th in the long jump.
