September Boys Cross Country Athlete of the Month: Owen Meier

Owen Meier is the September Boys Cross Country Athlete of the Month. He is the son of Kevin and Dana Meier. It is Meier’s senior year at ADM High School.
Meier has been running cross country starting since middle school when he was in 8th grade. “Actually my favorite sport is soccer. My brother went out for cross country, so he got me involved.”
Meier described that being an Athlete of the Month means to him: ” I am a captain of the team and I put my hard work on the field and at school. It means a lot showing that you work hard and are dedicated–you get awarded. It keeps me going and motivated.”
In recognition of his efforts, River Valley Insurance donated $100 to the ADM Scholarship Foundation.
Your donation will support the student journalists of Adel DeSoto Minburn High School. Your contribution will allow us to purchase equipment, attend conferences, and cover our annual website hosting costs.




![Rhyan Miller is the April student of the month. Miller is the daughter of Charity and Rich Miller, and has maintained a 3.925 GPA. Her three favorite classes in high school have been drama as literature, Prostart II, and news journalism. Miller participates in cross country, theater, individual and large group speech, the prostart team, student council, NHS, silver cord, and track. She feels that her experiences in those activities have made her more extroverted, sharing that she is "not afraid of [her] own voice anymore." Miller plans to attend Winona State University to major in psychology and minor in political science. Her advice to others is to "Fake it 'till you make it." She feels she was selected as student of the month due to her increased active presence in the classroom. She is also thankful for the good parking spot. In honor of her achievements, Raccoon Valley Bank has donated $100 to the ADM Scholarship Foundation.](https://blackandredgister.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/20260427_104331-600x450.jpg)
