After filming a “curl my hair with me” video for her TikTok account on Jan. 29, freshman Audrey Squires went viral, reaching over 4.2 million views and almost 450 thousand likes on her video.

It wasn’t until Audrey woke up the next morning after posting the video on her account, @EverydaywithAudrey, that she noticed the video’s success.

“I just remember being really surprised,” Audrey said. “I woke up and the video had around 100,000 views and throughout the day it kept getting more and more views. And then once every three weeks [the video] will get another 500,000 views, it’s just really crazy.”

Forest elephant vs honey bee. Most people would say that the elephant has the easy victory in this situation but Junior Mallory Wilkerson decided to take the risk and side with the bee for one of the first rounds in the biology class March Mammals Madness competition.

The honey bee created an upset by not only beating the elephant in the first round but also defeating the Flame Bowerbird in the second round of the animal tournament. Wilkerson ended up winning the tournament in her IB Biology class with 82 points out of the possible perfect bracket 128.

“I did get into it and I looked up every single animal, and the how the weird battlefields worked or whatever the habitat was,” Wilkerson said. “Most of it was just applying some logic but [the March Mammal Madness tournament] was a fun and easy way to get some extra credit.”

Senior Mary Long dug her teal shoes into the grass

Senior Mary Long dug her teal shoes into the grass — positioning herself to jog a lap around the field. Her hair and red jersey waved as her jog turned into a run.

She couldn’t help taking a victory lap around the newly built Kansas City Current stadium. It was her first time seeing the fully completed stadium and she was ecstatic.

Her victory lap ended as she met up with her family and prepared to take pictures in front of their accomplishment — the world’s first stadium dedicated solely to a women’s sport.

The “East Chant” or also known as the “Vikin

The “East Chant” or also known as the “Viking Chant” has been passed down to underclassmen band members for years. At the pep rally on April 11, senior Dylan Levitan passed down the tradition to Sophomore Dexter Stephens.

“Around that time we were struggling as a school to bring unity between all the student support groups at home games,” Band Teacher Alex Toepfer said. “When the student section started doing the Viking chant with Syd and the big Bass Drum, combined with an arrangement of 7 nation army I wrote out for the band, it really clicked and quickly became a tradition, and I feel like it's helped create a really positive, unifying, and fun atmosphere for our home games.”
