At last week’s coed track meet, Isabella Buckholdt set a new long jump meet record, breaking a mark that had stood since 1987.
That record was originally set by Mrs. Gunderson when she competed as a student at Treynor.
With Mrs. Gunderson also set to retire from teaching this spring, it’s a unique full-circle moment linking her athletic past and teaching career.
Congratulations to Isabella on the new record, and to Mrs. Gunderson on a record that stood for 38 years and her lasting impact. #WeAreTheU
