PHOTO OF THE DAY: GAME FACES

This photo of Freeman seventh grader Rylee Peters and Menno senior Raygen Diede was taken as part of The Courier’s State Track Meet preview, but wasn’t used in this week’s edition. Instead, the editor opted for a photo of the two smiling on the track, which can be found on the front page of this week’s issue. The May 26 edition will be available online early Wednesday afternoon and in mailboxes and on news stands starting Thursday morning.
