Two exceptional athletes move on from NPHS
New Prague High School
has had its share of exceptional athletes over the years,
but the Class of 2016 has
two athletes whose accomplishments are unmatched
by anyone in school history.
Griffin Parriott lettered
six times in wrestling, qualifying for five state tournaments and three state championships during his career.
Along the way he surpassed
the school record for wins
and established himself as
one of the top wrestling recruits in the nation.
Maria Berg hasn’t won
any state championships,
but her sustained success in
athletics year-round is impressive. Berg has earned
18 varsity letters, six each in
cross country, Nordic skiing
and track and field. She is a
nine-time state qualifier and
hopes to qualify for a 10th
state meet at next week’s
Section 2AA track and field
meet.

It’s no surprise that Maria Berg took to running.
Her parents, Mark and Julia, were both distance runners… her mother competed

“I really enjoyed the challenges of dual meets, cheering for teammates,” he said.
he also benefitted from some
strong training partners in
the wrestling room, one
of whom was Maria’s older brother James. The two
trained together a lot, and
James finished second in his
weight class at state in 2015.
Maria saw the same attitude on the track and on the
ski and cross country courses. She said it was gratifying going to state in Nordic

career and holds the school record for wins in a career.
Maria’s interest in skiing
led to the school setting up a
cooperative sponsorship for
the sport with Prior Lake.
She and several other students would compete with
the Lakers’ program during
the regular season, but she
would represent New Prague
at the section and state
meets. She was a four-time
state qualifier in Nordic skiing, a three-time qualifier in
cross country and has qualified twice so far in track and
field.

Griffin, on the other hand,
specialized in one sport
through his high school
years, and he became quite
good at it.
“I played baseball and
football up until seventh
grade, but I decided wrestling is what I wanted to do,”
he said. “My dad put me
into wrestling when I was
very young, with my brother
(2013 graduate Morgan, who
held the school record for
wins prior to Griffin). I took
to it naturally, I just wanted
to train for it throughout the
summer months.”
Griffin, son of Mark and
Sarah Parriott, moved into
the varsity lineup as a seventh grader and remained
there for six years. As an
eighth grader he qualified
for his first state tournament, placing second, and he

Senior is example
of positive attitude
“His attitude on life is unbelievable,” said Lonnie Seifert,
principal of New Prague High School, about senior Kyle Anderson. “I love his positive attitude on life especially with
what he’s been dealt.”
Anderson, son of Chadwick and Laura Anderson of New
Prague, was in a car accident when he was age 2 that left him
paralyzed from the mid-chest down. Over the years he’s had
surgeries and has dealt with being in a wheelchair when other
children were learning to walk.
“I don’t really remember walking so I don’t miss it,” he
said. “I believe if you can’t remember something you never had you can’t miss it. It’s helped me push through life.
Pun intended,” he adds the last with a grin. He explains that
having a sense of humor about his situation, “It helps break
barriers. It starts a conversation and gets it out of the way,
right away.”
What he’s liked about New Prague is that after he had surgeries or physical therapy three to four times a week, the staff
and his teachers would help him out with classes and work.
Like any of his classmates he enjoys being able to hang out
with friends at school. “It’s been fun to see how he’s grown in
all areas,” said Seifert.
After high school, Anderson has plans to attend Southwest
Minnesota State University in Marshall. He’ll major in communications. After that, he said, “I’m not quite sure yet, but
it will be something in radio or music production.” Anderson
has done a little music production on his own. “I just really
like the passion of music. It’s a good way to express yourself,”
he said. He added about his choice for college, “They’re very
wheel chair accessible, friendly and not too big.”

Spring play showcased seniors’ talents
This year’s spring play at
New Prague High School
featured the talents of a large
group of senior students who
have taken part in many productions during their years
at New Prague High School.
This year’s spring proudciton
was actually a set of plays
chosen to showcase as many
of the senior students as possible.
Whether it was in front of
the curtain as a member of
the cast or behind it with the
crew, they helped to bring
the fall musical, one-act or
spring play to life. As they
prepared for the spring play,
a few shared their thoughts
about their last high school
production.
“I believe that being in this
play is a lovely way of sending off the great talent that
we have had over the past
few years, whilst accepting
the new actors that will be
coming into the school,” said
senior TJ Heid.
He has enjoyed working
with director Ben Thietje and
everyone else in all of the
school productions, which is
his eighth. “I will miss everyone as I move on to new
ventures within my education and theatre,” said Heid.
“I couldn’t begin to tell about
who I have become as an
actor in both the theater and
outside life. It has been one
of the greatest experiences
for me, as I develop into an
adult and a graduate. It will
be one of my greatest memories from this section of my
life.”
“This is my 22nd show I’ve
been in since sixth grade, the
18th of which have been under the direction of Ben Thietje,” said senior Zac Carney.
“I have had an absolute blast
Many New Prague area
residents are familiar with
The Young Americans program, which teaches students
about the various the arts and
encourages them to participate in them, from performing to drawing and designing.
The California based Young
Americans College of the
Performing Arts draws from
high school graduates across
the country, allowing them
a chance to travel and bring
that message to communities. This year The Young
Americans offered seven
students from New Prague
High School the chance to
join with four of them accepting. They are Jacob Hurt,
Charlie Murphy, Jacqueline
Sleavin-Pickens and Alexis
Solheid.
The four join other New
Prague natives who have
toured with The Young
Americans. Tours are not
only across the US, but take
place in other countries from
Europe to Asia. Founded 50
years ago, The Young Americans’ purpose has remained
the same. It is dedicated to
the promotion of understanding and goodwill among
people throughout the world
through music, dance, performance, academic education and cultural interaction
among student members and
their audiences.
“I am ecstatic to be given
the opportunity to learn more
about myself as a performer
and to experience cultures
from around the world while
giving people of all ages the
chance to experience the
wonderful things found within music and performing,”
said Sleavin-Pickens about
derful experience and I have
gotten to meet so many
awesome people that have
influenced my life in many
ways,” said Joshua Schoeneman, who has been working behind the scenes. “I
have been helping build sets
for the plays since freshman
year. I also have been a student stage manager to make
sure the performances would
run as smooth as possible and
it has been a blast to do so.
Overall, since freshman year,
I could not wish for a better
group of people to meet. After the school year is over I
am going to for sure miss the
people that made me become
the person I am today.”
“We’re ending on a really
fun one. It’s a great way to
show all the amazing talent
we’ve got in the senior class,”
said Matt Schoenbauer.
“I think this last show has
been really different but also
super exciting! We all get to
be a large part of one of the
smaller shows, which is great
for all the seniors,” said Alex
Wagner. “Theatre has definitely been my favorite part
of high school. I’m so glad I
got to be a part of the shows
I did, and I’ll miss it so much
next year.”
“This is my 12th and final
show at NPHS,” said Julia
Bartusek. “It’s been bittersweet having our last practices and realizing our time
on the stage is coming to
the end. I will never forget
the amazing memories and
friends I’ve gained through
NPHS theatre. I am so grateful for the past four years.”
“This is my first Spring
Play, but my fifth show. I
am very glad that I get to
be around all my talented
friends for our last show to-
gether,” said Michael Knoer.
“It has been tons of fun seeing everyone’s different characters in this year’s play and
I can’t wait to see it all put
together. I know for sure that
I’m gonna miss these guys
next year!”
“If anyone asks what
I’ll miss most about high
school, it’s theatre,” said Sara
Schoenbauer. “I’ve met some
of my best friends through
theatre and I’m not ready to
let that go. I’m glad I had one
last chance to make some
happy memories before it all
comes to an end.”
“This play is a lot of fun to
work on. I have played a lot
of roles throughout my years
at the high school and many
of them are serious, but this
play is more light and funny,” said Charlie Murphy.
“It’s a bit crazy, but it’s a very
fun show to finish out high
school theatre with. My best
high school memories have
been on the stage.”
“I’ve had such a blast
working with everyone here,
I still can’t believe it’s my
last show! While I’m sad to
see one door closing, I’m excited for the thousands more
that will open for us in the
future,” said Bri Meyer.
didn't believe it was true. I
am so humbled and grateful
that I have been offered a
spot in this program.”
The four will be leaving
New Prague and will travel
to California where they will
learn more about the program.
“To be completely honest,
it is almost equally as terrifying as it is exciting to be
moving nearly 2,000 miles
away from home to begin this
new journey,” said Solheid.
“However, I am beyond excited to spend every day doing what I love alongside of
amazing people, and I cannot
wait to go on tour and inspire
others through music in the
same way The Young Americans have inspired me.”
Sleavin-Pickens and Solheid were amazed at the
number of students from
New Prague who were offered the chance to join The
Young Americans. Especially since it only accepts 150
students each year for their
program. They said that it
shows well for the area and
its strong support of the arts.
The program will help
the future plans for the two
young women. Sleavin-Pickens plans to become a professional performer. She wants
to write, produce and perform her own music. “This
will give me the opportunity to travel and experience
new things as well as giving
me the time and experiences
to write music of my own,”
she said. “I will also learn
priceless skills as a performer while I am traveling which
will help me to further my future career.”
Solheid’s plans are to finish
her bachelor's degree in Political Science with an emphasis on International Relations
and a minor in either theater
or vocal performance. “My
time at The Young Americans will help me to complete
many of the credits needed
for both my intended major
and minor,” she said. “It will
also provide me with valuable global travel and cultural
experiences that I will be able
to take with me into my future career.”

being able to partake in all of
the shows. Theatre has become a large part of my life
and I can’t imagine my life
without it now,” said Carney.
Being able to work with all
his classmates has made all
the productions that much
more memorable.
“This
may be my last show in high
school, but it will not end my
career in theatre,” said Carney.

“I still can't put into words
the excitement I felt when I
found out I was accepted to
The Young Americans,” said
Solheid. “They send out their
admissions decisions in the
form of a video, and I remember watching it probably
ten times in a row because I
