The OHS Super Mileage Team traveled to Warrensburg, at UCM, on Tuesday April 14, 2015 to compete in the 10th annual Super Mileage Challenge.  This is the 8th season the team has competed. This year the team fielded two cars. The first car was driven by Erica Fieth and the second driven by Luke Drenon. Erica's car averaged 157.9 miles per gallon and Luke's car averaged 77 miles per gallon. The team worked diligently this year tuning and prepping their cars for the competition. Their hard word and effort paid off and earned them the "Pit Award" for not giving up during the day while the cars were not running due to mechanical problems.

The team work enthusiastically all day to overcome all obstacles/problems and when the time came, the cars ran really well enabling the car driven by Erica to capture 2nd place for the second consecutive year. Jason Rathert, head sponsor, stated; "I am really proud of the kids and their hard work this year and am looking forward to next year."  The team would like to thank all of their sponsors. They could not have done it with out you.
