BILLINGS, Mont. – Grace Curnow made an immediate impact to Billings West athletics the moment she stepped foot on campus for her freshman year, leaving a significant mark on the Golden Bear soccer team. Her hard work and dedication have not gone unnoticed, leading to her favorite high school memory.

“I would have to say my favorite memory is winning state freshman year. We went undefeated that year and it was so fun and exciting to be a part of that at such a young age and just to contribute is something I’ll never forget,” Curnow said.

Curnow’s soccer achievements include earning all-state defensive honors for three consecutive seasons and being named Defensive MVP in her junior and senior years. Her impressive performances caught the attention of Rocky Mountain College, a place she is familiar with and excited to join.

“I’ve always been about Rocky,” she said. “My club coaches are the coaches at Rocky, I love being coached by them and Rocky is such a good school with their soccer program growing. They also have great educational programs so I’m really excited to continue my education and play soccer there. My parents have been one of my biggest motivators my entire life and high school career so I’m very excited that they get to come and watch me so I’m glad I’m staying close to home because they’ll always be there.”

In addition to soccer, Curnow decided to reconnect with basketball, a sport she grew up playing. As one of two seniors on a youthful team, she found her experience rejuvenating.

“I did feel young, I didn’t feel like a senior. Everyone there made the experience so much fun. Obviously I got recognized as a senior and getting to be a leader on the court but it was so fun. The team, the atmosphere, I’m glad I was able to be a part of it for one final season,” she stated.

Curnow also participated in track during her final high school year, contributing to Billings West’s second-place finish in the 4×100 meter relay.

The Midland Roundtable Athlete of the Year Banquet will be held May 12th 7p.m. at the Billings Hotel and Convention Center.

LEONIA, N.J. — The No. 4-ranked Cornell men’s lightweight rowing team swept all three races against No. 7-ranked MIT and No. 10-ranked Columbia on Overpeck Creek inside Overpeck County Park on Saturday morning.

Cornell’s 3V8+ opened the day with a 10.6-second victory over Columbia’s 3V8+ with a time of 5:53.4. The Big Red’s 4V8+ also competed, finishing in third in 6:06.5.

The Big Red’s 2V8+ crew logged the closest margin of victory on the day, edging Columbia by 3.6 seconds after clocking a 5:46.5 piece. MIT finished in third with a 6:15.1 time.

Posting a 7.5-second victory over MIT in the Geiger Cup race, Cornell clocked the fastest time of any crew on the day (5:34.3). MIT was second with its 5:41.7 time and Columbia placed third (5:45.0).

Cornell has won consecutive Geiger Cup races for the first time since 2019 and 2022, and is the first instance it won in successive years since 2014 and 2015. The Big Red’s success on Columbia’s waters were further solidified on Saturday, as the Big Red has now won the Geiger Cup in each of the last seven runnings (2008, 2011, 2014, 2017, 2022, 2024, and 2025).

Saturday’s racing featured MIT for the first time since 2018, as the Engineers had its best placing in the cup race since also finishing in second place in 1993 in Ithaca.
