Four members of Mid-Plains Community College’s employee wellness program participated in the Trek Up the Tower: Presented by The Wellbeing Partners in Omaha on Saturday. They ran up the First National Bank Tower, a 634-foot, 45-story skyscraper in support of the Wellbeing Partners’ mission to build wellbeing into the way communities grow and do business.
Pictured left to right are MPCC employees: Amy Sabatka, area career placement coordinator; Erika Kampschnieder, area financial aid specialist; Bobbi Muehlenkamp, area director of Learning Commons and Jessica Sylte, Project HELP success coach.
Kampschnieder placed 121st out of 1,208 competitors with a time of 7 minutes 56 seconds. In the women’s division, she was 19th out of 673, and in her age division, she was fourth out of 86.
The team trained at the Golden Spike Tower in North Platte leading up to the Trek. It was the first Trek for Kampschnieder, Sylte and Sabatka and the second for Muehlenkamp.
