Following the season
Equipment, uniforms and travel beyond the school budget come through the K-W Athletic Booster Club.
The Knights left the Hiawatha Valley League for the Gopher Conference in 2021–22. “Size-wise we’ve been going down with our student population,” the activities director at the time, Randy Hockinson, told the Kenyon Leader when the move was announced. The school’s MSHSL classification enrollment is 204 and its administrative region is 1A.

Where it stands
Track runs as a cooperative with Goodhue — KW-G — and it sends athletes to state. Mali Quam placed 11th in the 100 hurdles and 10th in the 300 hurdles; Noel Hernandez was 12th in the 100 meters; and the 4x800 relay of Audrey Haugen, Jorja Wagner, Ayva Marklevits and Mari O'Connor finished second at state and set a school record.
