Over Mother’s Day weekend teams from Whitewater’s local soccer club – Whitewater United FC – attended a soccer tournament in Janesville. It was a great weekend for soccer and Whitewater United FC took full advantage of the beautiful weather. Five of the teams attended the tournament. U10 Co-Ed, U12 Co-Ed, U12 Select Boys, U15 Select Boys, and U15 Select Girls. The U10 co-ed finished in fourth place overall in their age group. The U12 co-ed team finished fifth place in their respective age group. The U12 Select boys finished second place among a tough bracket of teams. The U15 Select boys finished in a respectable third place among some of the best clubs in the southern part of the state. U15 Select girls finished in second place after a weekend of tough games. Overall, there was outstanding effort from our players and support from our coaches and families. Thank you from Whitewater United FC Board!

Juniors Maddie Buehler and Kindyl Kilar raced their way into Whippet Track and Field program history this past weekend at the RVC Meet hosted at Turner High School.
Maddie ran a sensational 100m dash final to place second behind last year’s state runner up in that event. Her time of 12.71 catapulted her to the 6th fastest time ever run by a Lady Whippet!
Kindyl has shown great promise in the 400 through relay splits and was entered in the 400 open for the first time in an attempt to potentially upset the favorite from East Troy. After running prelims and a final in the 100 (where she placed fourth in 12.86), she came back to compete against the fresh East Troy runner. In a thrilling race, Kindyl took her to the wire and was ultimately beat by .02 seconds. In her first ever open 400, Kindyl raced her way to the fifth fastest 400 time in program history with a time of 1:00.72.
Congratulations to these ladies on their terrific performance this past weekend! Pictured are Maddie Buehler (L) and Kindyl Kilar (R) with their brand new Top Ten shirts.
