Kindyl Kilar and Emme Bullis led the team in hitting, each with 16 kills. Three players, Emme Bullis, Cora Linos, and Kindyl Kilar, had double-digit digs defensively, with 12, 11, and 10 respectively.

Play for Trey is an annual event for the volleyball team, asking spectators to donate to Treyton’s Field of Dreams, built in honor of Treyton Kilar, a young baseball fan who perished in a drunk driving accident following a Whippet volleyball game in 2010.

A lengthy article about “The Gut” on nfl.com starts with this statement, “Facing an uphill battle to the NFL with a cancelled college season, an incomplete D-III resume and a ballooning belly, Quinn Meinerz was at a crossroads. Then fate, hard work and a little luck intervened.”

Kevin Bullis is quoted as saying, “”I’ve coached 33 years now and been around a lot of motivated human beings,” said Bullis, the Whitewater head coach. “He might be the most intrinsically motivated person I’ve ever known.”

Though the article’s byline says March 9, 2019, that’s obviously a typo — it should be 2021. Check it out here.

The Southern Lakes Conference awards were awarded to one gymnast this year. This is a very high honor for the Whitewater High School Gymnasts. Jenna Caldwell was the recipient who earned Honorable Mention this season.

Thank you to the parents for supporting the girls and all the other amazing things you have done throughout the season. Thank you to Mr. Mischka for coming to the gymnastics meet and taking pictures of the girls.

Although it was a very unconventional season due to COVID-19, it was still amazing, and I couldn’t ask for a better group of girls. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication. Go, Whippets!
