The Whippet Track and Field Team hosted a WIAA Division II Sectional on Thursday night, June 17, advancing two relays and two individuals to the WIAA State Meet in La Crosse.
Heading to La Crosse for the girls are the 4×100 and 4×200 M Relays. Kacie Carollo, Amanda Tovar, Madelynn Buehler, and Kindyl Kilar finished second in the 4×100 and third in the 4×200 to advance into the state competition. Alternates for the relays are Olive Coburn and Emma Weigel.
Trenten Zahn raced his way to a victory with a thrilling finish in the 800 M Run. Sprinting down the final straightaway, Zahn caught Jefferson’s Sawyer Thorpe at the line and pulled out the win by 1/100th of a second.
Avery Caputo earned his way to State in the 100 and 400 Meter Wheelchair races.
The Whippets battled all night long with many having their best performances of the season. The Whippet Coaching staff is proud of all of the student athletes and the effort they put forth this year. We are particularly thankful, indebted, and proud of the leadership provided by our seniors who have had to navigate through a difficult year. In a word, they were outstanding and will be missed.
We would also like to thank everyone who helped us put on the WIAA Sectional Track and Field Meet, in particular Meet Manager Chad Carstens, AD Justin Crandall, Shannon Cushman, and Ronnie Kelly and his grounds crew, along with all of our meet workers who helped us once again put on a successful meet.

WHITEWATER– June 10, 2021 – The Discover Whitewater Series (DWS): Half Marathon & 5K is excited to once again host 600 participants in the Half Marathon and 5K. This is a 50% increase from last year’s modest event.
In coordination with the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, the Whitewater Unified School District, and the City of Whitewater, the DWS has created a safe and fun event for this upcoming September that closely resembles past DWS race days. There will once again be an awards ceremony commemorating the overall winners of the Half Marathon and 5K. Winners of the Half Marathon will also receive a purse prize, a trophy and a gift card to Performance Running Outfitters.
“It has always been our goal to bring this race back to the full, fun event it was two year ago,” said Race Director Dawson Miller. “We’re grateful to be able to bring back so many of our family events that come along with race weekend. We’re also bringing back a competitive, herded race start that allows for our runners to truly race against one another.”
This year, the W3 Fit Kid Shuffle will be back, which is a great way to get kids involved and active. This year’s W3 Fit Kid Shuffle will take place on Saturday, September 18—the day before the race. Parents and those with young children in their lives can come pick up their registration packets that Saturday and watch their little ones participate in this fun, athletic event.
Race day is set for Sunday, September 19, 2021 and registration is picking up fast.
“Increasing our number of participants allows us to involve so much more of the Whitewater community, which has always been one of our top priorities,” said Executive Director Jeff Knight. ”This event allows us to give back to Whitewater, get active, and raise money for our local charity partners, Bethel House, Whitewater LEADS, Working for Whitewater’s Wellness (W3), Whitewater Unified School District and the J-Hawk Aquatic Club. That’s what this event has been about these past nine years. We can’t wait to make this year even bigger and better than ever.”
The DWS will continue to allow more events back into race day weekend as it is deemed safe to do so.
The entire DWS team looks forward to another great year packed with family friendly fun. To receive a t-shirt, be sure to register by September 5, 2021. Register at https://runwhitewater.com.
About the DWS
The goal of the DWS is to promote the City of Whitewater and highlight its greatest features, while keeping everyone in the community active. All the proceeds from the race are donated to five local non-profit partners: Bethel House (which provides interim housing for homeless families), Whitewater LEADS, Working for Whitewater’s Wellness (W3), Whitewater Unified School District and the J-Hawk Aquatic Club. The DWS partners with the city, business community, university and the school district to make this a tremendous event that benefits all who participate.
