What a beautiful night for track and field! The Whippets battled Elkhorn, Delavan-Darien, Lake Geneva Badger, Mukwonago, and Big Foot on Tuesday, June 1.
We had a chance to get in a nice tune-up meet before the conference championship next Wednesday at Big Foot. We had some really nice performances all the way around as our times continue to get faster, and field events continue to improve.
The boys’ 4X400 made up of Trenten Zahn, Ignacio Cuevas, Cooper Hammond, and Denver Isbell had a season best time of 3:40.
Crystal Chan eclipsed the 5′ barrier in the high jump.
The girls’ 4X100 and 4X200 again ran season bests of 51.63 and 1:50.44. Those teams consisted of Kacie Carollo, Kindyl Kilar, Madelyn Buehler, and Amanda Tovar.
Our throwers keep improving each week which is nice to see.
Now we’ve got about a week to prepare for the RVC Championship. It will be a fun battle as the conference is putting out a lot of really good performances.

The girls’ 4X200 had a season best of 1:50.4, winning the event. They came back to take the 4X100 as well. Those two teams included Kindyl Kilar, Kacie Carollo, Madelynn Buehler, and Amanda Tovar.
All of our throwers, Connor Raupp, Grace Foucault, Scottie Krebs, and Skylar Staebler, had personal bests as well, and it was nice to be able to see Dylan Duclos back in the pole vault for the first time this year after battling back from an injury.
Trenten Zahn ran an outstanding race in the 800, finishing second, and Cooper Hammond ran his first ever 3200 and did a great job.
Our sprinters continue to get faster and faster as we head toward the championship portion of the season.
Tuesday night we travel to Elkhorn for a meet with Lake Geneva, Delavan, Big Foot, Mukwonago, and Elkhorn.

The No. 5 ranked University of Wisconsin-Whitewater baseball team fell just short Monday in its quest for a bid to the NCAA Division III World Series in an 8-7 defeat against 10th-ranked Adrian (Mich.) in the championship game of the NCAA Whitewater Regional at Prucha Field at James B. Miller Stadium.
The Warhawks conclude the 2021 season with a 40-7 record after sharing the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference regular season championship with a 24-4 league record, claiming the conference tournament title and finishing as regional runner-up. UW-W posted a 3-2 mark at the regional tournament, including wins over fifth-seeded Luther, fourth-seeded Penn State Harrisburg and third-seeded Texas Lutheran, and made its 13th consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance.
UW-Whitewater, the No. 2 seed in the regional tournament and the visiting team in Monday’s championship game, held a 7-4 lead with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning before the top-seeded Bulldogs (36-8) rallied to tie the game at 7-7 to send the game into extra innings.
After the Warhawks stranded a runner at second base in the top of the 10th, Adrian won the game on a leadoff home run in the bottom half of the frame.
Pitcher Matt O’Sullivan tossed 8 2/3 innings, striking out 10 for his sixth double-digit strikeout performance of the season. His 125 strikeouts for the year are the second-most in one season in school history. Westin Muir and Ben Muscatello each threw in relief, with Muscatello (1-2) taking the loss.
Left fielder Matt Korman led the offense with three hits, including a solo homer and a two-run double, and finished with four runs batted in. His 22 doubles in 2021 are tied for the second-most in one season in the program record book, and his 68 RBIs are tied for the third-most.
Catcher Ryan Norton hit a two-run homer to start the scoring in the top of the second inning. First baseman Donovan Brandl plated UW-Whitewater’s other run with a groundout in the top of the ninth.
Second baseman Sam Vomhof and shortstop Nick Santoro each reached base twice, Vomhof on a hit and a walk, and Santoro on two walks.
