Squaring up against both conference and non-conference opponents, the Whippets performed well in the unseasonably warm temperatures. At the Clinton Relays, all events on the track were relay events, and all field events involved adding the distances and heights of three athletes’ throws and jumps to determine the winner. Overall, Whitewater’s teams held their own, placing 4th in both the boys’ and girls’ team competitions.
The following athletes and relay teams earned medals by placing in the Top-3 of their relay events:
Boys’ Distance Medley Relay: Nate Holden, Curtis Rossmiller, Miles Nickelsburg, Jack Hefty (1st)
Boys’ Discus Relay: Jake Kuhlow, Connor Raupp, Cole Schlicher (1st)
Boys’ Shot-Put Relay: Jake Kuhlow, Connor Raupp, Sam Radaj (2nd)

Girls’ Discus Relay: Izzy Dieter, Grace Foucault, Skylar Staebler (2nd)

Individually, Jake Kuhlow and Izzy Dieter had stellar performances, as their discus throws added both their names to the All-Time Top 10 list. Jake’s throw of 149’-11” is the 10th furthest throw by a WHS athlete, and Izzy’s toss of 117’-10” moved her into the #4 spot on Whitewater’s Top 10 list. Congratulations!
The Whippets are back in action this week at Brodhead on Tuesday, and at Oregon on Friday for the Oregon Panther Relays.
