The Kewaskum cross country team had three meets in just eight days! This team showed motivation and determination with each race, even though there are injuries on the team. We’d like to highlight two of the meets: the Dave Drexler Home Meet at Hon-E-Kor Golf Course and traveling to Waverly, Iowa, at the MAX course.
Dave Drexler Invitational
What an incredible race for our Boys Cross Country team! They gave it their all and finished second place! Placing in the top 20, led by fourth- place Wyatt Luedtke with a personal record of 17:20, 14th-place Zachary Hein at 18:08, 15th-place Sullivan Marquardt with his personal best of 18:14, and 20th-place Tony Pasbrig with his personal best of 18:38.
The JV girls took first place, led by Lilly Furman and Aria Schneider, both placing in the top 10.
The Varsity girls team took third place, with lead runners placing in the top 20: Olivia Gerhartz in ninth with a 20:26 time, Evalyn Dourn in 11th with a personal record of 20:29, & Taylor Kulick in 15th 20:52.
Several Kewaskum athletes successfully earned their personal records... Evalyn Dourn, Olivia Dourn, Sydney Bayer, Lilly Furman, Aria Schneider, Kendal Schnabel, Brenna Gissal, Wyatt Luedtke, Sullivan Marquardt, Tony Pasbrig, Alec Nagel, Sullivan Anderson, Evan Daley, & Kyle Trapp.
Steve Johnson Invitational
Our cross country teams were given the opportunity to travel out of state and compete at a meet, providing them with a valuable experience beyond their usual competition schedule. This opportunity allowed our athletes to experience competing in a new environment, travel together as a team, and build lasting memories while representing our school.
Varsity Girls- In the words of Assistant Coach Scott Bicknell, “Having five runners break the 21:30 mark is a huge accomplishment and a great sign of what’s ahead.” While Gracelyn Beimborn, Olivia Gerhartz, Taylor Kulick, Evalyn Dourn, and Maya Weissenrieder continue to give this kind of depth and consistency, they can really set the team up for continued success and give them strong momentum heading into future meets.
Varsity Boys- Every practice, every race, and every extra mile shows the effort you’re putting in. Be proud of what you’ve accomplished and the way you represent your team. The lead runners all under 19 minutes were Wyatt Luedtke, Leo Kohlwey, Zachary Hein, & Layton Dexter.
The Kewaskum Cross Country Team will have their next meet in Campbellsport on Thursday 10/8.
