Lack of outdoor
practices leave
lineup spots up for
grabs for Huskies

ing place.
First-year head coach
Mike Wierson said there
are plenty of spots up for
grabs and a lack of outdoor
practices has delayed the
process of finding a regular
lineup.
Its going to be one of
those things where the first
couple games there will
be a lot of guys getting a
chance to earn it, he said.
Every time you get your
chance, you better earn it.
The Huskies are sched-
uled to open their season
next Tuesday at Mt. Lake
and then play at Adrian
next Thursday and at New
Ulm next Friday.
Its unlikely well get
outside much before the
first game, Wierson said.
While stuck indoors
like just about every other
team in the area Wierson
and his coaching staff have
been stressing the basics.
The biggest thing is
fundamentals, he said.
Footwork, trying to build
our arm strength, things
like that.
While the groundwork
is being laid, Wierson says
being indoors does hinder
the development of a team
that has a lot of holes to fill
from last years eight-win
team.
It makes it hard to know
where guys should be, he
said. You cant see live
grounders.
Th e Hu s k i e s a r e
strapped with the chal-
lenge of replacing four of
their biggest bats from
last season, plus almost all
of their pitchers. Among
those who graduated are
Tanner Menke, Taylor
Christopher, Kyle Luh-
mann and Zach Copley,
who led the JCC offense
last season. Last years
seniors pitched all but 10
innings last season
Between Copley, Chris-
topher, Luhmann, (Josh)
Thaemlitz and Menke, we
lost pretty much all our in-
nings, Wierson said.
Seniors Jordan Biehn
and Jeremiah Flatgard
pitched last season and
will do so again, as well
as juniors Nick Arp, Scott
Christopher and Freeman
Scott.
Jordan and Jeremiah
will be the two that threw
the most last year, Wier-
son said. Otherwise itll be
juniors who have thrown
in B squad, but havent
thrown in varsity.
Doing the catching for
the Huskies will be senior
Mitchel Macek, who had a
.298 on-base-percentage
last season. Also playing
catcher will be junior Jar-
ed Bakalyar.
Seniors Flatgard and
Zach Paulson are first
basemen, as are juniors
Brody Anderson and Pat-
rick Tate. Other infield-
ers for the Huskies are
seniors Josh Christoffer,
Macek, Peter Nasby and
Shadrach Wacker and ju-
niors Bakalyar, Christo-
pher, Andrew Hesse and
Scott.
Playing in the outfield
will be Biehn, Christoffer,
Flatgard, Nasby, Paulson,
Anderson, Arp, Hesse, Tate
and juniors Ryan Timko,
Zach Holm and Marek
Bingel.
Nasby led JCC returners
with a .400 batting average
last season and Biehn is
the returner with the most
runs batted in, plating 13
teammates while hitting

Despite no outdoor prac-
tices and its first game
coming up next week,
Jackson County Central
head coach Shelly Hotzler
is confident about where
Huskies take aim at powerful Pipestone
JCC softball team
hoping to knock
Arrows from atop
SWC standings
her softball team stands.
The Huski es scri m-
maged at Rochester last
week, and the veteran
coach was pleased with
what she saw.
Offensively we were
good this weekend, Hot-
zler said. We hit the ball
well.
The Huskies graduated
six key players from last
seasons team that finished
second in the Southwest
Conference, but bring back
plenty of talent.
One returner is senior
Brittany Woodke, who led
JCC with a .418 batting
average last season. She
drove in 16 runs, scored
22 and had a team high 18
walks.
Woodke one of just
three seniors on this years
squad will play third
base for JCC this spring.
Junior Mo Carlson hit
.340 a year ago with three
doubles and a homer. She
drove in nine runs and will
be counted on for big num-
bers this season at the plate
and in the circle.
Carlson pitched 53 in-
nings last season with an
earned-run average of 4.49.
When shes not pitching
this season, Carlson will
play catcher.
Junior Blaney Markman
returns after hitting .286
a year ago. Used in the
outfield last season, Mark-
man will play shortstop for
JCC this spring. She will
also see time in the circle,
where she pitched five in-
nings a year ago.
Senior Jordian Tirevold
also hit .286 last season
and returns to play the out-
field for JCC. Senior Jayde
Price is back at second
base this season after bat-
ting .267 a year ago.
Juniors Bailey Schneek-
loth, Megan Edlin, Kathryn
Nasby and Rachel Johnson
all saw some action last
season and will have in-
creased roles this spring.
Schneekloth will be a
utility player for the Hus-
kies, Edlin and Nasby are
outfielders and Johnson
will play catcher and first
base.
Junior Hannah Holm-
berg will play in the infield,
junior Tearza Brewer is an
outfielder, sophomore Syd-
ney Nyborg will play first
base and freshman Jayni
Anderson is a catcher.
The Huskies also have
high hopes for eighth-grad-
er Kelsey Kannenberg,
who is new to the team this
season.
Kannenberg will pitch
and play first base and the
youngster shows prom-
ise at the plate and in the
circle.
Hotzler said the Huskies

JCC SOFTBALL: Huskies return a lot of talent
Continued from C1
have been working hard on
their defense so far despite
being stuck inside.
Defensively we might
have lost some key players,
but I think we have enough
people filling in that we
should be all right, Hot-
zler said.
Hotzler listed Pipestone
as the team to beat again
in the Southwest Confer-
ence. Last year, the Arrows
handed JCC its only two
conference losses.
This year, the Huskies
should be able to again
compete with Pipestone
Just play solid defense,
Hotzler said of the key to
hanging with the Arrows.
Pipestone and New Ulm
will again be tough in the
section, Hotzler said.
The Huskies are sched-
uled to open the season
next Monday at home
against Mt. Lake Area and
have a tough stretch in
early May against the two
section powers.
JCC hosts Pipestone
Area in a doubleheader
May 1 and then hosts New
Ulm May 5.
The Huskies host a tour-
nament May 10 and begin
section tournament action
May 20.
Hotzler is assisted at
the varsity level by Cory
Pauling. Erica Colby is the
B squad coach and Kassie
Ambrose and Mallory Ru-
dolph are middle school
coaches.
For 12 straight years,
Jackson County Central
has had at least one team or
individual play at the state
golf tournament.
Last year it was Abby
Brinkman who kept the
streak alive.
This year, head coach
Keith Eggink hopes JCC
is represented even more
at state.
The Huskies return just
about everybody on both
the boys and girls teams,
leaving JCC with a pretty
high confidence level as
the season gets under way.
Girls aiming for state
The JCC girls have near-
ly the same team that went
7-2 a year ago back again
this season.
Gone is Shelby Benson,
but back in the lineup is
freshman Abby Benson,
who missed all of last sea-

for JCC golfers

son with a back injury.
Its just about the same
bunch as last year, Eggink
said. We just traded Abby
for Shelby.
Eggi nk sai d despi te
Abby Benson missing a
whole season, shes an ex-
perienced golfer.
Shes played a lot of
golf, he said. Shes got ex-
perience playing in meets.
Shes one that at times
can get into the low 40s.
But shes not the only one
capable of shooting low
scores.
We could have six girls
that could get into the 40s,
Eggink said. Youre going
to win a lot of meets with
four scores in the 40s.
Brinkman, just a sopho-
more, leads the Huskies
after posting a team-best
44.9 average for nine holes
a year ago. After finishing
sixth at the Southwest Con-
ference meet, Brinkman
was sixth at sub-sections,
tied for fourth at sections
and finished 31
st
at state.
Junior Alison Benson
got hot at the end of last
season, finishing fifth at
the conference meet and
fourth at sub-sections to
qualify for the section
meet. Senior Emma Lille-
berg also qualified for the
section meet.
Senior Lexie Hoffman
and sophomore Emma-
lie Benson are back after
both averaged around 50
strokes per nine holes last
year and are joined by new-
comer eighth-grader Tiara
Menke.
Everybody at some
point last year was medal-
ist or tied for medalist,
Eggink said. They all have
that potential.
Seeing Brinkman ad-
vance to state a year ago
has the Huskies motivated.
I think theyd like to go
to state as a team, Eggink
said. They kind of saw
that atmosphere.
Eggink added winning
the conference to a list of
goals that includes sub-
section and section titles.
With the experience we
have and the depth, those
should be the goals, he
said.
Big things expected
from JCC boys
The JCC boys graduated
just two golfers who saw
varsity action last season
and bring back seven letter
winners.
Having a handful of guys
to pick from for the var-
sity roster, while at times
can present challenges, is
a good thing, Eggink said.
That s a big help,
he said. They cant just
say, Im a varsity golfer.
Theyve got to perform in
qualifying, got to perform
in meets or else somebody
will take their spot.
Junior Joe Brinkman
led JCC with a nine-hole
scoring average of 41.1 last
season and was medalist
four times. Brinkman and
senior Kyle Christopher
who was second on the
team with an average of
43.7 strokes both quali-
fied for the section meet
last spring.
Junior Jack Ringkob
and junior Zach Schwart-
ing were third and fourth,
respectively, in scoring
average last season and ju-
niors Kyle Kapplinger and
Austin Olson both played
quite a bit of varsity golf a
year ago.
That experience should
help all season, Eggink
said.
Especially when were
not playing at home,
he said. They know the
courses we play. Theyve
been through the battles.
Throw in seniors Chris
Baker and Andrew Holm-
berg and sophomores Matt
Ringkob and Caleb Kolan-
der and the Huskies have a
number of capable golfers.
Eggink said there are
several guys capable of
making a run at state.
We could have two or
three guys contend for a
spot, he said, but then list-
ed a group of names even
longer than that. Weve
got five guys that, on a
given day, could do well.
That balance has Eggink
thinking the Huskies can
finish near the top of the
conference.
Id like to finish second
in the Southwest Confer-
ence, he said. We wont
touch Marshall. Theyve
got four guys that can shoot
par or better.
After that, Eggink said a
sub-section title is the goal.
We shoul d wi n the
sub-section, he said.
Thats a goal of ours.
Sections a two-day tourney
This years section tour-
nament is two straight
days of 18 holes for team
and individual competi-
tion for the boys and girls,
a change from just 18 holes
in the past.
I think it levels the play-
ing field, Eggink said.
This years section meet
is in Buffalo Lake, where
JCC played its sub-section
meet a year ago. That gives
the Huskies an advantage,
Eggink said, because they
will be one of the few teams
to have played there.
Offseason work
Along with experienced
teams, the Huskies enter
the season with plenty of
offseason work. The teams
traditionally play sum-
mer events, but this year
added winter golf to their
schedule.
Team members orga-
nized a league on Sunday
nights using the golf simu-
lator at the Jackson Golf
Club.
Its getting your swings
in, Eggink said. Thats
huge. And the camaraderie
they established hanging
out with each other.
Eggink said the improve-
ments might not be noticed
until the Huskies actually
get on the course and can
hit balls for real.
Its going to be hard to
tell until we get outside and
see balls fly, he said.
Coaching with Eggink
this season is Mark Kocak,
who has plenty of experi-
ence as a golfer himself.
Mark will be a big
help, Eggink said. Hes
a good golfer; he knows
the game.

Jeremy Ringgenberg, Jon Harmening, Austin Bell-Pixler, Darnell Taylor-Breck, Nolan Hohenstein, Matt Schmit, Matthew Strom, Izaac Lucht,

Head coach Rafe York
has high hopes for the
Jackson County Central
track and field teams this
spring.
York said the boys could
be in the running for a true
team section champion-
ship, while the girls can
also fare well, especially if
some youngsters make big
contributions.
Both teams return plenty
of talent from quality sea-
sons a year ago.
The Huskies are sched-
uled to open their season
next Tuesday with a meet
in Luverne and are at Mt.
Lake two days later.
JCC hosts a quadrangu-
lar April 24. The Southwest
Conference meet is May 15
in Windom, with the sub-
section meet at the same
spot on May 22. The section
meet is May 29 in Redwood
Falls.
York is assisted by Jack
Walsh, Kerri Kocak, Brian
Cook and Greg Maday.
Boys are loaded
The JCC boys have a
loaded team, returning its
top 10 scorers from last
season and having depth at
just about every spot.
That gives York lofty ex-
pectations for the season.
Weve got high hopes
for the boys this year, he
said. I think we can make
a run at the true team sec-
tion.
York said Luverne will be
tough in that meet, which is
the one he always sets his
sights on because it is an
accurate measuring stick
of who has the best team.
Back to lead the Huskies
is senior Darnell Taylor-
Breck, who set the school
record in triple jump while
placing third at state last
season. Taylor-Breck was
the Southwest Conference
champion in the event and
finished second at the sub-
section and section meet in
triple jump.
Hes got a real shot
High hopes for JCC track and feld teams
Boys are stacked,
girls have plenty of
talent returning

to place even higher this
year, York said of Taylor-
Brecks chances at state.
Taylor-Breck also ex-
celled in long jump, sprints
and relays, helping him
score a team-high 186.5
points last season.
Sophomore Ryan Salz-
wedel scored 141.5 points
last season, senior Jon
Harmening scored 128.5,
junior Warren Darling
scored 120 and freshman
Matt Strom scored 108.
Rounding out the top 10
were seniors Izaac Lucht,
Matt Schmit, Austin Bell-
Pixler and Bradley Gus-
tafson.
Salzwedel is second in
JCC history in high jump,
clearing 5 feet, 11 inches
last season. He will com-
pete in that again this year,
as well as sprints and re-
lays.
Harmening was the sub-
section champion in the
110-meter high hurdles
and 300-meter hurdles
last season and also made
it to sections in the triple
jump. He will be joined in
hurdling events by senior
Jeremy Ringgenberg and
Schmit.
Hohenstein and Bell-Pix-
ler lead a talented group of
throwers that includes ju-
nior Brandon Schmit and
Matt Schmit.
Bell-Pixler won the sub-
section title in discus last
season and Hohenstein
was second in shot put and
discus in the meet.
Our throws are going
to be tough, York said.
Weve got four guys that
could place in both.
He also thinks two throw-
ers could have a chance at
making it to state.
Jon has a shot to make it
to state in triple jump and
300 hurdles, York said. If
things fall into place, Nolan
has a shot and maybe Bell-
Pixler in discus.
Joining Salzwedel and
Taylor-Breck in sprints
will be Darling, seniors
Lucht and Shadrach Wack-
er, juniors Demonte Thom-
as and Zach Holm and
exchange student Marek
Bingel.
Distance runners are
seniors Bradley Gustafson,
Eric Thomas, Jordan Cush-
man and Jordan Ringgen-
berg, junior Aaron Johnson
and freshman Wyatt Weier.
Middle distance runners
are Strom and junior Wyatt
Cleberg.
Pole vaulters are sopho-
more Curtis Pell and fresh-
men Ryder Lesch and
Teague Schultz and other
jumpers are Darling and
Demonte Thomas.
York said hes pleased
with just about every as-
pect of his boys team.
The sprints are really
deep and pretty good, he
said. Our jumps with Jon,
Darnell, Warren, Demonte
and Salzwedel. Our dis-
tance got better this year
because Cushman came
back out. Im really excited
about all the areas.
Girls return talent
There are plenty of rea-
sons York is optimistic
about the girls track and
field team.
The Huskies have eight
of their top 10 scorers back
from last season, including
nearly all of the members
of a successful 4x100-me-
ter relay team and some
talented distance runners.
Juniors Riley Schneek-
loth and Julia Schumann
and sophomore Maken-
na Donnelli were on the
4x1 team all last season,
with eighth-grader Abby
Schneekloth also running
in the relay. All four are
back this year.
Riley Schneekloth was
second on JCCs scor-
ing list last season and
Schumann was third. Both
excel in sprints, as does
Donnelli, who was fifth on
the scoring list.
Other sprinters this sea-
son for JCC will be Abby
Schneekloth and fresh-
men Mady Vancura, Kate-
lynn Dorschner and Kayla
OConnor.
Junior Sarah Brandt was
fourth on JCCs scoring
list last season and leads a
group of middle-distance
runners that also includes
junior Jayde Holthe, fresh-
man Annika Lilleberg (sev-
en on last years scoring
list) and seventh-graders
Ella Lilleberg and Hailey
Handevidt.
Senior Corri Vander-
Woude was sixth on JCCs
scoring chart a year ago
as a hurdler and made
it to sections in the 300-
and 100-meter hurdles.
This year she leads a hur-
dling group that includes
freshman Sophie John-
son, eighth-grader Brielle
Scheepstra and seventh-
graders Aleigha Hender-
son and Zoe Pohlman.
Scheepstra made it to the
section meet in pole vault
last season and returns to
the event this season.
Jumpers on this years
team are Vancura, John-
son, Pohlman, OConnor,
Dorschner, Henderson,
Ella Lilleberg and fresh-
man Alexis Kocak.
In her first year out last
season, senior Kenna Ban-
nister made it to the sec-
tion meet in shot put and
finished ninth on JCCs
scoring chart. This year,
she leads a squad of throw-
ers that also includes ju-
niors Holthe and Lauren
Buhr; sophomores Kiana
Nyborg and Maggie Post;
and freshmen Josie Horn
and Liberty Meyer.
Kenna is a heck of a shot
putter and shes excited to
get out there and do it,
York said.
Perhaps the best group,
York said, is his distance
runners.
Senior Sam Swift was
ninth on the scoring chart
last season and made it to
sections in the 3,200-meter
run. She returns, as do An-
nika Lilleberg who has
made it to sections in the
800-meter run the last two
seasons, senior Haley
Harnett, freshman Karli
Cavness and eighth-grad-
ers Emily Paplow, Jessica
Christoffer and Kia Holm.
I think our distance
crew might be our strength
thi s year, York sai d.
Their cross country sea-
son was really good and
weve got most of those
girls out.
York said for his team to
be successful, a few young-
sters are going to have to
play big roles.
Were a lot younger
than the guys are, he said.
The girls only have four
seniors. Some of the young
kids are going to have to
step up.
So far, that looks like it
can happen.
Im impressed with
our middle school crew so
far, he said. With girls,
youve got to rely on middle
schoolers. We have seven
or eight middle schoolers
that could run varsity this
year. Thats exciting be-
cause it pushes everyone
ahead of them.

Angie Rogotzke knows
one thing about her South-
western United softball
team: it will work hard.
After losing in the second
round of the playoffs last
season, the team wanted to
keep practicing.
That enthusiasm has
carried over to this spring
as the Wildcats have been
by DAN CONDON
Sports Editor
Hard-working Wildcats ready for breakout season
Nearly every
starting player
returns for SWU
practicing inside for the
season debut next week.
The group of girls is
willing to work hard and is
dedicated, Rogotzke said.
SWU scrimmaged three
teams last Friday in Roch-
ester, giving the Wildcats a
much-needed change from
their exclusively indoor
practices until that point.
Part of the reason the
Wildcats were stuck in-
doors was the weather, but
another reason is all the
work being done to SWUs
home field on Okabena.
The field is in the midst
of major changes, thanks
in large part to local dona-
tions.
The Wi l dcat s, who
played some games in Ok-
abena last season, debut at
their improved park April
10 against Adrian. That
comes after SWU opens the
season April 1 at Luverne
and then plays April 8 at
Murray County Central.
In early May, the Wild-
cats have a tough stretch at
home, starting with a game
against Madelia/Truman
and ending with games
against Red Rock Central
and Edgerton/Southwest
Minnesota Christian the
two teams expected to fin-
ish at or near the top of the
Red Rock Conference.
A tournament at Wa-
basso is slated for early in
the season and the section
tournament starts May 16.
Rogotzke hopes an ex-
perienced team can make
a deep run in the section
playoffs.
SWU has eight returning
letter winners, including
four players who earned
recognition from the con-
ference last year.
Sophomore Ida Rogers-
Ferguson and junior Ra-
chel Mathias were all-
conference players a year
ago and sophomore Me-
gan Haberman and fresh-
man Samantha Obermoller
were honorable-mention
picks.
Rogers-Ferguson was
named the teams most
valuable player last year
and Haberman was voted
the teams best defensive
player. Obermoller was
named the teams best of-
fensive player and Mathias
was most improved.
Rogers-Ferguson will
bring her heat back to the
pitching circle this season
and Rogotzke said when
shes not pitching, Rogers-
Ferguson can play just
about anywhere else on
the field.
Idas a leader, Rogotz-
ke said. She definitely
gets the girls going.
Haberman is back at
The Southwestern Unit-
ed baseball team won just
four games last spring, but
played pretty well down
the stretch.
Despite losing 11 seniors
and their head coach, the
Wildcats hope that momen-
tum carries over to the new
season.
Part of the reason for
optimism is a solid group
of pitchers returning to the
mound, led by senior Aaron
Fest, who earned all-Red
Rock Conference honors
last season.
Also back to the bump
is Trey Cranston, a junior
who earned honorable-
mention all-conference
honors last season as the
teams No. 2 pitcher. Back-
ing up those two are juniors
Dakotah Schmid and Isaac
Fest, who both saw action
on the mound last season.
Were going to have
pretty good depth at the
pitching position, first-
year head coach Ben
Scheevel said. Our pitch-
ers know what theyre do-
ing on the mound.
Along with the staff s
pi t chi ng experi ence,
Scheevel has experience on
the mound as well. He said
that time on the mound has
helped him work with this
years hurlers and he has
also gotten volunteer help
from Matt Prunty.
Catching the pitchers
will be junior Jake Getzel,
sophomore Angel Esqueda
or sophomore Marcelo
Esqueda.
Getzel will also play
third base, with Isaac Fest
playing shortstop. Oth-
er infielders are sopho-
mores Ryan DeWall, Brady
Haberman and Adam Hiet-
brink, as well as freshmen
David Volk, Logan Knutson
and Gage Droenen.
Playing in the outfield
will be, among others,
Schmid, sophomore Alex
Boumann and freshman
Wildcats hope momentum carries over to new season
SWU baseball team
played well to end
season last spring
by DAN CONDON
Sports Editor
Braden Sipe.
Scheevel said so far he
has stressed the basics
with his young team
Aaron Fest is the only se-
nior and hopes solid
baseball can overcome
what could be a slow offen-
sive season for the team.
Ive been preaching
fundamentals, Scheevel
said. If we can field the
ball, if we can throw the
ball, if we can hit the ball,
well be all right.
Hitting is Scheevels big-
gest concern so far, espe-
cially since the team has
had to practice indoors and
not face live pitching.
We might struggle on
offense, he said. We need
to find kids to step up and
drive in runs. We need kids
to step in that first game
and be ready and then
bring them up to speed as
quick as we can.
If that happens, Scheevel
expects the Wildcats to
improve on their four wins
from the 2013 campaign.
I began the season by
asking, Is winning four
games last year what you
call fun? Scheevel said. I
hope to at least be .500 this
year, if not better.
Scheevel said consisten-
cy is important, as well as
taking advantage of every
opportunity.
I want to be competitive
every game, he said. If
we can win some one-run
ballgames, well be fine.
Along with counting on
his veterans for produc-
tion, Scheevel hopes they
can lead the younger play-
ers.
Thats what were work-
ing toward, he said of im-
proving as the season goes
along. We want to develop
them a little bit. We have to
rely on the upper classmen
to bring the other guys up
to speed.
Joining Scheevel on the
coaching staff are Octavio
Jimenez (junior varsity)
and Lon Eichenberger (ju-
nior high).
The Wildcats are sched-
uled to open their season
next Tuesday at Worthing-
ton and are at Minneota on
April 7. The home opener
in Heron Lake is scheduled
for April 8 against Murray
County Central.
Scheevel said Adrian,
Red Rock Central/West-
brook-Walnut Grove, Mt.
Lake Area and MCC will
be tough in the Red Rock
Conference. Home games
against those teams are
scheduled for April 9
(MCC), April 15 (RRC/
WWG), May 1 (Adrian) and
May 13 (MLA).

The goals for this years
Southwestern United girls
and boys track and field
teams are considerably
different.
For a girls team that
has plenty of talented dis-
tance runners, the goals
are pretty lofty for postsea-
son success.
For the boys, the goal is
to keep drumming up inter-
est with just five Wildcats
on the roster.
Co-head coaches Gary
Hildebrandt and Lucas
Kaplan have had their
troops working the last few
weeks for a season that was
scheduled to kick off last
Thursday with an indoor
meet at Minnesota State
University, Mankato.
Girls aiming for more
medals at section meet
SWU had a good show-
ing last season at the sub-
section meet, sending two
individuals and two relay
teams to the section meet.
This year, Hildebrandt
hopes for even better re-
sults.
Eighth-graders Rachel
Salentiny and MaKayla
Edwards both ran distance
races at the section meet
last season and both were
on the 4x800-meter relay
team that qualified for
sections.
Salentiny was the sub-
section champion in the
3,200-meter run and Ed-
wards was third in the
1,600.
The two will be counted
on to lead a deep group of
distance runners again this
season.
Last year they had a
good spring and then this
cross country season they
did great, Hildebrandt
said of his distance run-
ners. Their confidence
level is huge right now.
Were trying to reign them
in and make sure theyre
Goals difer for Wildcat track and feld teams

ready to let it go when the
time comes.
Other distance runners
for the Wildcats are eighth-
graders Brianna Preston,
Cheyenne Schaffer, Taylor
Johanning and Vanessa
Juarez. Preston was on the
4x8 team at sections last
season.
Running sprints will be
freshmen Bailey Collin,
Brittany Peterson, Jessica
Reyes, Kaylan Untiedt and
eighth-graders Schaffer
and Danielle Ambrose.
Hurdlers are Collin, Un-
tiedt and Johanning and
throwers are Collin, Am-
brose, freshmen Taryn
Crocker and Cassie Kram-
er and eighth-grader Ash-
ley Wagner.
Doing jumping events
will be Peterson, Schaf-
fer, Reyes, Untiedt, Ed-
wards and Salentiny. Hil-
debrandt said exchange
student Hanna Martensen
and junior Sarah Schmid
will compete in just about
everything.
The Wildcats have no
seniors, just two juniors
and no sophomores on their
roster. But Hildebrandt
said the team is fairly expe-
rienced already, with most
of the girls having a year
or two of track under their
belt, whether at the junior
high or varsity level.
Despite decent numbers,
Hildebrandt said team suc-
cess could still be hard to
come by for the Wildcats.
We still dont have the
depth where we can com-
pete team-wise, he said.
Individually, however, he
expects some good things.
We hope to get more
girls to the section meet in
more events, he said. If
we can do that, maybe we
can place a few. We want
to get a few more medals
and see what happens with
that.
Goal is to have fun
With just five members
on the SWU boys team,
Hildebrandt said the goal
is to have fun and hope-
fully round up a few new
teammates.
Were just trying to get
them to enjoy track and
field, he said. If they
enjoy track and field and
spread the love, maybe we
can get more kids out as the
season goes on or maybe
next year.
The Wildcats have fresh-
man Logan Knutson and
eighth-grader Tyler Brunk
to run distance races, with
Knutson splitting his time
between track and field
and baseball. Brunk will
also compete in jumping
events.
Freshmen Zach Lynn
and Michael Berger are
both sprinters and throw-
ers and eighth-grader Pab-
lo Esqueda is a thrower.
If they can improve as
the season goes on, that
would be wonderful, Hil-
debrandt said, adding that
shouldnt be a problem.
They work their tails off.
Everything Ive asked of
them theyve done.
Changes for practice
This year, the Wildcats
have been practicing in
Heron Lake and Okabena
after primarily practicing
in Brewster the last few
years.
Hildebrandt said it has
been a nice change.
Were finding the right
streets, right grass, right
places to throw, he said.
The Wildcats are also
putting more of an empha-
sis on weight training this
season.
Were focusing a little
bit more on strength be-
cause the kids are a little
bit older, Hildebrandt
said. Two days a week
were in the weight room
and thats everybody.
Hopefully that strength
helps them not just be a
better track and field ath-
lete, but a better all-around
athlete.

JCC BASEBALL: Some spots yet to be decided as frst game approaches
Continued from C1
.286 last season. Christof-
fer had an OBP of .400 a
year ago and Flatgards
OBP was .303. Wacker
returns to the team after
seeing action in the middle
infield as a sophomore but
not playing last season.
Wierson said speed will
be an asset for the Huskies
this season as they hope to
put pressure on their op-
ponent.
Weve got some speed,
he said. The biggest thing
on offense is were going to
run the bases well. If we
can run the bases well, we
can put a lot of pressure on
teams. We dont have any
big hitters, so well play
small ball and make them
make plays.
Wierson said the South-
west Conference and Sec-
tion 3AA are again loaded,
which will present a chal-
lenge nearly every game.
Between our confer-
ence and our section, were
pretty much stacked, he
said, listing Marshall, Lu-
verne and Worthington as
all SWC powers and New
Ulm and Fairmont as sec-
tion favorites. Its going to
be tough.
Wierson is assisted at
the varsity level by Blaise
Jacobsen, who was the
head coach at Southwest-
ern United last season.
Kevin Holm and Nathan
Boler will coach the B and
C squads, respectively,
and Eric Tvinnereim and
Brandon Fredrickson are
the middle school coaches.

shortstop, Mathias returns
to first base and senior
Kristin Liepold returns to
third base. Add in Ober-
moller back at catcher
and SWU has almost all
of its infield back from a
year ago.
The only infield battle to
be determined is at second
base, where seventh-grad-
er Jessica Rossow, eighth-
grader Stephanie Kazemba
and seniors Catelyn Lacour
and Mariah Crowell all
have a chance.
Junior Lizzie Rossow
returns to left field and
Kazemba also returns with
experience in the outfield.
Also competing for out-
field spots are Crowell,
Lacour, eighth-grader Tes-
sla Crowell and seventh-
graders Rossow and Sa-
mantha Freking.
Crowell will also pitch
and Rogotzke expects her
and the other younger
players to fit in well with
an experienced core of
Wildcats.
The young ones like
Tessla will do very well
with the team, she said.
Rogotzke said the lack of
outdoor practices has been
a challenge working on
defense, but the Wildcats
seem to be pretty good with
the glove.
The defense in the
gym looks good, she said.
Now we have to make the
throw.
On offense, the Wildcats
figure to be aggressive.
Were going to run the
bases as much as we can,
Rogotzke said. Weve been
working on bunting and
slapping.
With an experienced
squad back, Rogotzke said
the aim is to do better than
the five wins posted last
spring.
We want to improve on
last years record, she
said. We improved last
year and want to see it con-
tinue. I want them to have
fun. I want them to enjoy
softball.

SWU SB: Wildcats return eight in hopes of improving on fve wins
Continued from C4
When it comes to team
scores, neither the South-
western United boys or
girls golf teams are count-
ing on a ton of success,
especially early in the sea-
son.
Individually, however,
the Wildcats have a chance
to make some noise.
The Wildcat boys fea-
ture two returning varsity
mainstays and the girls
have junior Kaylee Wend-
land back after making a
trip to sections last season.
After that, its a whole lot
of learning.
The teaching will be
done by first-year head
coach Jared Bourquin, who
Individual success the early goal for Wildcat golfers
SWU hoping for
complete teams by
end of the season
by DAN CONDON
Sports Editor
was an assistant with the
Wildcats last season.
Two seniors to lead boys
Seniors Clay Salzwedel
and Walker Crocker return
for the Wildcats and will be
counted on to lead the team
in many ways.
The two will be counted
on for low scores, but also
to help bring along an inex-
perienced rest of the team.
Those two have to help
lead the others, Bourquin
said.
Salzwedel shot an 83 at
the Red Rock Conference
meet last season to finish
in a tie for second place.
Junior Josh Radke was
in his first year on the SWU
golf team last season and
juniors Hunter Timko and
Garrett Schumacher and
eighth-grader Ben Shel-
dahl are all fairly new to
the sport.
Clay and Walker are
capable of low scores,
Bourquin said. Then we
need two others to step up
to be competitive.
Bourquin hopes that is
something that happens
over the course of the
spring.
The top two we want to
get consistent; do it day in
and day out, he said. The
rest we want to bring their
scores down to a competi-
tive range.
For Bourquin, the goal
for the boys team this sea-
son is pretty simple.
We want to have com-
petitive meets, he said.
We want to get four qual-
ity scorers every meet.
Along with the six var-
sity golfers, sixth-graders
Ethan Untiedt and Ethan
Koep are out for golf. Be-
cause they are only in sixth
grade, they arent eligi-
ble for varsity meets, but
Bouquin hopes to get them
in junior high meets to gain
experience.
Wendland aims for state
If the boys need an ex-
ample of how to have suc-
cess without much experi-
ence, they dont have to
look very far.
Wendland made it to the
section meet last spring
in her first season on the
Wildcat golf team.
This season, she will be
counted on to lead a team
of just five Wildcat girls.
I would really like to see
Kaylee qualify for state,
Bourquin said. She has
the ability to do so.
Joining Wendland are ju-
nior Kennedy Cummings,
sophomore Haley Reusch
and freshmen Sarah Mad-
sen and Brooke Freking.
Reusch has golfed be-
fore, but not for a number
of years. The other three
have never touched a
club, Bourquin said.
Bourquin hopes he can
get Reusch up to speed
in a hurry so she can play
alongside Wendland in
matches, something that
didnt happen with the
Wildcats incomplete team
last season.
Kailey was really un-
comfortable last year not
having a team, Bourquin
said, adding a typical group
in a meet includes two
players from each team.
She never had the oppor-
tunity to have that comfort
of playing with a team-
mate.
That could change if and
when Reusch and others
are ready.
My goal is to get Reusch
comfortable at varsity and
see how far we can get with
the other three, Bourquin
said.
Season scheduled
to start Tuesday
The Wildcats are sched-
uled to open their season
next Tuesday with a meet
against Red Rock Central.
SWU has six other meets
scheduled during April
before five more regular-
season meets on the docket
in May.
The Red Rock Confer-
ence meet is May 13, the
sub-section meet is May
15 in Worthington and the
Section 3A meet is May 28
in Marshall.
The Wildcats will play
their home meets at North
Valley Golf Course in
Lakefield, a change from
the last few years when
they played primarily at
Prairie View in Worthing-
ton.
