This last weekend, the Wall of Sound traveled to Franklin for the Saber Marching Invitational. No one can control the weather. You can only control how you react to bad weather. After rain and lightning moved the marching competition inside, the Germantown students respond with an excellent show, performing in the Franklin gym. This week they travel to Waukesha West on Sunday for the Fox River Invitational.

Whitefish Bay Invite – September 14th, 2023


The girls faced a tougher course this week versus last week, but showed their strength with an abundance of PRs (personal records) and SBs (season bests).  Lowering their PRs were Samyiah Fox, Lizzy Liker, Kierta Siegert, Katy Morin, Elise Olson, Carley Lorbecki, Lauren Reineck, Emily Laitinen, Savannah Wendorf, Paige Greisch, Elyse Steuerwald, Clare Kanters, Jordan Knudson, Ellie Ankerson, and Ella Gouthro; running SBs were Grace Pedersen, Alissa Lorbecki, and Brooke Jakubowski.

 

Medals winners in the varsity race were Samyiah Fox (4th) and Lizzy Liker (5th), leading the varsity team to 3rd place.  The JV team continues to show the depth we have this year, improving on last year’s 6th place with 2nd place this year, only 3 points out of 1st!  Medal winners in that race were Sophie Lee (1st), Elise Olson (3rd), Carley Lorbecki (6th), Lauren Reineck (9th), and Emily Laitinen (10th).  Full results can be found at: https://pttiming.com/event.php?mid=1468&pt=results

Well done to the girls' golf team as they did super well at the conference meet this week!



The Germantown Boys’ Soccer Team has gone 1-0-1 so far this week with a big 3-2 victory over the Falls and a 1-1 tie against Shorewood.  At the Falls, Adam Dethloff had two goals and senior captain Nate Brock had a game winning goal late in the second half.  Thursday night was faculty night.  Germantown started the scoring with a freekick taken by Joey Melka and finished by Nick Humphriss.  Unfortunately, they were unable to hold the lead in the second half and ended the game in a tie.  Next, the boys travel to Arrowhead for a 4 team tournament and will take on Oak Creek Friday night.  Good luck!
