Seniors play a crucial role in the team. They bring leadership, experience, determination, and a work ethic that underclassmen can learn from. The team this year loses 7 out of 22 (1/3rd) roster spots next year and the qualities that these girls bring is hard to replace. The underclassmen were paired with a senior and showed their appreciation by making blankets and giving the seniors their favorite candies, a tradition passed on from years previous and one that will continue for years to come.
Thank you to the following Seniors: Alikah Hesiak, Tiffany Schelonka, Eliana Szejna, Izzy Koslo, Maggie Johnson, Sanvi Rathod and Julia Anderson

The Girls' Varsity Golf Team closed out their regular season this week with two 18 hole tournaments. The first on Monday was a tough test at Tuckaway Country Club in the Franklin Invite.

On Wednesday the girls played their last match as a part of the Greater Metro Conference. Remy Lichtig tied her school record of 77 and led the way to placing 6th in the conference. Remy also received 2nd team all conference honors for her consistently excellent play throughout the year. The team is onto Regionals next Thursday at Fire Ridge. Best of Luck Girls!

Good luck to the Warhawks as they travel to Janesville on Saturday, September 26th for a very competitive meet!
The Germantown Boys' Cross Country Team made an overnight trip to Wausau for the 70th Annual Smiley Invitational. There was some top competition at the meet including three time defending D1 state champion Stevens Point Area High School (SPASH).
Cooler weather and light rain made for some fast running on a tough course.
The JV Squad kicked off the racing and finished 14th out of 26 scoring teams. The scoring runners were: Connor McGinty (freshman), Evan Paruch (freshman), Landon Leukert (sophomore), Justin Sossaman (junior), and Max Goltry (freshman). Connor, Evan, Max, and Gabe Pearman had personal records (PRs) in the race; Landon, Wyatt Privat, and Nathan Schroeder had Season Best marks.
The Varsity race went out fast offering a preview of some of the runners that will most likely be on the podium at the State Championship. The Germantown squad finished 15th out of 25 scoring teams with Vander Hausmann (junior), Ben Armstrong (junior), Will Grimm (sophomore), Emanuel Santiago (sophomore), and Blake Yegge (junior) making up the scoring five. Congrats to Ben, Will, Emanuel, and Blake for their PRs. Vander finished 16th overall in the D1 Large Division bracket and earned a medal.
The team had a great weekend of bonding and the athletes learned about how to travel and compete at a high level. Thanks to all of the parents and supporters who made the trip to Wausau to support the team!
The team is off this weekend for Homecoming and the athletes are focused on an intense two week training block. The cross country team will next compete at the Arrowhead Invite on Saturday, October 3rd. Good luck!
Congratulations to the Wall of Sound on an excellent performance at the Saber Marching Invitational at Franklin on Saturday.

Thank you to all the parents who made the trip to Franklin!
