The Germantown Girls' Cross Country Team is HEADED TO STATE! Students and staff celebrated the team on Thursday during Resource as they walked the halls and the community celebrated them in a send-off on Friday morning as they headed out to Wisconsin Rapids. Good luck, ladies!
The Germantown Boys' Cross Country season has come to an end with athletes racing at JV State or Sectionals last week.
JV State
The team raced at JV State at Rotary Park on Thursday, October 22nd. The scoring five for the Faster race were: Connor McGinty (freshman), Will Reedy (freshman), Amay Desai (senior), Jimmy Zheng (senior), and Max Goltry (freshman). Connor and Amay both had personal records (PRs) to end their seasons and Justin Sossaman (junior) had his best race of his junior year campaign posting a season best mark. The Faster race athletes did a great job competing and set the tone for the team.
In the Fast race five of the team’s nine athletes had PRs and the team finished 11th out 18 teams. Josiah Schmidt (senior) led the way for the squad and he was followed by Nathan Schroeder (sophomore), Wyatt Privat (sophomore), Gabe Pearman (senior), and Landon Leukert (sophomore) to make up the scoring 5 runners. Josiah, Nathan, Gabe, Victor Chang (sophomore), and Jeremy Santos Madrid (sophomore) all had PRs to end their seasons.
WIAA Sectionals
It was exciting to watch the girls team qualify for State on Saturday, October 24th at Rotary Park. Following the girls’ race, the boys’ seven Sectional runners toed the line to compete against some of the top ranked teams and individuals in the State of Wisconsin. Vander Hausmann (junior) led the effort for the team - running a 16:25.9 and he was 13th overall. Vander missed out qualifying for State by two places. Vander was followed by Emanuel Santiago (sophomore), Ishaan Singh (sophomore), Blake Yegge (junior), and Will Grimm (sophomore) to make up the team’s scoring five runners. The team finished 9th out of 11 scoring teams and just one point behind Brookfield Central. Congrats to Emanuel running 17:20.9 improving from his PR of 18:50 from his freshman year. Ishaan squeaked out a PR running 18:00.7. Blake had 19 second PR running 18:21.2 at Sectionals which is a 4 minute and 39 second improvement from his first race of his freshman year. Well done to all!
Thanks to all of the teammates, alums, and families that showed up at the team’s final races to support the student-athletes. All runners put in a great season of work; maintained a positive “team-first” attitude; had a lot of fun; and saw some significant improvements. Already the returning athletes are talking about winter running plans and looking forward to next year!
Congratulations to Alex Seboe and William Heller for a great job at the State Championship mountain bike race at the Trek trails in Waterloo last Sunday. There were 1,226 athletes racing across the different categories. The course featured rocky terrain, steep and technical singletrack climbs and descents along with tight cornering throughout the course. Alex took 26th place and William took 56th place. Both athletes did an AMAZING job!

The GTown Boys' Volleyball Team is on their way to the Sectional Final match at 4:30 on Saturday, October 31 at Cedarburg against Sussex Hamilton. GOOD LUCK!
Congratulations to Emily Laack and Wyatt Lau. They were both selected for the WSMA State Honor Band. The State Honor Band is a collection of the best musicians in Wisconsin. Students audition in February and find out they are selected in May. In June, they attended a four day camp at UW-Eau Claire where all the musicians come together. At the camp, they prepare music for performance at the WMEA State Music Conference this week. After a few rehearsals, they perform on Thursday at the Overture Center in Madison.
The Wall of Sound was also celebrated on Thursday during Resource for their 5th place State finish! Well done to all!
