• Coach Carter and Coach Carl laced it up and competed in the Sparta Old Timers tournament and both went 2-0! Helen Maroulis and others might have just qualified for the Olympics, but they’ve been Sparta Old Timers champs.

  
  

• Shout out to Maddie Hall for signing her letter of intent to wrestle at UW-Steven’s Point.

  
  

• Good job to Haley Dezelske for competing at freestyle state and going 2-2 at the Northern Plains regionals.

  
  

• Aini Anderson was selected to represent Team Wisconsin on the national junior duals in June.

  
  

• Coach Carl won the first ever Wisconsin Girls State Coach of the Year Award. Thank you to everyone who reached out to say congratulations!

  • That is a great award and we did have a very successful year, but it doesn’t change our process. No matter what type of season we have and even after we become State Champions, our offseason conversations with always be based on the same concept - What can we do better?

  • Coach Carl started the season with about 30 offseason ideas/improvements to work on. About 35 are now finished and there are still 15 left…Either his math is bad or we keep thinking of ideas.

  
  

• Good luck to our track and softball athletes as they begin the postseason! Holmen girls track just took home first at conference by a landslide.

Hope all the Mothers had a great Mothers’ Day! Thank you for all you do for your families.
