KEOTA VARSITY GOLF
Head coach: Rod Hill
The graduation of a number of
experienced and talented golfers
from last year’s Keota team has
opened the doors for some newcomers to show what they’ve got
this spring on the links.
Although coach Rod Hill returns a number of golfers with
varsity experience, the Keota girls
have just one golfer who competed at SICLs last year returning
to the fold. That one girl is Elise
Swanstrom, who came through
with a score of 167 at the conference meet as a sophomore.
Swanstrom’s best 9-hole round last
season was a 67.
The team’s top returner, who
was unable to compete last year at
SICLs, is senior Grace Shemanski.
Shemanski has come on strong late
in the past two seasons, including
shooting an impressive season-best
round of 50 last year. The senior
looks to be the team’s Number 1
this year, with her 9-hole average

Lady Eagles welcome in newcomers
By Adam Meier
Regional Sports Editor
KEOTA GIRLS
TRACK & FIELD
Head coach: Dan Stout
In 2015, the Keota girls’ varsity
track & field team was short on
numbers. Only two of the team’s
three participants from last season return to the oval this year, yet
an influx of five newcomers this
spring will make the Lady Eagles
much better off than a year ago.
Head coach Dan Stout welcomes back returning letter winners Erin Chalupa and Wynonna
Morris.
Chalupa was the team’s top
performer a year ago, placing 10th
at the South Iowa Cedar League
Conference Meet in the long
jump, 14th in the 100-meter dash
and 17th in the 200-meter dash.
As a sophomore, Chalupa’s best
100, 200 and 400 times were 14.75
seconds, 35.40 seconds and 1:16,
respectively. Erin will look to improve on her 2015 marks, as well
as play a big part in the team’s
sprint relays.
Meanwhile, Morris will look
to be the team’s top-dog in the
middle distance events. Although
Morris is capable, and has past
experience in sprint events, the
sophomore will make her mark at
the middle distances. Morris ran a
season best 400-meter dash time
of 1:22 last season, to go along
with her personal-best time of
35.40 in the 200-meter dash. The
sophomore also has experience
throwing the discus, with her best
mark of 2015 coming at a distance
of 58’8’’.
The team’s five newcomers, for
the most part, will excel at the
short distances.
Freshmen Brianna Duwa and
MaCayla Schweitzer will look to
plug into Keota’s 4x100 and 4x200
relays; two events that the Lady
Eagles weren’t able to compete in
a year ago. Jolee Walker will also
be in the mix in Keota’s sprint and
middle distance relay events, with
Jill Schulte doing the same. Schulte, a freshman, appears poised to
make some noise in the hurdle
events, as she placed 23rd out of 31
runners in the 60-meter hurdles at
the SICL Indoor in Grinnell. Also,
look for Carley Jaeger to compete
at the short distances as well as the
throwing events.

Big potential for Keota boys
Spring Sports | Wednesday, April 13, 2016

By Adam Meier
Regional Sports Editor
KEOTA BOYS
TRACK & FIELD
Head coach: Larry Lyle
It’s going to be a very interesting year for coach Larry Lyle’s boy
tracksters.
The Eagles return a number of
high caliber sprinters, distance
runners and field athletes, but
they also have some big question
mark.
A State qualifier in three events
last year as a junior, Nate Sieren is
back for the Eagles, but it’s unclear
how he’ll perform after suffering a broken leg midway through
Sigourney-Keota’s football season. Should Sieren return to near
100-percent by the end of the season, Keota would have more than
one formidable threat in the sprint
events.
Sieren placed fourth in the 200
and fifth in the 100 and SICLs last
spring, before, finishing 11th in the
100 (11.40 seconds) and 21st in the
200 (23.72) at the State Meet. Sieren was also a part of Keota’s Statequalifying 4x200, which consisted
of Sieren, Luke Greiner, Jacob
Wickenkamp and Ben Horras.
Now, without Wickenkamp and
Horras, the Eagles won’t be likely
to match last year’s 11th-place State
finish in the 4x200.
Sophomore Luke Greiner is
back in the fold after running
season-best times of 12.81 sec-

onds and 25.24 seconds in the 100
and 200, respectively. Greiner is
also the team’s top-returning long
jumper, with a mark of 18’ 3.5’’
inches last season.
Look for senior Zach Mousel to fill in for the Eagles in the
sprint relays. As a junior, Mousel
ran mostly 400s, but should slide
in nicely to the team’s sprint crew,
as should Isaiah Hahn. With a depleted sprint crew, the Eagles are
counting on Hahn to convert from
running 800s and 1,600s, to running shorter distances.
Sophomores Turner Klein and
Logan Sieren will highlight the
team’s distance crew this season.
After turning in impressive freshman seasons in cross country and
track, the duo will lead the Eagles
in the distance events. Sieren is
the team’s top returner in the 800,
running a 2:27 last spring, while
Klein’s season best from last year
was 2:27 in the 800 and 5:09 in the
mile.
Dylan Burgdorf will also play a
hand in the middle and long distances for Keota, while Jason Ree
is back and looking to improve on
his hurdle time of 17.6 seconds in
the 110 highs, and 1:14 in the 400
lows.
In the throwing events, Alex
Heisdorffer and Dakota Slaughter
will lead Keota’s attack. In 2015,
Heisdorffer came through with
the team’s best discus mark, at 85’
3’’, while Slaughter had the top
shot put mark, at 32’ 9’’.
The SICL Conference Meet is
scheduled for Tuesday, May 3, at
BGM High School.

SIGOURNEY BOYS
VARSITY
TRACK & FIELD
Head coach: Jared Jensen
A number of talented veterans are returning to the oval this
spring for coach Jared Jensen and
his Sigourney boys track & field
team, including three who ran at
the State Meet a year ago.
Seniors Jordan Albert and Peyton Crawford, and junior Bryce
Goldman all return to the fold after running as part of Sigourney’s
State-qualifying 4x100 and 4x200
relays, which each set school records a year ago.
Look for freshman Carson
Crawford and junior Ben Appleget to compete for the final spot in
the team’s two sprint relays.
Along with being members of
the 4x100 and 4x200, Albert and
Goldman each find themselves on
the fringe of qualifying as individuals for State. Albert’s best event
comes in the 100-meter dash,
which he ran a season best time

As a sophomore, Goldman rattled
off a personal-best jump of 20’

get to Des Moines this year.
In the distance events, Tyler
Crawford, Will Flanegin, Luke
House and Aaron Michael, along
with Tommy Stout, will headline the Savages, with Crawford’s
1,600 time of 5:00 being the most
impressive mark of the bunch.
Also look for Nick Ives to make a
splash, after enrolling at Sigourney
(from Keota) in the fall.
In the hurdle events, the Magill
brothers of Will and Spencer will
be the ones to watch on the team.
Will, a junior, will push to improve
on his times last year of 18.02 seconds in the 110 highs, and 1:08 in

Speed is the key for Sigourney girls

By Adam Meier
Regional Sports Editor
SIGOURNEY GIRLS
VARSITY
TRACK & FIELD
Head coach: Jeni Harter
After qualifying for State in
three events last season, and placing seventh in one of them, the
Sigourney girls are back for more
and they have speed to burn.
Back again are the four girls
who made up Sigourney’s Statequalifying shuttle hurdle relay
from a year ago: Allison Schroeder, Sarina Gretter, Leah Carter and
Autum Barthelman. Those four
will be poised to improve on last
year’s State performance, when
they were disqualified for leaving
an exchange zone early. The crew’s
fastest time a year ago was 1:11.72,
which would have put them in
13th place in last year’s Class 1A
prelims.
Running the anchor leg in the
relay will be sophomore Autum
Barthelman, who was last year’s
SICL Champion in the 100-meter low hurdles and seventh-place
finisher at State in the 100-meter
dash –- an event which the winner (Maschmann, Montezuma)
and fourth-place finisher (Kriegel,

In addition to the Barthelman
sisters, the Savages bring back senior Victoria Bechert and sophomore Brooke Waechter, along
with freshmen sprinters Savahannah White, Ryleigh Leonard and

Sloane Magill. Magill is also adept
in the hurdle events and will do
her best to push Sigourney’s talented group of hurdlers.
In the distance events, Megan
Montgomery, Jasmine Abell and
Paige Thompson will headline the
group for Coach Harter, as they
should do nothing but improve
throughout the spring.
The duo of Summer Barthelman and Sloane Magill will be two
of the team’s primary field event
athletes, with Barthelman doing
the long jump and Magill throwing the shot put. Leah Carter will
also be back to try her hand in the
high jump and Sam Bird looks to
improve in the throwing events, as
well.
Sisters Macie and Madysen
Leonard will join in the action for
the Savages as well, hoping to give
the team a life in time for the SICL
Conference Meet on Tuesday, May
3, at BGM. The District Meet will
be held on Thursday, May 12, at a

Savage golf keen on postseason success

SIGOURNEY
VARSITY GOLF
Head coach: Lee Crawford
A 2015 season littered with success has caused a rise in expectations this spring for the Sigourney
varsity golf team.
Now under the watch of coach
Lee Crawford, the Savages are returning a wealth of talent, while
welcoming in a new group of
freshmen at the same time.

Redlinger are the veteran leads for
the girls’ squad, but junior Kendall Streigle might just be the best
of the bunch. As a sophomore,
Streigle finished fourth overall at
the SICL Meet with an 18-hole
round of 98. During the entirety
of the 2015 season, Streigle’s best
nine-hole round was 43 –- two
strokes better than Mohr’s.
Although no Savage was better last year than Streigle, perhaps
no one was more consistent than
Mohr. After nearly missing out
on qualifying for State as a sophomore, and doing so again last year
as a junior, Mohr will be poised to
play her best golf this spring.
Along with Mohr, Streigle and
Redlinger, the Savages welcome
back Sierra Davis, Savannah At-
wood, Sydney Streigle and Mya
Talbert -- all of whom have past
varsity experience.
Junior Lindsey Wheeldom and
freshmen Jade Aller and Autumn
Reed will also show what they’ve
got this spring.
The Savages finished four
strokes behind conference champion Belle Plaine at the South Iowa
Cedar League Meet a year ago.
On the boys’ side, returing SICL
individual champion Kaden Benson is back to defend his title as a
junior. Benson shot a 79 last year
at the conference meet to finish
one stroke ahead of BGM’s Keaton Rhinehart and two ahead of
Lynnville-Sully’s Ben Trettin, and
helping Sigourney place fourth
out of ten teams.
GOOD LUCK

SPORTS TEAMS!
Senior Jordan Albert is also
back for the Savages, after recording a season-best nine-hole round
of 43 last year.
Joining Albert and Benson on
Crawford’s squad are sophomore
Tanner Halleran, senior Matt Utterback and a group of five freshmen: Nick Goad, Dustin Haines,
Brett Streigle, Ian Terfehn and
Cole Weber.
Look a number of those young-
sters to step up throughout the
season, with Halleran already being an established presence after
compiling an excellent freshman
season.
The boys’ conference meet will
be on Monday, May 9, at Iowa Valley, with the girls’ meet being two
days later at Brooklyn-Victor Golf
Course. Tee time for both meets is
noon.

More in store for Pekin boys in ‘16
By Adam Meier
Regional Sports Editor
PEKIN BOYS
TRACK & FIELD
Head coach: Davis Eidahl
A fifth-place finish as a team at
last year’s State Meet was an outstanding accomplishment and,
now, the Pekin boys are hoping to
match that success this spring, if
not more.
In coach Davis Eidahl’s 52nd
year at the helm, the Panthers are
returning an excellent contingent
of athletes in every category of
events.
Starting with the sprinters, the
Panthers are bringing back both
Chase and Tyler Copeland, who
ran on the team’s State winning
4x200 and runner-up 4x100 last
year at State. The brothers each
have the ability to run sub-11.5
second 100s, along with sub-24
second 200s, making the team’s
sprint relays formidable on their
own. Supplementing the Copelands in the sprint relays looks to
be the sophomore duo of Chase
Eckley and Levi Long. While Long
was attending North Mahaska last
season, Eckley was busy running
sub-24 seconds 200s and 57-second 400s, making him a potential difference maker in a number
of events. Sophomore Monico
Requena also appears poised to
make a big difference in the sprint
events for the Panthers.
A number of talented runners
return for Coach Eidahl at the
middle distances as well. Along
with Chase Eckley, sophomores
Isaiah Wittrock and Sam Roth are
back after solid freshman seasons.
Wittrock placed 15th in the open
400 at State, while Roth will have
his shot in both the 4x400 and
4x800. Also poised for a breakout year is freshman Cameron
Millikin, who showed impressive
speed on the hardwood this past
winter.
Senior Austin Fariss, junior
Ryan Millikin and sophomore
Chandler Eckley are all back to
improve on their 17th-place finish
at State last season in the 4x800 –
all three of them have the potential to consistently run sub-2:10
800s.
The distance crew will be led
by R. Millikin, Malcolm Myers
and Nate Kielkopf. Millikin took
12th at State last year in the 1,600,
while Myers placed 18th. Millikin
will be pushing to surpass the 4:40
mark in the mile, with Myers eying a 10:20 mark, or better, by the
end of the spring.
Pekin’s hurdle crew will be
formidable as well, consisting of
the likes of Long, Wittrock, Tyler
Loyd and Zack Conger. Also look
for Clayton Culp. Quinn Ledger
and Jordan Hixson to push for
spots in the shuttle hurdle.
9
In the field events, junior Zack
Conger is the team’s top returner,
placing 4th in the high jump last
year in all of Class 1A, clearing
a heighth of 6’5’’. Chase Eckley,
C. Millikin and Caleb Comstock
will be Pekin’s main long jumpers, and Slater Williams and Ryan
Swanson will lead the Panthers in
the discus. Junior Williams, along
with junior Trever Northup, who
was on the fringe of qualifying for
State a year ago, look to be Pekin’s
primary contenders in the shot
put.
Pekin moves up to Class 2A
this season and will run in the
SEISC North Conference Meet on
Thursday, May 5, at Wapello High
School.

TRACK & FIELD
Head coach:
Josh Roudabush
Only Hudson and North Linn
had better overall girls varsity
track & field teams last year in
all of Class 1A than Pekin. This
year, the Lady Panthers will move
up to Class 2A and await the new
challenge of competing alongside
large schools.
Returning for the Lady Panthers are three individual State
champions from last year’s 3rdplace team.
In the high jump, senior Kaysha
Dodson is back after clearing a
personal-best height of 5’6’’ at the
State Meet. This year, Dodson has
goals of not only repeating as State
champion, but of qualifying for
the Drake Relays, which run April
28-30. Senior Beth Atwood is also
back in the fold after qualifying
for State as a sophomore.
Another
returning
State
champion back for her senior
go-around is thrower Shelbie
Williams. Williams, who also
qualified for State last season in
the discus, won the Class 1A shot
put last year by throwing nearly 39
feet. Along with looking to repeat,
Williams is poised for her secondstraight Drake Relays appearance.
Katie Jones and Willow Mills will
also throw this spring for Pekin.
Pekin’s middle and long distance contingent will, once again,
be highlighted by Gwynne Wright.
Now a senior, Wright is looking to
repeat in the 800-meter run after winning it last season in 2:16.
Wright also claimed second place
in both the 1,500 (4:57) and 3,000
(10:52) at State last year, and was
part of Pekin’s 3rd-place distance
medley relay. Senior Taylor Lock
will also be back in action after
placing 8th at State in the 3,000,
running a time of 11:19.
Pekin’s aforementioned distance
medley relay consisted, last year,
of Kaylee Linder, Sloan Reighard,
Shea Dahlstrom and Wright, and
the team brings back all four runners. Linder, the team’s top sprinter, clocked in at 13.15 seconds in
the 100-meter dash at State last
year, and hopes to improve on
her 5th-place finish earned as a
sophomore. Meanwhile, Reighard
and Dahlstrom, along with Payton
Lock and Mackenzie Martin, are
all back after teaming up to place
18th last year in the 4x800. Junior
Chelsea Lanphier will also be in
the mix at the middle distances,
as well as both the 100-meter and
400-meter hurdles. Expect contributions from Taylor Winn in the
middle distances as well.
In addition to Pekin’s wealth of
returning contributors, a host of
newcomers and underclassmen
will make an impact. Zoey Wright
and Jasmine Harvey will be
look to in the sprints and hurdle
events, along with Kalee Haile and
Deanna Winn. Jordyn Earnest is
also back for the Panthers at the
middle distances, along with Hollie Loper, Kelly Myers and Ayren
Essary – all of whom are capable
from 800 meters to 3,000 meters.
Courtney Comstock appears
to be the team’s top long jumper,
with Whitney Johnson and Kodi
Dailey not far behind.
The SEISC North Conference
Meet is scheduled for Thursday,
May 5, at Wapello High School.

Tri-County track
returns experience and potential
By Adam Meier
Regional Sports Editor
TRI-COUNTY BOYS
TRACK & FIELD
Head coach: Keith Kiburz
The tide has turned for the TriCounty varsity boys’ track & field
team.
Just a few short years ago the
Trojans struggled to fill out more
than a few relays and a few individual events. Now, coach Keith
Kiburz and the Trojans are stocked
up on experienced runners, which
will only pay dividends throughout the season.
Leading the team in the category of experience this spring will
be seniors Joe Haberling and Luke
Bombei.
Haberling, a hurdle specialist,
ran times of 20.61 seconds last
year in the 110 highs, and 1:11 in
the 400 lows. The senior also has
experience in the middle distances, and could help the Trojans in
the 4x400 and 4x800.
Once again, Bombei will be the
team’s top thrower this season,
while also playing a role in TriCounty’s sprint relays.
As a junior, Bombei came
through with tosses of 35’10.25’’
in the shot put, and 104’10’’ in the
discus. However, Bombei has already toppled his 2015 season best
in both events, tossing 118’ in the
discus and 40’ in the shot put, early last week. Junior Zach Bolinger
will also be pushing Bombei in the
shot, after nearly reaching 33’ as a

with Bombei also clocking in with

season.
Bailey Davis, Austin Purdy,
Braydon Clubb and Warren Williams, along with newcomer Steven Estes, will make up a large
contingent of Tri-County’s middle

Trojan girls look to sprint toward success
By Adam Meier
Regional Sports Editor
TRI-COUNTY GIRLS
TRACK & FIELD
Head coach: Keith Kiburz
With a limited number of experienced athletes returning to the
oval this spring, the Tri-County
girls’ track & field team will be
counting on a handful of talented
sprinters to lead the way.
Seniors Kristin Krumm and
Emma Bair will head the Trojans’
attack this spring, bringing both
speed and experience to the track.
As juniors, both Bair and Krumm
ran sub-12 second 100-meter
dashes and were right around
the 31-second mark in the 200.
Krumm is also more than capable
in the 100-meter hurdles, running
a season-best time of 20.68 seconds last year.
Joining the sprint crew of Bair
and Krumm will be talented sophomore Allison Steinke. Steinke,
who is also strong in the 400 and
2VNDORRVD‡
6RXWK0DUNHW‡2VNDORRVD,$
800, is the team’s leading returner
in the 200, clocking in at 30.47 last
year as a freshman.
Along with Krumm, expect Riley Danner to play a big part in
Tri-County’s sprint events. Danner clocked in at 16.83 seconds in
the 100 last year, and at 33.39 in
the 200.
At the middle distances, Lexi
Leer and Hannah Miover have
a chance to make a splash, with
Leer also doing her thing in both
the shot put and discus.
Other newcomers for Coach
Kiburz include freshman sprinter
Taylor Dowd, along with Megan
Edmundson, Katharina Wausehkuhr, Jenna Leer and Mathilde
Daspremont.
Sophomore Skyler Fisher is also
back this spring after stepping up
as the team’s top thrower last season. As a freshman, Fisher tossed
a distance of 21’7’’ in the shot put,
and she’ll look to improve on that
this year.
The SICL Conference Meet is
scheduled for Tuesday, May 3, and
will be held at BGM High School.

Numbers a strength for EV boys
By Adam Meier
Regional Sports Editor
ENGLISH VALLEYS
BOYS VARSITY
TRACK & FIELD
Head coach: Becky Beckers
Participation numbers during
the past few years have been shaky
for the English Valleys boys track
& field squad. With a new head
coach and new attitude, though,
the Bears have established a much
deeper roster than usual this season, providing the team with added versatility and excitement.
Without the team’s top performer from a year ago, Kellan
Coppinger (out after ankle surgery), English Valleys will rely on
a largely unproven group.
Highlighting the returning athletes for the Bears are Matt Burlage, Thomas Glandon and Chad
Owens.
Burlage brings experience and
in turn, versatility, in a bevy of
events. The junior competed in the
100, 200, 400, 400-meter hurdles,
800 and 1,600 last year as a sophomore. Burlage can consistently
break the one-minute mark in the
400, while clocking in at around
1:07-1:10 in the 400 hurdles and
2:30 in the 800.
Thomas Glandon is also back
for EV after a successful freshman
season. Glandon has experience
in the 400 hurdles, 800 and 1,600,
and has potential to anchor the
team’s distance medley relay.
Junior Chad Owens returns
as the team’s top field-event performer. Owens should be able to
throw around 90 feet in the discus, as well as right around the 35-

foot mark in the shot put. Jacob

particular, will be in contention

ENGLISH VALLEYS
GIRLS TRACK
Head coach: Kiley Blythe
A fresh influx of throwers,
sprinters and middle distance
runners has equipped the English
Valleys girls varsity track & field
team with a solid core of contributors.
Coach Kiley Blythe will miss
the contributions from a handful
of last year’s seniors, but a talented
group of newcomers will be welcomed with open arms.
After strutting their stuff in the
fall during cross country, freshmen Isabella Fisher and Isabel
Schneider will do much of the
heavy lifting at the middle distances for the Bears. Fisher possesses the versatility to excel at
distances anywhere from 200 to
1,500 meters, while Schneider
looks to stay in the 400 to 1,500
range. Both freshmen gives the
Bears the ability to mix and match
in a number of relay events.
Junior Hannah Greene, who
missed most of the cross county
season with a foot injury, is expected to be back at full strength
-for Coach Blythe. Greene ran
ktimes of 2:39 and 6:00 last year in
the 800 and 1,500, respectively,
and should be around those marks
h
again this spring.

Maleah Ackerman also return

Senior Sam Stewart represents

Stewart, an effective sprinter, will
be a steady performer for the
Bears at the 100 and 200-meter
distances, as will athletic sopho-

Contributions from Autumn
Higdon and Summer Gibson also
are to be expected.
In the field events, freshmen Angela Wells and Madison

ENGLISH VALLEYS
GOLF
Head coach: Jeff Kingland
The 2015 season for the English
Valleys varsity golf team couldn’t
have gone much better.
Coach Jeff Kingland’s boys
squad claimed the South Iowa
Cedar League team title, while
the girls put together a fantastic
season as well. Now, the Bears are
working to plug the holes left by
the talented group of seniors who
led them last year.
Back in the mix for last year’s
conference champion boys are seniors Andrew Kerkove and Casey
Blaylock. At the SICL Meet a year
ago, Kerkove finished with the
team’s second-best score, of 85,
and tied for sixth in the individual conference standings. In 2015,
Kerkove’s best 9-hole round was
39. Blaylock had a strong season as
well, coming in with a score of 43
for his lowest round of the season.
Casey will be looking to improve
on last year’s performance at the
SICL Meet, when he shot a 106.
Junior Will Tapken will be another key performer for English
Valleys this spring. Tapken burst
onto the scene as a sophomore
and showed his potential by coming through with an 18-hole score
of 95 at SICLs.
