The heat sheets are out, and now it is time for more than a dozen athletes from Door and Kewaunee counties to head west for the WIAA State Track Meet hosted by UW-LaCrosse.
Kewaunee's Hannah Miller (400m, 800m, and triple jump), Christopher Cullen (1600m), Maddix Mueller (triple jump), Braxton Riha (shot put), Kemper Robinson (discus), and the boys' 4x200m relay, Luxemburg-Casco's girls' 4x200m relay team, Grace Seering (300 hurdles), Sturgeon Bay's Ella Tarkowski (100m), and Gibraltar's McKailey Reisen (high jump, 100m hurdles) and the girls 4x100m relay all qualified for the two-day event.
Reisen is returning to the state stage after qualifying for last year's event. She says she is even more excited to qualify for this year's state meet because of her experience last year and the fact that she gets to go through it all with her relay team, which includes freshman Hayden Knudson, sophomore Bella Jones, and junior Aria Nordahl.
It will be the first time to state for Knudson, Jones, and Nordahl, who says they have leaned on Reisen and their coaches for advice.
