Highlights of Woodland Indoor Varsity Conference Meet
Could not be at beginning of meet, or track everything, but here are a few highlights for the record:

Boys 4x800 Relay
My understanding is that most of the boys had a tough run; Brendan Vorpahl was at about 2:15, John Taylor (recovering from food poisoning), Gavin Schroeder and Keith Dodd were in the 2:20s.

Charles Miller Leads the Way for Shorewood in Boys 55 Meter Dash; Kristen Obiakor Makes it to Finals and Places 8th.
Charles Miller was our top 55 Meter Dash sprinter coming in 11th with a time of 6.95, followed by Joey Knutson at 7.19 and Matthew Wasinginton at 7.41. Kristen Obiakor was the girls standout with a preliminary of 8.08 and a final time of 8.10 placing 8th overall in conference. Annie Kpcak came in at 8.53.

Kushner Leads Way for Boys 55 Hurdles; Walker Does It for the Girls
Mike Kushner placed 17th overall with a time of 10.39 while Markesha Walker places 13th overall for the girls with a time of 11.02, followed by Molly Hopkins in 18th with a time of 12.97.

Baker and Vrobel Finish Strong in Girls 1600 Meter Race
Morgan Baker and Jenny Vrobel ran for Shorewood....both starting in the back of the pack and running close together. Both began moving through the pack and finishing a solid 9th and 10th overall; I believe both had PRs. Morgan broke 6 minutes, coming in with a strong finish at 5:53.73 and Jenny was directly behind her with a time of 6:02.02.

Drews and Tyler take 2nd and 3rd in Boys 1600 Meter Race
Expected to be a major shootout between a couple of conference rivals, Bobby Laabs, Peter Drews and Ben Tyler put their toes to the line while Alec Haouglin sat it out to run the 3200. Laabs set the pace during the first half of the race with Drews and Tyler following. Just past the halfway point there was a jockeying for first and Laabs decided to make his move, surging into a solid first place. Drews hung shortly behind him as Tyler drifted away. Drews had a strong kick at the end but not strong enough to overtake Laabs, coming in at about 4:31, Drews directly behind him a 4:32.85, followed by Tyler at 4:38.22.

Miller, Krishoc and Knutson Competes in 200 Meter; Obiakor and Kipcak do it for the Girls
Charles Miller came in first in his heat, placing tops for Shorewood at 9th overall with a time of 24.39, followed by Malachi Krishoc, placing 13th at 24.78 and Joe Knutson at 25.54 for 18th. Kristen Obiakor placed 11th overall for the girls with a time of 30.26, followed by Annie Kipcak at 20th with a time of 32.06.

Krushner Places 15th in 200 Meter Hurdles for Boys; Walker Places 16th in 200 Meter Hurdles for Girls
Mike Krushner came in with a time of 29.55 in the 200 Meter Hurdles for the Boys, placing 15th, while Markesha Walker finished the meet with a time of 36.56 in the Girls 200 Meter Hurdles, followed by Molly Hopkins at 23rd with a time of 40.34.

Jordan Washington Has Solid Performance in 400 Meter Dash, Placing 7th Overall
Washington had a solid time of 54.93 in the 400 Meter Dash to have him score points for S.horewood with a 7th place finish. Other runners included Oliver Heywood and Justin Carter placing 3 and 4th in their heat and finishing 14th and 15th with times of 58.34 and 58.51 respectively. Oliver beat Justin by a breath as Justin seemed to be struggling with a potential hamstring injury.

Cara and Emily Jacobsen Have Impressive 2nd and 4th Places Finishes in 400 Meter Dash
Sisters Cara and Emily were the highlight reel for the girls in the 400 Meter Dash, finishing and scoring 2nd and 4th in Conference with times of 1:03.66 and 1:04.36. Bridgeitte Sellinger won her heat and placed 10th overall with at time of 1:08.08.

Drews Places 5th in 800 Meter, followed by Vorphal and Dodd; Waters Wins Her Heat in the Girls, With a Strong Finish, Places 7th Overall, Followed by Schroeder and Lubka.
Peter Drews had a tough battle in the 800 Meter race, starting way behind the pack and having to work his was into competition. The effort paid off but he did not have his typical kick to compete for top honors, coming in 5th with a solid time of 2:07.42; Brendan Vorphal and Keith Dodd followed, placing 10th and 14th with times of 2:15.20 and 2:17.82 respectively.

Nora Waters had an impressive run with a very strong kick in the last lap to solidly win her heat and placing 7th overall for the girls with at time of 2:38.75, a PR, I believe. Laura Schroeder placed second in the same heat and placed 9th overall with a time of 2:41.75, followed by Elana Lubka who placed 4th in the same heat and 14th overall with a time of 2:46.83.

Tyler Takes 3200 With a Solid Performance; Pendleton PRs and Places 3rd
Ben Tyler took command immediately in the 3200 Meter race, making sure state contender Alek Houglin will have to fight for the position from the very beginning. Houglin stayed on his tail for a third of the way through the race when he started drifting away. Tyler went out fast at about 4:46 in the first mile and finished the race at about 9:46.06 for a PR. Pendleton had a strong finish, placing 3rd overall with a significant PR of 10:34.01. Gavin Schroeder rounded the Shorewood boys off with at 15th place finish at 11:34.

Bachhuber Left No Doubts in Girls 3200
Emily Bachhuber had her debut 3200 and set the pace at the very beginning and let no one challenge her during the entire race. The lead pack stayed with her most of the way but her kick in the last lap settled the score. Her final time was 12:07.48.

Relay Highlights
Not sure of any of the results but heard that we had a very strong 4x200 relay team but for a poor handoff. We were in 2nd place going into the last leg but lost a ton of ground at handoff.

Highlights from the Field Events
Sorry for poor reporting on field events. James Newton was most impressive for the Boys, placing 7th overall in the Boy's Triple Jump with a distance of 38'03.50" and 9th overall in the Boy's Long Jump with a distance of 19'07.50". Mario Giacobassi placed 11th overall in the Boy's Shot Put with a throw of 23'08.00". Will try to do better in the future!
