Nameth returns after finishing state runner-up in 3,200JEREMY JONES

Sports editor

Verona Area High School trackand field senior Ryan Namethreturns after a second-place fin-ish at the WIAA Division 1 statemeet in the 3,200-meter run.

Nameth, a University of Wis-consin distance recruit, posted aschool record time of 9 minutes,15.33 to finish second to rivalOlin Hacker of Madison West.

He returns in hopes of leadingthe Wildcats to a first-place fin-ish in the Big Eight Conference.

Though the Wildcats expect tobe much stronger in the throwingevents this season, they enter theseason without the same sprintdepth they had last year.

“We will need to stay healthyto have a chance at the Big 8championship this year,” VAHShead coach Joff Pedretti said.

The Wildcats won the Veronaregional and Janesville Parkersectional, but finished runner-upin the Big Eight to Middleton.

Senior Noah Roberts shouldonce again be solid in the throwsat the conference level, whileJack Herkert (high jump), JacobAuman (triple jump), and Cam-eron Tindall (sprints) will likelyround out our top performers thisseason.

Verona returns three quartersof its 4x200 relay in senior JoshBeckam, Auman and Cameron,which took 17th place at state.

The team’s top field event fin-isher, Steven Queoff finished19th in the high jump competi-tion.

The Cardinals, who finishedfifth at last year’s state meet, areonce again the favorite to winthe Big Eight. If the Cardinalswin the title, it would be the firstthree-peat since Verona joinedthe Big 8 in 2009. Last year Mid-

dleton finished 59 points aheadof the second-place Wildcats lastyear.

“I don’t think they will com-pletely dominate like that again,but their returners they are cer-tainly the front-runners again,”Pedretti said.

Beside Verona and Middleton,Janesville Craig is expected toround out the top-tier in confer-ence with solid returners.

Middleton returns three-fourthof its second place 4x100relay (Alex Wood, Noah

Meester and NmadiOkoli) and a l l ofits seventh-place4 x 8 0 0 r e l a y(Roger Waleffe,Zach Shoemaker-Allen, Josh Aran-dia and Hagge).

The Cardinals graduated high jump state runner-up Andy Kee-

ler, but return seniorP a rke r Johnson ,who finished eighthin the pole vault.P e r r in Hagge i s

back after f inishing10th in the 800 run.Defending state champion

Olin Hacker and Jack Wellen-stein (400) both of MadisonWest should once again be topsin the state in their respectiveevents.

Hacker, a two-time state crosscountry champion, returns afterwinning the 3,200 last year. Hefinished third in the 1,600.

Other conference a thle tesexpected to be amongst thearea’s best are Middleton’sPerrin Hegge (800) and NoahMeeteer (pole vault).

Janesville Craig’s Ian Reinickefinished third in the triple jump,while Madison La Folle t teCharles Jackson placed seventh.

jump. The top thrower in the BigEight is also open following thegraduation of Sun Prairie’s CraigEvans, who placed fourth at statein the shot put.

A year ago the Verona AreaHigh School softball team torethrough its varsity schedule,posting a 22-4 overall recorden route to the team firstWIAA Division 1 state tour-nament berth in four years.

Though the Wildcats’ stel-lar season came to a close inthe state quarterfinals and theloss of seven letterwinners, includ-ing five starters, head coach Todd Ander-son and his squad still enter this seasonwith high expectations.

A lot of that confidence rest come from

the winning culture the program has builtover the past 10-15 years, while seniorshortstop Kori Keyes brings her own lev-el of excitement back to the diamond.

A University of Evansville recruit,Keyes is a 3-year starter, and willbe invaluable for a relativelyyoung team with five new start-ers.

Sprint relays, jumps couldcarry Wildcats this seasonJEREMY JONES

Sports editor

Verona Area High Schoolgirls track and field team lost15 letterwinners from a yearago, but remain optimisticwith 25 returning.

Despite finishing fifthoverall in the Big Eight Con-ference a year ago, Veronacould be more than capableof moving up a couple spots.The top two spots are prob-ably out of reach, however.

“We hope to be competi-tive in the extremely talentedBig 8 conference,” MarkHappel said. “We havedecent depth in the sprintsand some talented returning

jumpers, vaul ters and hur-dlers.”

Verona returns half of itsstate-qualifying 4x200 and4x400 relays. SophomoreKristi Larsen was on bothrelays, while junior KylieSchmaltz joined her and

Jenni LaCroix and LexyRichardson to take 19thin the 4x200. SeniorHannah Miller, LaCroixand Richardson teamedup with Larsen to finish21st as a 4x400 team.

Lexy Richardson, whofinished 19th in the high

jump, graduated followinglast season, leaving sopho-more Kailey Olson to takeover as the girl’s top high

jumper.

Olson has looked solidto state the season, winningthe Nelson-Daniel Classicafter finishing second to thedefending state champion atthe W/TFA – both indoors atUW-Whitewater.

Also leaving a void in thefield events is Nikky Zim-brick, who graduated afterqualifying for state in thepole vault.

“As always we are goingto expect our senior captainsand returning state qualifiers

to lead the team at practice

and in meets,” Happel said.Middleton and Sun Prai-

rie continue to reload with atremendous amount of talentand depth.

“Middleton, Sun Prairieand Madison Memorial areall loaded with talent anddepth,” Happel said.

Middleton finished in aninth-place tie with Bay Portat state last season, while SunPrairie took 12th.

Middleton returns all ofits fifth place 4x100 relay inOlivia Robers, Hanna Docter,Rachel Zander and LaurenSmith. Senior Bobbi Patrickand Docter return on the

4x400 as well which finishedrunner-up with returningteammates Hanne Anderson-Smith and Emily Zeker.

Senior Rachel Wians,Samantha Valentine and Pat-rick added a second-placefinish on the 4x800 as well,but graduated Delaney Fos-ter.

Patrick also finished ninthin the 800, while Sun Prai-rie junior Katie Hietpas tookseventh in the 3,200 and 11thin the mile.

Sun Prairie returns the onlydefending state champion inthe Big Eight in senior high

ju mper Tier ney Lind ne r(5-6).

Madison Memorial juniorHolly Houston returns asthe Big Eight’s top discusthrower after finishing ninthat state.

Beloit Memorial figuresto be the team to beat in thesprints, especially after its4x200 finished eighth over-all at state last year with theall-underclassmen quarter ofShynia Summerville, GraceRoegner, Yolonda Johnsonand Elliott Jaliyah.

Elliott also figures to beone of the conference’s topsprinters this season after fin-ishing in seventh place in thestate in the 100-meter dash.

P l e t t a f i n i s h e dhis sophomore sea-son with a 22-8record, but it wasa 6-4, 6-1 loss atthe Lake GenevaBadger sectionalto Oregon’s CalvinSchneider that motivat-ed him over the offsea-son. That loss cost Plettaa chance to qualify

for his first WIAADivision 1 indi-v i d u a l s t a t emeet.

It was the first timein over 14 years that theWildcats failed to qualify

anyone for the individualstate tournament.

“I feel like we have amore mature team thisyear with the addition ofthree new players whichwill bolster our depth,”VAHS head coach RickEngen said.

Behind Pletta in thelineup is a pair two-timeletterwinner in junior Pat-rick Conley (No. 2 sin-gles) and Jonah Gerrits (3singles).

Freshman Vivik Swam-inath figures to round outthe varsity singles lineup.

Junior Matt Blessingmoves up to No. 1 dou-bles where he is expectedto be joined by freshmanJordan Hutchcroft, whois replacing his brotherJackson and Johnny Yan.

S ophom ore ConnorMelzer and senior Alex

Brietfelder take over atNo. 2 doubles , while

senior Christian Grossand junior Luke Schoe-berle open the season inthe 3 doubles spot.
