Middendorf creates spearfishing decoys

The fishing opener may be coming soon, but it is never too early to begin thinking about the ice fishing and spearfishing season, and Sauk Centre High School junior Keegan Middendorf is preparing by making and selling his own spearfishing decoys. He has started selling some of his creations, and he is looking forward to exhibiting at future decoy shows.

Middendorf’s interest in making decoys started during the 2020 lockdowns. He was watching the YouTube channel of Marlin Baits, who makes crankbaits, so Middendorf began by making bass fishing baits.

Cathy grew up in Springfield, attending higher education at the College of St. Benedict in St. Joseph and later accepting a teaching job at HFS in 1989 when Sister Suzanne Slominski was the school’s principal. Thirty-four years later she continues to teach at HFS. When she started, the school had combined classes, and she taught third and fourth grade, of which there were six sections in an individually guided education model. Over time, she has taught first through fourth grades as needed.

Fundraiser for family Get Outside creates, sells Deputy Owen memorial apparel

BY BEN SONNEK | STAFF WRITER

Pope County Deputy Josh Owen may be gone, but he and his family have not been forgotten.

The Sauk Centre-based Get Outside Clothing Co. has been selling shirts and sweatshirts to support Owen’s family after the deputy passed away due to injuries sustained in an April 15 exchange of gunfire while responding to a domestic call. The result has been one of the largest orders the clothing company has had in its four years of business, and the requests for the special shirts keep coming.

“Honestly, I have no words,” said Angie Seidel, owner of Get Outside. “It has been the most incredible feeling knowing that so many people from all across the United States want to support Josh’s family.”

Seidel knew Owen when they were high school students together in Alexandria. They would have been in the same graduating class had Owen not transferred to Albany. She would later see Owen every so often while he was attending Alexandria Technical College, but their lives took them separate ways.

Seidel was heartbroken when she heard the news that Owen had died in the line of duty.

“I knew it had been a long time since we had seen each other or spoken, but when someone you know loses their life and you once had a connection with that person, it hurts,” Seidel said. “I immediately thought about his wife and son and how they were now going to be without their husband and father.”

When Owen’s hearse passed through Sauk Centre on its way to Glenwood, Seidel watched from a bridge over Interstate 94, feeling like she needed to do something. It was there she got the idea to make the special Get Outside shirts and sweatshirts as both a memorial to Owen and as a

fundraiser for his family.

“As soon as I left, I rushed home and started designing,” Seidel said. “I called my printer and let her know my thoughts, and within four hours, we had the design done, and I was ready to redesign my website to make it all for Josh and his family. A new collection was made on my website and has been the front page of my website for weeks.”

Seidel also shared a post about the special clothing on Facebook, and it was not long before the post had almost 900 shares. She was amazed to see the Get Outside website flood with orders, continuing into the following week. As far as Seidel knows, the Owen fundraiser is likely the largest order she has done, comparable only to another fundraiser where she partnered with CentraCare.

“I am blown away by the response and am so thankful for everyone that placed an order,” Seidel said.

When the 700-plus orders came in, totaling

over 1,500 items, Seidel knew she would need help with packing, and Rob Wiener with the Sauk Centre American Legion offered American Legion Post 67 space in Sauk Centre. With the orders collected in the building May 3, the Seidel family and their helpers began unboxing at 2 p.m. Their first package was completed by 3:30 p.m., and it was not until 9 p.m. that the final order was ready to go.

There will be more packing to come in the future. Get Outside has done a second preorder to accommodate customer requests, which Seidel will be working on for the next couple of weeks.

The proceeds from the fundraiser benefit Owen’s wife, Shannon, and son Rylan.

“I know these shirts do not bring Josh back, but I truly hope in the end it can help alleviate some of the stress the family is going through,” Seidel said.

Having seen Nature Energy’s presentation to the area’s agricultural community, the city of Sauk Centre is interested in getting additional information and resident feedback while deciding how they should proceed.

The city held an informational meeting May 1 so area farmers could hear a presentation from Nature Energy on the biogas plant they are interested in establishing in Sauk Centre. The meeting also gave farmers the opportunity to ask questions about Nature Energy’s operations and plans. The Sauk Centre City Council was also in attendance, and during their May 3 meeting at Sauk Centre City Hall, Sauk Centre Mayor Warren Stone said he found the audience’s reception of the Nature Energy presentation to be positive – but only just barely.

“You’re always going to have those naysayers out there who have already made up their mind on certain things,” Stone said.

“The main thing is the ones who are for it are the forward thinkers … people who are actually looking what the future could be for them, being a farm and a farmer, and how this changes the whole concept.

For the Sauk Centre High School robotics team, the Semiconductors, this past weekend was their first time competing in-person at the Minnesota State Robotics Competition. While they ultimately ranked 27th, the fact that their robot was one of the top 10 scorers in both programming and tele-operated points testifies to the strength of the machine and its crew.

“The kids were great during the entire competi-

tion,” said Brian Riley, robotics team mentor. “They were disappointed in how we ended up, but they also knew we did our best and sometimes things don’t always work out how you planned. The best part is the ideas and conversation we had on the way home, always looking to become better.”

The robotics team last competed at state in 2021, when the competition was held virtually. They placed

in Minneapolis. On their way to the May 5 competition, the Sauk Centre team stopped at Columbia Gear in Avon, a machine shop that specializes in gear manufacturing.

“It was amazing to see what they do and how accurate they have to be,” Riley said. “The kids loved it and had a ton of questions. It really is an impressive company.”

The MSRC itself involved making the robot pick up 13-inch road cones and 9-inch inflatable cubes, placing them on three platforms of differing heights; bonus points could be earned by placing three items in a row.

Lucky seven Sauk Centre speech team members place at state

BY BEN SONNEK | STAFF WRITER

When the final results of the state speech meet were announced April 29 at Eastview High School in Apple Valley, all three Sauk Centre High School speech team members had mixed feelings.

“I was happy to have placed at state but I also knew that it meant the season was officially over,” said team member Luke Middendorf.

Juniors Middendorf and Christopher Polipnick placed seventh in duo interpretation.

“I was really happy to have placed on the state level, but a part of me wished we could have placed just a bit higher,” Polipnick said. “It left me hungry for more.”

For senior Sydney Zollman, this was her last year in high school speech. Placing seventh in dramatic interpretation, she was hoping to place higher, but when the scores were announced, she also felt relief.

“I was mad at myself, but I also felt a weight lift off my shoulders,” Zollman said. “All the early practices and depressing movie nights were officially over. As fun as it was, I was exhausted.”

Having reached the end of their season, the three of them have received a positive and congratulatory response from the community. Even Zollman’s friends, who are not involved in fine arts, will clap and call her “state participant” when she walks into a room.

While it is bittersweet for Zollman to say farewell to speech, she knows she has learned a lot from the experience she will be carrying with her in life.

“I’ve become confident in my ability to engage with an audience, and constantly being under pressure has shown me how much I can handle,” Zollman said. “If you forget your speech on the spot, you just have to improvise and act like you know what you’re doing. I think anyone can use that for just about anything.”

Polipnick and Middendorf are already planning to return to the speech team next year, both of them feeling very accomplished with how far they made it this go-round.

“It was the best season I have ever had,” Polipnick said. “We put an incredible amount of time into making it the best it could be, and I’d say it paid off. Yes, I will (be returning), no doubt about it.”

Middendorf agrees.

“We will be returning next year more prepared, ready with a new script we will continuously work on to take us even farther than we went this year,” he said.

Get Outside from front Beyond the many who have bought the fundraiser apparel, Seidel is grateful to community members who have volunteered to help.

“This has been the biggest undertaking that I have taken on since my business started, and I could not have done it without help,” Seidel said. “I appreciate everyone’s kind words and I couldn’t be more thankful to live in this amazing community.”

City council from front of both Nature Energy and the city.

“This is as new to us as anybody,” Stone said. “To have a workshop meeting with the council would work because that would educate us more on what’s actually going to happen.”

Councilmember Heidi Leach, one of the city’s Economic and Development Authority members who visited Nature Energy plants in Denmark, saw the council’s pursuit of more information on Nature Energy as a positive thing.

“I appreciate that the council is willing to keep moving forward with open ears and eyes and keep the ball rolling,” Leach said.

The city has set the Nature Energy public information meeting for 5:30 p.m., Monday, May 15.

Other city council news: – Approved the results of the city’s audit through CliftonLarsonAllen, which found the city to be in good financial health overall. Sauk Centre’s fund balances for 2022 were $1,643,597 for the general fund and $16,242,647 for all other governmental funds, up from 2021’s balances of $1,622,075 in the general fund and $14,838,540 in all other funds.

CliftonLarsonAllen noted two potential areas of weakness – a lack of segregation of duties and the overall internal controls of financial reporting – but these possible issues are normal for towns of Sauk Centre’s size.

– Due to changes in Feder-

option.

– Tabled awarding a quote for the city’s 2023 trail rehabilitation. The council discussed whether the project – originally planned for the Wobegon Trail spur and the paving of trails at Brown’s Park and East River Heights – should include the rehabilitation of the skate park and basketball court near Hickman Drive, or if the projects should be happening at all this year. The city will solicit further feedback from Sauk Centre Public Works director Ben Clink.

– Approved the resignation of Officer Eric Grabmeier from the Sauk Centre Police Department.

– The city previously appointed Bruce Berg as a Sinclair Lewis Campground manager, but Berg declined the position due to a change of plans. At their May 3 meeting, the council approved Fred Theis for the campground manager position.

– Accepted a contribution of $140.85 from the Men’s Card Playing Group for the Sauk Centre Senior Center.

I think it’s something we have to keep looking at.”

Stone has also been hearing from Sauk Centre residents who are wondering how the town could benefit from the installation of a biogas facility.

“We don’t have that crystal ball, and we don’t need something that’s going to come in and, 20 years later, be sitting empty,” Stone said. “It can happen with any business.”

With the informational meeting concluded, Nature Energy wants feedback from the city council on how they perceive the project, if they think there are any issues and if they require more information.

They are planning to begin their project as soon as possible; however, even if they are approved with no delays, the earliest time they could get permits would be in early fall of this year, with facility completion taking another two or three years beyond that point.

Future steps recommended to the council included holding another informational meeting for the general public, holding a workshop meeting for the council, getting a utility needs assessment from the Sauk Centre Public Utilities Commission, looking into potential annexation proceedings and holding a conditional use permit hearing at a Sauk Centre Planning Commission meeting. The council expressed their interest in undertaking all of these steps, particularly the council workshop, for the sake of maximum transparency

Sauk Centre is working on securing a purchase agreement for land almost entirely in the Sauk Centre Municipal Airport’s RPZ and its Airport Safety Zone A. The purchase price for the property is $360,000, and it is eligible for 90% funding from the FAA if acquired and possibly 5% from the Minnesota Department of Transportation. Relocation assistance funding that is also grant eligible will likely be included in the purchase.

Happy Mother’s Day, Kathy.

There, I’ve sent my well-wishes to both of my maternal parents at the same time.

Yes, my mother and my mother-in-law are both named Kathy, a factor that simultaneously simplifies and complicates my life. Even so, I am beyond grateful to have both of them with me – which is why I’m emUltra Sonnek barrassed to have gone through

by Ben Sonnek my nearly five years as a columnist without writing any Mother’s Day columns about them. I’d better get on that, and fast. After all, the McCabe mother is a Navy veteran, and the Sonnek mother controls my annual holiday lasagna. A dire fate threatens me if I neglect either of them.

In thinking about my mother, my mind goes to one of the dedication lines in “Cyberwood,” my book: “For Mom, for teaching me to write and write well.”

Mom was a journalist herself back in the day and is thusly one of the reasons I’m in the news industry myself. I imagine, then, she might have felt some disappointment when she chose to leave the workforce to raise and homeschool her four children, but she never complained about it. I don’t think she was holding back complaints either, even when we kids were being, shall we say, less than professional.

Our chaos seems to have grown on her, too. That’s the only way I can explain why she got multiple yappy dogs of questionable obedience once the nest was empty. Textbook Stockholm Syndrome right there, folks.

Anyway, there’s a host of other things I could say about her cooking, her writing, her expert mom-guilt, her teaching, her uncanny ability to never age, et cetera, but I’m here to write a column, not another book.

Therefore, I hope it’s testament enough to all of those things when you see how she can make a cynical guy like me say, on paper, in front of God and everybody: I love you, Mom. Happy Mother’s Day. As for my mother-in-law, I can honestly say the comedians’ ubiquitous mother-in-law jokes make less sense to me after my marriage than they did before. It has been a delight to be her favorite son-in-law these few years; granted, I was also her only son-in-law, and we now have Tim, whose moustache likely tips the scales in his favor. Well, no matter where I am in the ranking, I couldn’t have asked for a better family to have been adopted into.

That said, it’s not like I’m the authoritative expert on Kathy McCabe. That’s why I outsourced further comments to her seven children, and I’ve received responses from everyone except the eldest, Michael; I blame time constraints. In hindsight, maybe I shouldn’t have told them to “Leave a review of your mother,” but … oh well. Here goes: Jackie: Five stars. I was gifted this mother after being assured I’d be getting an exclusive experience, and boy did she deliver.

Highlights of this edition for me were the six siblings (“You don’t have to like them but you do have to love them”), eagle eye for papers and resumes, scathing honesty (“Are you going to a costume party?”) and unconditional love and support.

Like some other users, I found going through the teenage years to be rough with this model, but it’s probably mostly user error and first-gen learning curve.

Infancy and childhood all very solid; some core highlights include Girl Scout trips, the Bronx/Cape Cod levels and enthusiasm for early literacy. However, this mom is not all sunshine and rainbows but rather does not fail to challenge your weak areas, such as swimming and social skills. The bar is always high when it comes to faith, work ethic and leadership stats, which I think strongly drives offspring character development.

I’ve now had 30 years with my mom, and there’s no way I’d trade her in for another. Even if I wasn’t terrified of being on the receiving end of the Look of Scorn, there’s nobody else I know whose many accomplishments, talents and wisdoms I can shamelessly brag on to anyone who will listen, or hope to emulate myself someday. Love you lots, Mom. Theresa: Five stars. Not what I ordered but better.

Customer service is very responsive.

Maggie: Similar to the Ann Tobin (grandmother) model, but with a few distinct features: The Ann Tobin provides superior Thanksgiving gravy, but the Kathy McCabe can parallel park an armored vehicle/12-passenger van with ease. Both are excellent, and I would definitely order again.

Elizabeth: Going to be honest: I was skeptical about this whole “Mom as your best friend” thing from ages 13-17. But man, after those initial doubting teen years, she kills it. Still continues to surprise me with her versatility, support, love, jokes, advice, etc. – I could go on. Very easy to reach, quick to call/text/email back. Makes fantastic food. Only the highest quality head scratches. Great role model. Wish I could be half the person she is, and I’ll be alright in life. Be warned, she is capable of embarrassing mom moments.

Josie: 10 out of 10. Not just a product (person, whatever) but an investment. Would highly recommend.

Molly: Five stars. Makes good food and helps with homework. Warning: Product can combust.

Marty, family cat: Three stars. Feeds me but very scary and keeps trying to pet me. What’s up with that?

Humperdinck, other family cat: One star. Won’t let me eat her houseplants and claw up the furniture.

Ben: I love you too, Mom. Happy Mother’s Day.

Bernadette began her nursing career at St. Mary’s Hospital, where she met Dr. Mark Kim, the chief of anesthesia, whom she married in May of 1953 and began building a family of five children. Bernadette later returned to nursing at Fairview Hospital, (now M Health Fairview Southdale Hospital) where she worked nights in intensive care for 16 years. Her reputation resulted in frequent assignments to care for the most complex and medically demanding patients on her floor. ln 1974, she married Robert Fairchild and continued living in Edina until 1986, when she retired to Post Falls, ldaho.

While living in Post Falls, Bernadette developed a passion for quilting. Using the quilt tops she designed and sewed, her church group, St. George Quilts, created over 1,000 quilts that were donated to charities and underprivileged people in the United States and abroad.

She returned to Minnesota in

2015 to live in Sauk Centre, spending many hours with a book or word puzzles.

Survivors include her three daughters and one son; four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren; brothers and sisters, Sister Colette Toenies, OSF, of Little Falls, Donald (Virginia) Toenies of Sauk Centre, JoAnn (Bernard) Deters of Osakis, Ralph (Sharon) Toenies of Mora, Harvey (Betty) Toenies of Mora, and David (Shirley) Toenies of Mesa Arizona.

a veterinarian, but because this was not an option for many women in the 60s, she settled for cosmetology school. After completing her schooling, Janetta worked a variety of jobs, many of them involving managing resorts in the Osakis area. While at the local ballroom, Janetta met the love of her life, Freelyn Carl Wenzel Jr., and the two were married Aug. 30, 1965.

Together, the couple ran Freelyn’s family farm and raised their three sons: Erik, Karl and Bill. Janetta loved farm life, especially her horses and her dogs – both the big and little ones. When the couple were ready to retire, they passed the family farm onto their grandson and moved to Parkers Prairie.

Janetta enjoyed many hobbies. She liked fishing, drawing and painting, gardening and watching the birds. She was also a skilled musician, playing the guitar, keyboard, piano, organ and the occasional accordion.

Before her mother’s passing, Janetta enjoyed going to local nursing homes with Gladys and playing for the elderly.

Janetta loved her mornings and the first cup of hot coffee, even though she would drink it all day, hot or not. In November 2022, Janetta moved to St. William’s Living Center in Parkers Prairie, shortly before the passing of her husband Freelyn. And, while Janetta’s health was declining, she passed away unexpectedly April 27, 2023, in Parkers Prairie; she was 80 years old.

Left to cherish Janetta’s memory are her sons, Erik of Henning, Karl (Susan) of Garfield and Bill (Melissa) of Long Prairie; 10 grandchildren; 9 greatgrandchildren; brother Gerald Stimson; as well as many beloved cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. She is preceded in death by her husband of 57 years, Freelyn Wenzel; her parents, Everett Stimson and Gladys and Elwood Grove; daughter-inlaw Colene Wenzel; grandson Ryan Richner; brother Wayne (Bernie) Stimson; sister Audrey (Harold) Douvier, sister-in-law Jackie Stimson; and nephew Ty Atterbury.

NEWS

Trailer for a Cause to benefit Pockets of Hope Felling Trailers will host its 11th annual Trailer for a Cause online auction of an FT-3 utility trailer to benefit a nonprofit organization. Their goal is to bring awareness to various nonprofits by donating 100% of the winning bid from the auction to a different nonprofit each year, and they have selected Pockets of Hope as the 2023 Trailer for a Cause auction beneficiary.

Located in Sartell, Pockets of Hope was founded in 2014 by Lisa Schroers, Briana Sjodin and Jennifer Bruzek. The nonprofit organization gives children entering foster care backpacks filled with items they need and items they can call their own. Each backpack holds an average of twenty items that vary depending on a child’s age and gender.

Pockets of Hope provides backpacks for children from birth to 21 years old, including items such as shampoo, toothpaste, pajamas, socks, a blanket, a toy or a notebook to provide for their basic needs and, hopefully, some emotional comfort.

“Many times, children are placed in foster care quickly,” Bruzek said. “The backpacks provide the children with something to start with, to hold onto, until the foster family can go and purchase other needed items.”

Since Pockets of Hope’s beginning in 2014, it has distributed backpacks to 2,420 children through county social workers and the Central Minnesota Child Advocacy Center. On average, the Pockets of Hope team puts together and distributes 30-50 backpacks

a month to wherever the need is; they primarily go to Stearns County residents but are also sent to whoever requests them, resources permitting.

A late Summer 2023 auction is being planned for Trailer for a Cause. Leading up to the auction, Felling Trailers will work with Pockets of Hope to generate awareness about their work, the children they serve, and the hope and security these backpacks provide to children entering foster care. Every day, children are rescued from abuse, neglect and abandonment; these children are confused, scared and desperate for security and comfort after being separated from family, home and possessions. Children frequently enter foster care with nothing.

“Every child should feel loved and cared about,” said Brenda Jennissen, President and CEO of Felling Trailers. “Pockets of Hope’s mission fulfills basic needs while giving children hope for better todays and tomorrows. I admire these women’s initiative, applaud them for the impact they’ve made on thousands of children and am excited to raise awareness of and funds for their organization.”

The previous Trailer for a Cause auctions have raised nearly $40,000 for nonprofit organizations including Special Olympics Minnesota, Lymphoma Research Foundation, Minnesota Fire Fighters Foundation and Eagle’s Healing Nest.

CRIME & SAFETY Carlos man arrested in Sauk Centre for transporting meth

SAUK CENTRE – A Carlos man has been arrested for transporting methamphetamine.

Timothy Charles Tatro, 43, of Carlos, is charged with one felony count of possessing 50 grams or more of cocaine or methamphetamine in the first degree. The charge carries a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison and a $1,000,000 fine. His next court appearance will be at 8:45 a.m., May 31, at the Stearns County Courthouse in St. Cloud.

According to a criminal complaint filed in Stearns County District Court, around 10:56 p.m., May 2, Sauk Centre Police Department Sergeant Joe Jensen was parked near mile marker 127 on the Interstate 94 median in his squad car when he observed a vehicle traveling above the posted speed limit. In pursuit of the vehicle, Jensen noticed it did not have a front or rear license plate.

The vehicle exited the interstate and headed toward Sauk Centre, where Jensen stopped it in a parking lot on the 1400 block of Main Street. Jensen approached the vehicle and identified the driver as Tatro, also noticing a female

passenger. In speaking with Tatro, Jensen noticed signs of possible impairment. Jensen had Tatro perform field sobriety tests, revealing signs of stimulant use. Jensen also observed white and yellowish ulcers on Tatro’s tongue, consistent with the use of a glass pipe to inhale controlled substances.

Avon Police Department Officer Landon Gudim arrived on scene and deployed his narcotic-detecting canine unit on the vehicle. The canine indicated the presence of narcotics, and, in a search of the vehicle, conducted by law enforcement uncovered a black plastic box near the battery under the vehicle’s hood. The box contained two bags of a substance the officers believed was methamphetamine, one bag weighing 87.5 grams and the other weighing 74 grams. Law enforcement also located a black cloth bag attached to the inside of the vehicle’s front fender, containing a plastic bag containing a substance the officers suspected was methamphetamine. The plastic bag and the substance it contained weighed 240 grams.

Jensen placed Tatro under an arrest, and in a Mirandized interview, Tatro admitted he was transporting methamphetamine in exchange for $1,000.

The Elrosa Saints prevented being no-hit and earned a win with an eighth-inning rally in their 3-2 win over the Richmond Royals May 7 in Richmond.

The Saints had chances prior to that inning, but never delivered a run-producing hit. Even with walks to Gavin Kampsen, Kevin Kuefler and Brandon Roelike and three Richmond errors, no Saint reached third base for the first seven innings.

Keeping Elrosa in the game was the pitching of Ethan Vogt and Wyatt Steffensen. Vogt started and worked the first five innings. He left the mound trailing 1-0 on four hits and two walks.

He had eight strikeouts.

Steffensen was equally as effective, giving up one run on three hits with three walks. Richmond’s Dalton Thelen scored both runs, giving the Royals a 2-0 lead going into the eighth inning.

At that point, the Saints had not found a way to hit either Richmond’s DJ Schleicher or relieve Luke Jokela. It changed in the eighth as Richmond brought Talen Braegelman to the mound.

Leadoff batter Kuefler started the frame with a single to end the no-hitter. Matt Schmitz walked, but the following batter popped out.

Kampsen then stepped up and delivered an RBI single, scoring Kuefler and placing runners at the corners. Vogt’s single scored Schmitz to tie the game and Kampsen moved to third.

Before the side was retired, Kampsen came home on a passed ball for a 3-2 lead.

Richmond got a runner to third with one out in its half of the PHOTO BY EVAN MICHEALSON eighth, but Steffensen struck out two, preventing a run.

Sauk Centre to compete at conference meet May 16

BY EVAN MICHEALSON STAFF WRITER

The Sauk Centre Streeters girls track and field squad gained valuable experience before the Section 6A True Team Meet, using several standout performances to snag seventh place out of 13 teams at the New London-Spicer Invitational May 4 at New London-Spicer High School in New London.

“The team is getting better and they’re starting to get that attitude that they know they can be competitive,” said Jim Metcalf, coach.

The heroes of the day for Sauk Centre came from individual and relay events alike. The 4x400 relay team of Mackenzie Ritter, Olivia Marsh, Stella Schirmers and Pyper Vogt placed third with a solid time of 4 minutes and 31.12 seconds, tied for the highest finish for the Streeters alongside Alicia Jennissen’s 33-5 attempt in the shot put. It was Vogt’s 4x400 debut.

Schirmers also recorded a sixth-place finish in the 400-meter dash with a personal-record time of 1:06.13.

“She brings in a winning attitude with her,” Metcalf said. “I’m really happy with what Stella and that 4x400 relay has done.”

Many other Streeters landed in the top 10 in their respective events, including a fifth-place showing from the 4x800 grouping of Julia Wehrman, Marsh, Alivia Nathe and Francesca Rivers; sixthplace spots from Nya Thieschafer in the long jump and the 4x200 squad of Ritter, Nya

Thieschafer, Nina Thieschafer and Vogt; and seventh-place results from Marsh in the 800 and Rivers in the 1600.

Success was far from guaranteed facing off against several programs who the Streeters have not yet seen this season.

“When we saw the teams at New London-Spicer, we were like, ‘Okay, we don’t know how good these teams are,’” Metcalf said. “It’s fun to compete with teams we haven’t seen yet.”

Sauk Centre earned 30 points as a team as Eden Valley-Watkins/Kimball ran away with the team title at 158.5.

The Streeters will take part in the West Central Conference Meet at 4 p.m. Tuesday, May 16, at Montevideo High School in Montevideo.

30 YEARS AGO The Sauk Centre Streeters baseball team defeated the Cathedral Crusaders 6-0 to improve to 2-0. Ben Dirkes hurled a five-hit shutout for the Streeters, who jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning and never looked back.

Quote of the week Sauk Centre junior softball player Lanna Walter on reaching 100 career hits: “It means a lot to be only the third Streeter to reach 100 hits. I never would have thought I would get this far in my softball career. It’s very rewarding to see my hard work pay off.”

When the next opportunity arises, there’s no time to wait.
