Vikings look to betop contendersagain this year

by Marty SeegerLeader staff writer

FREDERIC – Frederic’s Ken Be-langer is in his 46th year of coachingfootball and is in his 11th season as aFrederic Viking. He’s no doubt seenjust about everytype of teamimaginable, butsays this year’sVikings team isn’ta real vocal team.Perhaps they’resaving their en-ergy for the regu-lar season, butBelanger says hiskids are still en-thusiastic.With a scrim-

mage already in the books, Belangersaid he wasn’t exactly pleased withhow things went. He said they have a

solid run-defense, werea bit wobbly on their pass defense anddidn’t execute well offensively.“We’ve definitely made some adjust-

ments,” Belanger said, noting that afew didn’t play, and only two playersat the scrimmage were at the same po-sitions they played last season.At leastfive positions on offense, and six ondefense, had changed back to their oldpositions prior to their first game ofthe season against Northwood/SolonSprings.“We now know exactly what direc-

tion we’re going in,” Belanger said.The Vikings have some size on their

line this year with Chris Hopp, BryceWilliamson, Dayton Rivera and Ryan

Wylie, and Blaine Clemons at center.Along with size, the Vikings have a lit-tle speed despite losing Tony Petersonand BenAckerley to graduation. Peter-son rushed for 1,545 yards last season,and Ackerley passed for over 900yards and was the team's second lead-ing rusher.Waylon Buck is stepping in at quar-

terback, this season, but was the Vikesleading receiver last year, leaving a bitof a void at the receiver core. None ofthem have caught a varsity ball yet,but that will soon change as Buck is agood passer and quick out of thepocket.“Buck is quick at quarterback and

he’s looking good. He’s done a nice

job,” Belanger said.Along with a good line, and even

despite the loss of two offensive pow-ers, Belanger still expects to have asolid running game and run-defense.Alongwith Buck,AdamChenal at full-back, and even a 5’ 10”freshman named PeterChenal, it could be a lotof fun to watch thisVikings team progress.“I think we’ve got

some really good play-ers,” Belanger said.

Although their pre-season scrimmagedidn't go that well,the Vikings seasonopener against asolid Northwood-Solon Springs teamproves the Vikingsare ready for actionin their next eightregular seasongames. – Photo byMarty Seeger

Pirates hope toride the O-line tosuccess this season


GRANTSBURG – If the Pirates of-fensive line stays healthy, you couldsee big things from their running gamethis fall. It will beinteresting to seewho replaces1,000-yard rusherDerek Bertlesen,and the speedyKyle Johnson,who were a bigpart of the Piratesoffense beforegraduation tookthem away.“I think we’ll

be big up frontfor sure. It’s a matter of finding run-ning backs to hit the holes, and I think

we’ll open some things up front,” saidcoach Keith Lehne, who is in his 14thseason with the Pirates.The core of the Pirates O-line, with

an average weight of 227 pounds, in-cludes seniors Damien Rasmussen,Seth Coy, David Ohnstad and AndyJones and junior Colton Tretszven. Forthe past 10 years, the responsibility ofthe Pirates line has fallen on coach JoshWatt, who has molded these particularlinemen from the ground up.“I think he’s done a tremendous job

with those guys,” Lehne said.Along with quarterback Daniel

Larsen, who filled in nicely last seasonwhen BrentMyers went downwith in-jury, the Pirates will be going with a

different look on defense under sec-ond-year defensive coordinator, AdamHale. The team actually gained asafety on defense this season with sen-ior Thomas Labatt, who is 6’ 3’’, 200pounds, and played as a freshman. Butit looks as though this team is beingbuilt on its offense.“I think with this big offensive line

that we do have, there’ll be some op-portunities to run some differentthings,” Lehne said, and he hopes histeam can build on last year's firstround playoff win.“I think last year was a big turn-

around for us, and it was good to getback into the playoffs and kind of resetthat tone of expectation. Hopefully we

can play well in our conference and gofrom there,” said Lehne.Although it's tough for any coach to

speculate who’s going to come out ontop in the end, Lehne said Cameron isa real contender for theconference title. Butdon’t count out the Pi-rates.“I’m hopeful that we

stay healthy and ourkids play well, and Ihope we’re right in thatmix when we comedown to the end,” saidLehne.

The Pirates foot-ball team will hopeto combine a stellaroffensive line with aquality backfieldthis season. Oncethose two elementsmesh, Grantsburgcould be a very dan-gerous team. They'llalso have a solid de-fense this year, as itshowed during a 7-6loss in Spooner intheir first game ofthe season. – Photoby Larry Samson

Luck Cardinalshave depth and

speed this seasonby Marty SeegerLeader staff writer

LUCK – The Luck Cardinals earneda playoff berthlast season aftermoving from theLarge Lakelandand into theSmall Lakeland.It was a classicyear of footballlast season as theCardinals re-newed their ri-valry withFrederic, and thetwo teams metfor the first time in 17 years. That con-test ended in a 20-17 win for theVikings, despite a 17-0 halftime leadfor Luck.The two teams won’t be seeing each

other this fall until the second-to-lastgame of the season, in early October,and it could turn out to be a confer-ence title game. There’s a lot of com-

petition in the SmallLakeland this year andmany coaches are look-ing at Frederic, North-wood-Solon Springs andShell Lake to be top con-tenders. But that’s not tosay Luck won’t be rightin the mix.Coach Don Kendzior,

in his ninth season as a

head coach for the Cards, has ninewinning seasons, and four conferencechampionships to boot, includingeight playoff appearances. Overall,Kendzior says this year’s team hassize and depth, as well as overall teamspeed andwork ethic, which is a goodstart for any high school football team.There are at least 10 returning play-

ers who saw considerable action lastseason including Evan Armour, BenKufalk, Cole Engstrand, Hunter Wil-son, Brodie Kunze Karsten PetersenJoe Christenson, Jacob LaDuke, JohnDenny and Kyle Hunter. Just three ofthose players are seniors on a rosterwith a dozen juniors and about thesame number of sophomores andfreshmen.Kendzior said the Cardinals will

look to finish in the top half of the con-ference, and it also appears early onthat Luck High School is going to con-tinue a strong tradition of football.

The Cardinals football team is set to take on the Small Lakeland Con-ference with speed and depth. They not only looked exceptional duringtheir scrimmage, the Cardinals pulled away with a huge 73-22 win overBirchwood in their first game of the season. – Photo by Larry Samson

ST. CROIX FALLS – Now in his fifthyear as St. Croix Falls head footballcoach, Rod Sempf has a lot of praisefor his latest crew.“They really

have a sort oflunch-pail men-tality” he said.“They workhard on and offthe field. I don’thave to give ‘emmuch of a gid-dyup. They justwork hard.”While he said

there won’t be a lot of new schemes forthe Saints, he does see some of theplayers moving into new positions,which could surprise some of the theirpast opponents.As for the returning Saints, Sempf

has several three-year starters, includ-ing Erik Segelstrom, Erik Swensonand Jake Rademacher. “Obviously,we’ll look to them to lead the team,”he said, also noting Ben Clausen in thesecondary, and improved play at theline.“I really look to a bunch of guys con-

tributing this season,” he said. “We’regoing to be really diversified on of-fense.”Last season, the Saints had three

backs with around or over 700-yardsrushing, which Sempf said would be alikely scenario again for 2011. “We’vegot a lot of guys who can carry theball. Just a lot of skilled guys, and allwilling to work.”The Saints start the season with

plenty of hard opponents, includingOsceola, Ladysmith and Cameron, al-though Sempf thinks the Lakelandwill be strong across the board, and heexpects some solid, close competitionall season long.“I don’t think there’s one dominant

group this year,” he said. “I reallythink everyone should be able to com-pete. Unity’s got a lot of guys back andgood athletes. Webster, also. I think it’shard to pick. I don’t know, I wouldn’tbe surprised if any of the teams winconference.”Sempf has high praise for his coach-

ing staff this season, with GrantBelisle, Paul Gilbert, Rob Bullard, anda new coach in Chris Wallace, as wellas lots of helpers and volunteers alongthe way.“We’re looking forward to having

a great year. Working with parents,fans and having a good season for St.Croix Falls,” he said. “It’s a goodgroup of guys. They’ve really raisedthe bar for expectations.”

SIREN – The Dragons are eyeing anopportunity tojoin other smallschools duringthe 2012 seasonin eight-manfootball, but willbe taking 11 ath-letes to the grid-iron in 2011.While the team isshort a bit onnumbers due toa few nagginginjuries, theDragons should surprise a few thisseason with some talented athletes.Second-year Siren coach Bill Hoeflerwas excited during the team's firstweek of practice leading up to theirfirst scrimmage of the season, and the

team does possess afew threats. Whenasked what he’smost excited for thisseason, Hoeflersaid,“The versatility of

my players to playmultiple positions,and we have somegood speed at im-portant positions.”Leading receiver

Andrew Brown will be a deep threatthis season for the Dragons and wasan All-Conference selection last year,and behind the arm of Elijah Hinze,the Dragons will almost certainly havea few tricks up their sleeves to get theball into the end zone. Other key re-turning players from last season in-clude Evan Oachs, Isaac Wegner,Murdock Smith, Will Haines and ShayJohnson. Hoefler said the eight seniorplayers will be the biggest strengths ofthe team this season, but at least five

other starters are underclassmen, whohave limited varsity experience.There’s a lot to build on from last

season’s team, who finished 3-6, andHoefler thinks the conference is rela-tively balanced this year.“We, as a team, hope to improve on

last year's record and bemore compet-itive in all games we play,” Hoeflersaid.

BALSAM LAKE – The Unity Eaglesfootball squad has a solid returningcorps of talent this season, and theymay be looking a little different thisseason, as they have spent lots of timecond i t i on i ngand utilizing theweight roomand exercise fa-cilities, accord-ing to headcoach Dave An-derson.Now in his

fifth year as thelead man, with11 years of Eagle

football coaching involvement, he isconfident this is a team to be proud ofand rally behind.“We have great team chemistry this

year,” he said, noting that while theyhave plenty of new players to fill theshoes of some talented graduationlosses, they all have worked very hardto make the school, team and fansproud.Anderson was a familiar face this

summer at various village boards.He's promoting a plan to bring theUnity Eagle homecoming celebrationback into Milltown, Centuria and Bal-sam Lake with parades, events and aswelling of pride in a celebrated ath-letic program, hoping to spread thatred, white and blue Eagle spirit acrossthe district.And you can expect the gridiron on

Richard O. Klatt Field to be where thatEagle pride will shine.“Our offense, defense and special

teams are all new this year,”Andersonsaid, without giving too much away.He knows they have numerous hur-

dles to overcome in the Large Lake-land Conference, which is loadedwithtalented squads. “St. Croix Falls andGrantsburg are always big games forus,” he said.Anderson is confident in the dedica-

tion to their cause of his players, espe-cially the veterans.“All of our seniors will play a big

part for our team this year,” he said.“Most have had one or two years ofstarting experience.”He thinks that aforementioned con-

ditioning will only add to their confi-dence come game time. “The amountof time that our players put into theweight room over the summer is a bigstrength,” Anderson said. “Teamsshould not overlook Unity in theLarge Lakeland this year.”Although they might have a hard

time looking over them.

There's a lot of team chemistry on the Unity Eagles football team,which should carry through to a successful year of football. – Photocourtesy of the Barron Newsshield

WEBSTER – The Webster Tigers fellshort of the playoffs last year and wonjust three games, but their final gameof the season against Unity showedhow the team came together at theright time, andheld on in aclose 31-23 vic-tory.“Our kids

played their bestgame of the sea-son, and it was awonderful wayto to end the2010 season,”said coachJeromie Voeltzafter the win. He later added that it was a big win

for his senior squad, who has sincegraduated, but nine new seniors willlook to lead the team to victory thisfall, and their leadership on the fieldat the start of the season could set awinning tone throughout the year.“We are excited about the possibili-

ties of our football team,” Voeltz said.Seniors Randy Rankin, Taylor Heinz

Aaron Clay,Austin Bork, Brad Krause,Josh Baer, Ben Leef, Anthony Diet-meier and Garrett Eichmanwill be theforces keeping the Tigers together thisseason, as the roster boasts just threejuniors, 17 sophomores and a dozen

freshmen.While it could be a lean yearfor the Tigers, don’t expect them to bean easy out. Voeltz said there will be asome new faces in different positions,but the teams success will ultimatelyrest on the shoulders of the entireteam. On the team's biggest strengththis season, Voeltz said, “Our willing-ness to work hard and together.”The Tigers opened up their regular

season with a home game againstWashburn on Friday, Aug. 19, and thegame story and photos of that gamecan be found in the Wednesday, Aug.24, edition of the Inter-County Leader.

FREDERIC – The Fredericvolleyball team finishedwith just one conferencewin last season in whatturned out to be a verytough conference,but there’s a senseof optimism thisseason, as manyof their returningstarters are back,with a little moreexperience. “I have four

strong seniors thatall played varsitylast year,” saidcoach StaciLemieux, addingthat two of those seniors,Corissa Schmidt and MariahMiller, have played sincetheir freshman year. “I thinkour experience will defi-nitely help,” she added.Along with the talented

seniors, which also includeLauren Domagala and Au-tumn Schmidt, the Vikingsare an aggressive team, andnot afraid to go after the ballor crash the court on de-fense. In the setters role, Do-magala, and AutumnSchmidt, who has been oneof the team's setters for theprevious two years, should

g i v et h e i rhittersan ad-v a n -t a g e .A n -o t h e ra d -v a n -t a g efor the

Vikings is their height,which only adds another di-mension to a promisingteam.Frederic did lose some tal-

ented athletes to graduationlast season, but it already

seems that they’vebeen able to fill thevoid. There’s alsoan up-and-comingfreshman that fansshould keep aneye on, as MyaRivera will bemaking her var-sity debut this sea-son. About the only

thing workingagainst the

Vikings this year is depth,and beyond that, Lemieuxreally didn’t see anotherweakness, as the season isset to go full swing verysoon.“I’m definitely excited for

GRANTSBURG– The Grantsburgvolleyball team isin good handsafter coach BillMorrin decided totake a leave of ab-sence this fall,mostly to help hisdaughter Kortneystart her collegiatevolleyball career,and focus on otherprofessional goals. The 2011 coach, Deb Alla-

man-Johnson, has sincetaken the reins but is nostranger to the program, asshe’s coached volleyball for22 years, including 16 yearsin Grantsburg. She knows

the system well, and is morethan ready for the upcom-

ing season.“I am looking

forward to work-ing with a pack ofkids who are ath-letic, eager, posi-tive andhardworking ,”Allaman-Johnsonsaid.Along with Al-

laman-Johnson isa new assistantcoach, Nell

Polzine, a former Pirate vol-leyball player who helpedGrantsburg earn their firststate championship in 2001.Both coaches were collegiatevolleyball players and ex-celled at that level.

The Pirates lost afew threats to gradua-tion last season, but ofthe 40-plus athletesout for volleyball thisyear, 13 are on thevarsity. Two of those13, include seniorsCarly Larson and GabWitzany, who Alla-man-Johnson sayscould play anywhereon the court. NikkiTicknor along withthe two seniors arecaptains this seasonand are expected tobring experience andleadership to theteam.“They bring posi-

tive energy, naturaltalent, and a solidwork ethic to thecourt,” Allaman-John-son said.Along with

strengths come weak-nesses, and the Pirateswill have quite a fewfresh faces on theteam, which brings abit of inexperience atthe varsity level. Theteam lost a bit of height, butthere’s no doubt Grantsburgwill be in the hunt for theconference title.Nikki Ticknor

ST. CROIX FALLS – TheSt. Croix Falls Saints volley-ball are contenders,friends and solid as ateam, “I think this isa great group. Theywork hard, there areno attitudes, andeveryone supportseach other in allways. I believe thatthis group should doquite well this sea-son,” stated third-year returning headcoach Stacie Hoff. “Ihave four starters returning,so hopefully they can staypositive and I believe theywill do well.”The Saints have plenty of

new faces this season, whichmakes this season a bit of asurprise for fans and oppo-nents. “I have a very young

group this season,” Hoffsaid. “I only have four jun-iors and four seniors.Twenty of the girls are un-derclassman. That is reallypromising for the future!”Like all Lakeland coaches,

Hoff faces the Grantsburgjuggernaut, and sees themas a key opponent: “Yeah,obviously Grantsburg is

tough,” she said. “But nowthat we are back to threeconferences, I believe thatLuck is really going to be

LUCK – This promises tobe an interesting season forthe Cardinal volleyball pro-gram. It might seem like adifferent approach undernew skipper JenNelson. She wasthe former assis-tant coach, andhas almost adecade of JuniorOlympic coach-ing under her belt- many of thoseyears with someof this season’splayers.“This team has

an amazing pas-sion and commitment to thegame,” Nelson said. “Theyplay with passion and pur-pose, and aren’t afraid toleave some skin on thefloor.”The Cards are pulling up

and across from all grades,focusing on positions andexperience, while also ac-knowledging their youth.“Graduation claimed a fewbut our core key playersfrom last year remain intactand ready to play,” Nelsonsaid. Playing in the formidable

West Lakeland means thereare no mediocre opponents,and the new format meansthey play all of them twice,so every match counts.While some coaches mayfeel overwhelmed in a con-

ference so rich intalent, Nelsonlooks at it the otherway, stating theywere “fortunate tobe among so manyquality teams ...which will help usprepare for region-als. The season istoo short!” In spite of its ab-

breviated length,she said they are

looking forward to an excit-ing season and that she isamazed at the parental and

community support for theteam and program. “This year’s team brings a

higher level of game experi-ence to the court,” she said.“Many of the girls spent agreat deal of time improv-ing in the off-season. Theyhave a real commitment tothe team.” Expect to see the Cards

make some waves and takesome names along the way,as they go by the philoso-phy of “Citius, Altius, For-tius!” Swifter, higher, stronger.

SIREN – The Dragons vol-leyball team is actually quiteexperienced this seasonunder third-yearcoach Caryn Stan-ford, but the teamis still young. Thatdoesn’t meanSiren should beoverlooked, how-ever, as many ofthese girls havebeen workinghard over thesummer, andStanford can al-ready see the teamimprovements.“We’re having a good pre-

season,” said Stanford. “Alot of young girls are com-ing up and playingvery well. We have alot of experience com-

ing back, but it's young ex-perience.”The team's enthusiasm is

obvious, and even thoughthe team might have lost a

bit of senior lead-ership from lastseason, it hasn’tshowed.“We lost some

senior leadership,but actually theyounger girls thatare coming up arefilling in that spotnicely,” Stanfordsaid.Siren had a bit

of a rough yearlast season, pulling awaywith just three conferencewins, but with many of thegirls back again, with more

experience, Stan-ford feels that theteam is moving an-other step forwardin their efforts to bemore competitivein the conferencestandings. It alsohelps having atight-knit groupthat works well as ateam. “This group.

What’s unique isthat they have avery cohesive feelto them, and theyall seem to beworking well to-gether,” Stanfordsaid.The Dragons did

lose a bit of heightfrom last season,but Stanford is con-fident they’ll beable to counteractthat with the team'senthusiasm, andwillingness to com-pete.

BALSAM LAKE – TheUnity Eagles volleyballsquad may only have a fewupperclassmen this season,but they are deep in talent inother grades, and third-yearreturning head coach ChrisLesneski is confident histeam will make somewaves.“I really am excited about

a solid core group of athletesback that have gotten somegood varsity experienceover their careers,” Lesneskisaid. “They’re willing towork hard and make adjust-ments to what isneeded.”While the Eagles

have just BrittanyThomfohrda astheir lone senior,they have a wealthof court experienceotherwise, withLesneski notinghow all but three ofhis varsity squadplayed volleyball onclub squads or inJunior Olympic programsthis year.“It’s a night and day dif-

ference,” he said. “It reallyhelped them out.”

The Eagles arematched againstsome of the mosttalented squadsin the region,and he said theyare hoping tomake every con-test count. “There is

never a nightwhen you can’tsay that we

don’t have to play well inour conference,” he said. “Ifyou don’t, you probably willget beat.” With over two decades of

volleyball coaching under

his belt, Lesneski is not one to throw around predic-tions, but he’s pretty surethat if his Eagles stayhealthy and hungry, theywill match up well witheveryone this season.“It’s hard to predict,” he

said. “But we will play hardagainst everyone on ourschedule.” Lesneski said the future is

also bright for the program,with a strong group ofyoung players coming upand good assistant coachesin Jennifer DeLozier (JV)and Cola Hickethier (C-squad).

“We’ll just keep buildingon the things we’ve beenworking on since I tookover,” he said.

UNITY/LUCK TENNISSquad hopes to

build on past successand camaraderie this

seasonby Greg MarstenLeader staff writer

BALSAM LAKE – The Unity/Luckcooperative tennis squad is hoping tomake this a memorable season. Withthree years under her belt, veteran headcoach Beth Fogarty also has a stronggroup across the board, and a solid sup-port staff in Tom and Jane Hoffman andveteran Unity tennis star Jessi Kutina. While her coaching staff is rich in tal-

ent and experience, Fogarty’s players aredefinitely a strength, as she noticed earlyon.

“I am excited to see the growing cama-raderie that the girls have shown al-ready this year,” Fogarty said. “We alsohave a lot of new players that haveproven their potential to the varsityteam this summer. I’m excited to seehow our new doubles teams work outtogether, as well as a strong singles lineup ready to take charge.” She thinks every school in the formi-

dable Middle Border Conference is a keyopponent. “We need to treat everymatch as the most important in order tobe competitive in our conference,” shesaid.The Unity/Luck squad has several

strong returning singles players in re-turning this year in Anna Ebensperger,Julie Franzel and Elizabeth Thuerkoff. “They have been giving each other a

run for their money already this seasonwith challenge matches,” Fogarty said.

“They’re provingto be a highthreat this sea-son.”While the

squad lost somekey seniors, shehas confidence inher new faces.“Every year,we’ve lost ahandful of sen-iors. Every year

we have also gained athletes new to thegame,” She said. “The first few matchesare going to be key for our new team-mates to get the experience needed tohelp them later in the season.”

WEBSTER – The Tigersfinished tied for secondplace in the conference lastseason behindGrantsburg, losingjust two conferencegames. They even-tually ended theirseason in the sec-ond round of theplayoffs to the Pi-rates. The Tigers had

experience on theirside as they startedsix seniors on aregular basis, butthings have changed a bitthis fall, as the team will beworking with just two sen-iors, which include SarahNyberg and Chelsea Larson.Both players filled in nicelylast season, recorded lots oftime on the varsity court,and should provide a lot ofleadership for the team.There are a handful of otherathletes who filled in lastyear as well, and coachMindy Widiker is lookingforward to seeing howthey’ll compete.“We’re excited to get the

season started, see howwe’ll match up with every-

body, and see how muchthey’ve grown and im-proved over time,” Widikersaid.Losing a trove of starting

seniors can leavea team searchingfor replacements,but the newcom-ers, according toWidiker, areready to go.“We’re young,

but they’re eagerand athletic,which is nice,and they’re will-ing to work hardand learn. So I

think that’ll be one of theirstrengths,” Widiker said.It’ll be a different sched-

ule too, for the Tigers, andthe other Lakeland Westteams, which include Fred-eric, Grantsburg, Luck, St.Croix Falls, Siren, Unity andWebster. Instead of playingconference foes just oncelike they did last season,teams will play each othertwice. So it’s anyone’s guesswho will come out on topthis season, but Webstercould be right in the mix.

GRANTSBURG – There’s a significantnumber of bright spots on the Grantsburgcross-country team this season, not onlyfor the boys, but also for the girls. CoachPaul Huskamp, who is in his eighth yearof coaching, even seemed a bit surprisedto see that he has twice the number of ath-letes to work with this season, as opposedto last. He’s even still trying to recruit afew players, but fornow, he’s already got15 boys and ninegirls. That means,he’ll have a full teamfor both. The boys, inparticular, have thehighest expectations.“I am really look-

ing forward to it.Last year, weweren’t expected tobe at state at all andwe took eighth. Thisyear, we plan to improve greatly on that,”Huskamp said.The boys lost one member of last year's

state qualifying team to graduation, butthe rest are back, including seniors Kyle

Roberts, Zack Arnold, Brendan Kutzand Daniel Biorn. Sophomore JacobOhnstad will likely round out thetop five in this year’s boys team, butHuskamp said several other new-comers are eyeing the sixth and sev-enth spots that are allowed to go tostate and compete. Many of thestarting core logged several milesover the summer as well.“Everybody will be pushing

everybody. We have good cohe-sion,” Huskamp said, adding that a

big part of the Pirate boys success will liein their ability to run as a pack.For the girls, only two of the nine have

running experience, including senior Kae-lah Maslow and sophomore Jaden Cook,but they could be competing at an experi-enced level by the end of the season.

ST. CROIX FALLS – Saints cross-coun-try head coach Jennifer Clemins is back. “Iam happy to return as the head coachagain this year after being on maternity.” While some schools have struggled to

fill a roster, it’s just the opposite forClemins. “We have one of our biggestteams this year, with many new faces:Erica Bergmann, Taylor Orton, JordanJohnson and JoleenGravelle. It will be apleasure to watchthem develop as theseason progresses.”Clemins thinks her

boys team will makean impact. “I thinkwe have a solidchance to becomethe Lakelandchamps, and ad-vance a few individ-uals - Alex Frey,Rashaud Kelash, and Henry Klein - on tothe state championships.”Clemins often calls the team a family,

and plans to build on that approach withassistant coach Tammi Braund and volun-teer coach Ryan Stridde. “We plan to in-corporate strength training circuitworkouts, more training games - to helpkeep the art of running fun.”

Returning seniors Alex Frey andRashaud Kelash will be the driving forcefor the boys, and just missed state lastyear. “Both earned All-Conference honorslast season and should easily do so againthis year ... we are going to work hard tomake sure they both make it [to state] thisyear.”For the ladies, All-Conference junior

Allie Holmdahl returns, as well as Au-tumn Erickson, who just missed out onAll-Conference honors. “They all emanatea sense of sportsmanship and a competi-tive edge that makes coaching them apleasure.” One downside is that Clemins has six

male seniors. “I’ll have to recruit a greatdeal for next year to make up for this loss.But I’m excited to be working with suchan amazing and dedicated group of stu-dent athletes. It should be an unforget-table season!”

BALSAM LAKE – There are some newfaces on the Unity/Luck cross-countrysquad this year, as the cooperative pro-gram has moved to new heights underfourth-year head coach Lori Anderson. They have a solid contingency of senior

boys, while their girls are generallyyounger this season. But they also haveplenty to look forward to in a sport that isknown for having strong runners atyounger grade levels.“The start of a new year is something I

regularly look for-ward to," Andersonsaid. “Things arefresh and everyonestarts over with aclean slate.”That clean slate

also means the possi-bility of some sur-prises this season,and Anderson saidthe team workedhard in the off-sea-

son, although most distance runners

know there is no “off season.”“I appreciate the growth the athletes

exhibit from the previous season,” shesaid. “Of course, I also eagerly look for-ward to what the seniors will choose todo in their final year of this program.”Unity’s exceptional swimming pool is

back up and running more efficientlythan ever this season, and Anderson hasbeen stressing it as a wonderful trainingtool that few teams have as an option.“It will be exciting to spend some

workout sessions in the pool,” she said,noting that she was very involved in var-

ious clinics and training regimens to helpdevelop her runners the best ways possi-ble.“Additionally, I again attended the

WCCCA Convention in Milwaukee lastJanuary, so plan to implement some of thevaluable ideas obtained from the clinicduring the season,” she said.Anderson is not one to rule any oppo-

nent out, and thinks this season will beproof positive of that. “Every opponent iskey,” she said. “I believe all athletes are inthe sport to give it their best effort andcompete to their highest ability so we gointo each meet expecting peak perform-ances from all schools.”

still be competitivethis fall. Last seasonthe girls had onlyfour girls competing,but this year thereare several more.Emma Kelby and

Kally Schiller shouldhelp lead the teamand had great sea-sons last year, but aforeign exchangestudent from Nor-way, Roselinn Tak-vam, could fill that third spot along withjunior Molly Brown. There’s also MelissaGustavson, who has never run in crosscountry before, but is a talented sprinterin track. Senior Olivia Kopecky and a

handful of other girls will also add a lot ofdepth to a promising girls team.“The nice thing is that they’re all work-

ing hard and doing what they can,” saidTigers coach Jim Muus, who sees a shift inthe number of girls, to the number of boyscompeting, but the boys should still besolid with senior Joey Erickson leadingthe way. Erickson was never far behindTaylor last season and has made greatstrides to get even better over the summer.“He has gone to camps and is excited to

get going,” Muus said.Senior Cody Isaacson and junior Matt

Smith have also had success with theTigers but for many, it’s all new.“I would say that they’ll probably be

OK, but right now it's kind of a learningsituation. A few are freshmen and haven’t

run that far before. It’ll be a little interest-ing how that goes,” Muus said.

LUCK – The Luck/Unity cooperativegirls golf team has a few new faces thisseason, and they also are in a new con-ference, which might work to their ad-vantage thisseason.Veteran golf

coach Ron Steenhas a decade ofexperience tobuild on, and afew enthusiasticnew faces inLuck’s MeganBartylla andUnity’s SavannahSande.“These girls are

excited to playgolf and learn more about the game,”Steen said.The squad is now in the formidable

Heart of the North Conference, whichmeans lots of traveling and all new op-ponents, but also a chance to maybesurprise a few squads. Steen thinksHayward may be the team to beat this season, although they have many new

opponents, some of them quite faraway.“This should really be an interesting

year,” he said, alluding to last year’sconference Middle Border Conferencesquabbles where the squad and severalothers were kicked out of the MiddleBorder Conference. He said that theHON conference has been just the op-posite, and that the coaches “are very

open to let us in.” Watch for returning payers Avery

Steen, Tina Lennartson and Jena Allingto make their presence known, espe-cially junior Avery Steen, who is a two-time state qualifier and among the bestin the region.“Tina Lennartson has also shown

great improvement from last year,” hesaid. “All the girls work very hard toimprove their golf game, and enjoy

playing.While they only have five golfers on

the squad, the team is obviously hav-ing fun together and making everymatch count. “I enjoy working with thegirls and enjoy playing the game. Theywant to improve from every match andthroughout the year.”

ST. CROIX FALLS – For the first timeever, the St. Croix Falls girls golf teamwill have a coach who is not namedBenoy. New head coach Maria Gjovigis excited about the opportunity, butalso about the fresh group of players,who now have a home in the Heart ofthe North Conference.“We’re all new!” Gjovig exclaimed

with a smile. “I am very excited towatch them improve with each matchand to help build that passion for thegame.”The Saints have a fresh crop of young

talent this year, all of them freshmenexcept for junior Caitlyn Olson, whomoves from the volleyball court to thelinks. “We’re excited to have her,”Gjovig said. “Each girl has already im-proved their game by 10 strokes ormore. I look for this to continue as theseason goes on.” Being in the Heart of the North Con-

ference means some lengthy road trips.“From what I understand, Hayward isthe team to beat, along with Superior.Cumberland is a young team, but couldbe contenders in the next few years,”she said.

The squad may be young, but theyhave some solid athletes. “Our biggeststrengths this year will be our athleti-cism and our positive attitudes. But this

will be a building season with a highlearning curve for all of us.” That HON Conference also means

unfamiliar golf course. “Next year, our

girls will have a frame of reference toplay from ... to know where to try toplace the ball.
