Altrichter finishes atop conference

Last week was a tough and disappointing one for the NRHEG clay target squad.

Shooting in the final week of the fall season, the team saw some of their lowest scores posted. They only managed to put two scores in the top 10 for the week and only five scores above the 40 mark. At the same time, their only competition, Hermantown put together a phenomenal week scoring the most points of any team for the season.  The result was a 400-point swing between the teams which put the NRHEG squad solidly in second place.

The NRHEG volleyball team lost in the opening round of postseason play, falling 3-0 to Tri-City United last Thursday.

The home team won 25-20, 25-16, 25-13.

Panther statistics: Maddie Wagner 8 kills, 11 digs; Marnie Wagner 9 kills, 11 digs; Ryann. Hagen 6 kills, 3 digs, 3 ace blocks; Alyssa Esplan 12 digs; Anna Lundberg 20 assists, 4 digs; Rachel Collins 14 assists, 5 digs.

The Panthers end the season with a record of 9-16. They will graduate seniors Hagen, Esplan,  Anna Stork, Sam Pettey, Cassidy Sletten and Remi Wayne.

The NRHEG cross country team finished the 2014 season at the Section 2A meet at Blue Earth Thursday, Oct. 23.

The boys finished in a tie for 19th place with Medford, totaling 509 points. Martin County West won with 40 and Waseca was second at 51.

Things went about as expected for the boys, led by Tyler Schlaak in 66th place in 19:03.7. Following for NRHEG: Zach Mely, 92nd, 19:42.4; Josh Fleming, 109th, 20:16.1; Brenden McMann, 120th, 20:38.1; Ben Lewer, 122nd, 20:47.2; Aaron Seath, 137th, 23:42.
