Senior breaks record, wins three events in invitational

Apparently, nobody talked to Carlie Wagner about peaking too early in the track and field season. Perhaps nobody needed to.

The senior was in midseason — if not postseason — form at the NRHEG Invitational last Thursday, setting a school record and winning three events as the Panthers took second in their only home meet of the season.

“The girls did a fantastic job tonight,” said NRHEG coach Duey Ferber. “It was a total team effort.”

But Wagner was the standout.

It wasn’t exactly softball weather, but there’s a reason NRHEG girl athletes have a reputation for being tough.

They didn’t care.

The Panthers took care of business on a very chilly afternoon at Waterville May 15, blanking the Buccaneers 8-0.

Jade Schultz didn’t give the home team many scoring chances, allowing four hits while striking out 10 and walking one in the seven-inning shutout.

It looked as if the NRHEG baseball team would walk out of Blue Earth with a win Tuesday, April 15.

It slipped away in the late innings.

Leading 5-3, the Panthers committed a couple errors in the bottom of the fourth to allow the Buccaneers to score twice and tie it. The home team added a run in the fifth for a 6-5 decision.
