Those of us here at the radio station lost a good friend over the weekend.
Claire Hague died on July 4th.
He was a longtime coach of track and field in cross-country and other sports at Richland
Center High School.
Claire and his wife Patti and their two daughters, Paulie and Abby, moved to Richland Center
in 1970.
Claire was a physical education teacher and coach for Richland School District and
retired from the district after a distinguished career.
He loved coaching track and field the most.
The 1983 season Richland Center girls track and field team won the WIA State Championship.
From putting down chalk at story field before meets to helping out in later years when
a new rubberized track was installed at Richland Center High School, Claire was always working
for the betterment of high school athletes.
He retired in the year 2000, but helped out with many track and cross-country teams.
I remember fondly his early morning visits to the WRCO studios.
The morning after a track meet, he would sit down to the table and with a highlight pen,
make note of all the top performers and personal best achievements by the individuals and
relay teams.
Claire would often point out an athlete that may not have been the top finisher, but would
point out how much they had improved during the season.
We will miss Claire and his enthusiasm for Richland Center High School.
There will be a visitation for Claire and Patty Hague in Richland Center to be scheduled
for later this summer.

The night tied the game at four when a run scored on an error in the bottom of the
10th.
Arena did not score in the top of the 11th.
In the bottom of the frame, Dodgeville loaded the bases with a drawn in infield.
The night's grand-highing had a base hit which scored the winning run.
Arena's Jimmy Jennings deserved a better fate on the day as he worked 10 innings.
Struck out nine gave up five hits and walked one.
Heath and Wickman pitched the 11th and suffered the loss.
Trenton Redell pitched seven innings for Dodgeville.
Ty Paul's kill worked three and Terran Bockup pitched the 11th to get the win.

away.
Brewer's right hander Brandon Woodruff pitched his team to a three one victory at Miami
Sunday.
It was Woodruff's first major league start in nearly 22 months.
He went six innings, allowing just two hits and one run striking out eight without a walk.
Milwaukee scored twice on Jackson, Cheerio's third inning home run.
Cheerio then played it an insurance run on the eighth with a sacrifice fly and outstanding
effort for Brandon Woodruff, his manager Pat Murphy.
No one could have expected six innings a two hit ball or whatever it was.
I mean, he was sensational.
He worries anybody had about this guy being able to pitch in his future, whatever.
I mean, wow, it was right on location stuff, everything just tells you a lot about who
the guy is.
And Brandon Woodruff talked about his comeback.
You can't replicate anything that you want to end the minor leagues to get you ready
for the big league.
You just can't.
And honestly, pitch wise, I've had a terrible change up this whole process and today it
was good.
You know, you just can't like, you need to get in this environment.
You need to get back out on that, I'm measuring my own and I take cares of everything.
Brandon Woodruff, well, next in line for the Brewers, a big game with the Dodgers tonight,
the Dodgers at 56 and 35 first in the National League West.
The Brewers 50 and 40 second in the National League Central.

consecutive losing season since they won the 2019 World Series.
The move came hours after a 6 4 loss in Washington on Sunday, completing a sweep by the Boston
Red Sox.
Another sports on the state scene, Brewer Ace Freddie Peralta will be the team's lone
representative for the July 15th Major League Baseball All-Star Game in Atlanta.
Manager Pat Murphy tells reporters, Peralta really deserves this one.
The hard thrower has a nine and two record with an ERA of 2.91 after 18 starts.
His four seam fastball is averaging a career best 95 miles an hour this season.
His previous All-Star spot came in the 2021 season, Peralta earns a bonus of $100,000
for making the team.
An NBA reporter has struck out a little off the mark a couple of times when it comes to
Damien Lillard, the beat writer for the Cleveland plain dealer newspaper reported that the team
wouldn't approve Lillard's request to return home to Portland, Oregon so he could be with
his family while recovering from his torn Achilles.
On Instagram post, Lillard says that is not so.
The team did approve his request.
He also posted that Milwaukee star Yanisante de Cumpo was not happy when Lillard was waived
ESPN reports Yanis was looped in on the decision to waive the star guard.
