field there at Prairie Dushin tonight. I talked to coach Michelle Lewis about the season so far
and some recent highlights. We have quite some success in pole vaults so
Devin Woodhouse, he's been taken gold and almost all of our meats and then same thing for
Danica Paul's. They're both doing great down in pole vault. We have lots of PRs being broken,
a few injuries but nothing too severe so hopefully some of them can come out of that.
Shinsblins, rolled ankles, stuff like that. The weather I guess sometimes is
factor but I guess you can't worry about that can you? No, I try not to. I tend to look at the
forecast but I mean rain of rain will run in rain if we have to. It's just if it's thunders
and lightning and stuff like that but we've only had one meat cancel then that was our very first
meat of the season so fingers crossed. I really have great numbers Michelle. You must have a
pretty good coaching staff to keep everybody on task and do what they're supposed to be doing right?
Yeah especially with this being my first year as head coach my coaching staff has been
absolutely amazing. I have one new coach Doug Stickle and he is just like what do you need me
to do? I'll do it so it's been great. They are so confident and comfortable and they're
workouts so I don't even have to worry about them which has been a great a huge blessing.
Tell me about the meat on Tuesday night. That'll be it's a mid season conference meat so we just
also had a mid season conference meat at home which went really well and then we kind of had a
big break in our meat schedule so pretty she is also doing a mid season meat so we thought might
as we'll go there and some feel conferences are competition. It's good to just see some of those
faces and race against them again. Riches on center track and field coach Michelle Lewis good luck
to the tracksters as they head out and about tonight to pre-reducing home talent baseball will
begin for some teams this weekend. Ridgeway at Dodgeville Saturday night at six o'clock the
Verona at Muscatay game originally scheduled for Sunday has been postponed to Saturday May 30th

Bryce Durang's two round home run of the ninth inning of the Monday six three brewer loss
made the final score look closer than it was. The Cardinals picked up the win.
Starter and loser Chad Patrick was knocked out in the fourth inning.
Outfielder Jackson Sherry will return to action with a four for four performance. That impressed his
manager. Fabulous effort. You know five great at bats. We just obviously didn't come up with a big
hit form. We battled. We hit some balls hard right at people. They had tremendous timely hitting.
We left 11-12 guys at May 12. 12 guys on base. Yeah that's that's not timely hitting.
Had Murphy says it's good to have Vaughan and Sherry O'Bach. There's a lot of good performances
today. It was good to see those guys back. I mean Vaughan had a couple a bees he'd like back but
he certainly wasn't his timing isn't perfect but you know like his last hit bat that's
you know we could have used that and drove in a run. Man on third or something but yeah
