It's not all that often that a NRHEG girls' track and field team finishes first in the NRHEG Invitational. That honor has, more often that not, gone to Albert Lea.
Not this year.
The NRHEG girls totaled 100 points, edging Albert Lea by eight, to capture the title Thursday, May 4. WEM totaled 83.5, Maple River 45.5, Mankato Loyola 44.

NRHEG High School softball coach Wendy Schultz unknowingly notched her 300th career victory Thursday night in New Richland when the Panthers defeated JWP 14-4 in six innings. Waiting to celebrate the milestone with her were former players, alumni, friends, family, players and fans.
“It's super special,” Schultz said. “I can't say thank you enough. It's so special that so many people come back to show their support. We have such a wonderful community and wonderful kids.”
Schultz, of course, had no idea she was about to earn her 300th victory.

NRHEG pitcher Sam Olson was nearly perfect against Waterville-Elysian-Morristown, tossing a no- hitter, allowing only two baserunners, one via error and another a walk in the final inning of a 14-0 win by the Panthers at home Tuesday, April 25.
“They told me in the fourth inning, and I was just like, ‘Don’t jinx it!’” Olson said after the game. “I just threw the ball. I didn’t really think about it. I just wanted to get strikes and get them out.”
