NRHEG track and field coach Duey Ferber was not complaining after Saturday’s Section 2A meet at Mankato West.

He wasn’t bragging either.

“It was kind of an up-and-down meet for us,” said the veteran coach. “We had some good times, and some not-so-good times.”

The good times continue for two Panthers, seniors Carlie Wagner and T.J. Schiltz, who advanced to yet another state meet.


NRHEG wins conference crown; Christenson, Bartz advance to state

The sport of high school clay target shooting is unique, and not just because the only "ball" is a bunch of BBs that are blasted at a flying clay disc.

Three years ago, when NRHEG last won the conference championship, there were only 29 teams with 700 athletes in the state. This year, NRHEG collected their second conference championship in their short four-year team history in a league with five classes, 185 teams and over 6,000 athletes.

It was one of five firsts for the Panthers. T.J. Schiltz won the 1600 and 3200, Schlaak won the 800, and Kevin Kalis won the discus. NRHEG was third among seven squads.
