T.J. Schiltz found himself in familiar territory, with a gold medal hanging around his neck.
For Raece Johnson, it was uncharted terrain.
Schiltz, NRHEG’s distance running standout, was no surprise to win the 3200 meters in the Sub-Section 5A meet at New Richland Tuesday, May 21.
The surprise came when Johnson, also a junior, did the same thing, clocking a career-best 54.14 seconds to win the 400.
They’re two of four Panther boys to advance to section, joining Keith Maxon and Nick Goette.

The old adage, “It’s tough to beat a good team three times in one season,” rang all too true for the NRHEG High School softball team.
The Panthers, who defeated Bethlehem Academy twice by one run in the regular season, saw their season end abruptly with a 5-4 loss to the Cardinals in the opening round of sub-section play Tuesday, May 21 at New Richland’s Legion Field.
“We knew this was going to be a close game,” said NRHEG coach Wendy Schultz.
And it was. The line score for both teams was nearly identical except for the one that counts most: the final score.
