The NRHEG boys’ track and field team made the most of its regular-season only home outing of 2013.

The Panthers captured three firsts and finished third in their rescheduled invitational in New Richland Friday, May 10.

Junior T.J. Schiltz had a hand in all three NRHEG firsts.

He won the 3200 meters in 10:12.3 and ran a leg on two first-place relays. The 4x800 included Tyler Schultz, Karter Sletten and John Cole, clocking 9:01. Kiel Sletten, Karter Sletten and Raece Johnson joined Schiltz in the 4x200, which won in 1:40.5. For good measure, Schiltz added a third place in the high jump, clearing 5-6.

It wasn’t a stellar week for the NRHEG baseball team.

But it wasn’t bad.

The Panthers went 2-2 during the past week, defeating Medford 12-6 Monday, May 6 and Randolph 8-2 the next day. They went on to fall 10-0 to WEM on Thursday and 19-15 to Maple River at Legion Field Saturday.

Coach Jeff Reese’s Panthers are 3-5 in the Gopher Conference and 3-6 overall.


NRHEG 12, Medford 6

The Panthers started the week on the right foot, handling Medford at Legion Field.

With the return of much nicer weather, the NRHEG Clay Target team turned in some very strong scores.

Led by the season's first perfect 25/25 from Zach Eustice and a season-high 47/50 as well, the rest of the team turned in an average of 41/50 for the top shooters and a total team average of 36/50 in week three of the season.

The effort was enough to shave a point off of the second-place team from Woodbury. However, a stronger showing from the conference-leading team from Brainerd kept them in command of Conference 6A.
