It didn’t take long for T.J. Schiltz to reach midseason form.
In his first outdoor action of the season, the NRHEG junior and returning state entrant swept the distance events and competed strong in two other events as the Panthers competed in last Tuesday’s USC/AC Invitational at Wells.
Schiltz, who missed the Panthers’ outdoor opener because of a trip to Washington, D.C., won the 1600 meters in 4:42.17 and the 3200 in 10:10.5. He cleared 5-6 for third in the high jump and ran the anchor leg on the Panthers’ fifth-place 4x400 relay.
“T.J. is looking very strong right now,” said NRHEG coach Duey Ferber. “He had a nice meet in all four of his events.”

With longtime starting pitcher Jade Schultz sidelined for the season with knee injuries, the NRHEG softball team knew it would have to pick it up at least one notch to compete this spring.
The Panthers did it in the season opener against Janesville-Waldorf-Pemberton Monday, April 8, defeating the Bulldogs 9-4 in a Gopher Conference game.
“The girls played well for the first day out,” said coach Wendy Schultz. “We still have plenty of things we’ll be trying to improve upon throughout the season.”
Ninth-grader Anna Lundberg pitched a strong game for NRHEG, allowing three earned runs on six hits, with eight strikeouts and three walks.

The NRHEG baseball team is coming off a conference championship season in which they graduated many players.
The inexperience of the new squad showed in the season opener last Monday, April 8 as the Panthers lost 12-2 in five innings to JWP at New Richland’s Legion Field.
The Panthers collected just two hits, one apiece by Brad Claycomb and Nic Mangskau. Claycomb had one RBI and a stolen base. Johnny White drove in the other run while walking once. Spencer Tollefson drew a pair of walks.
Mangskau, a senior righthander, started on the mound for the Panthers and went four innings, giving up five runs (two earned), on six hits, striking out three and walking two.
