Two NRHEG sophomores are headed for Hamline University. But not for schooling.
Carlie Wagner and T.J. Schiltz will participate in the state track and field meet Friday and Saturday at the St. Paul college.
Wagner made it in two events, the high jump and 200-meter dash. She won the high jump, clearing 5-5, and placed second in the 200 in 28.8 seconds in Saturday’s Section 2A meet at Mankato West High School.
She’ll be joined at state by Schiltz, who won the 3200 section title with a time of 9:58.18, breaking his own school record. Schiltz just missed in the 1600, placing third in 4:37.57.

The NRHEG softball team saw its season come to a sudden and saddening end Saturday as the Panthers lost 5-2 to Waseca in Section 2AA Tournament play at Mankato.
The local girls finished with a record of 16-4.
“This was a game that was tough to lose,” said NRHEG coach Wendy Schultz. “We had opportunities to get up early in the game but made a few mental mistakes. It’s a tough way to end the season, but you have to give credit to Waseca. They played a great game.”
It clearly was not the Panthers’ best showing of the season. They committed three errors to Waseca’s one and Jade Schultz walked nine batters.
