The NRHEG track and field teams competed in the Blooming Prairie True Team Invitational Tuesday, May 1. The girls finished atop the eight-team field while the boys took fifth.

The Panther girls totaled 725 points, with WEM second at 697.7. Blooming Prairie was third with 597, followed by JWP at 572.5, Loyola/Cleveland 570.5, Medford 544.5, Bethlehem Academy 337 and Triton 302.

Carlie Wagner led the Panthers, winning the 200 and high jump and taking second in the 100. Abby Crabtree, Danielle Krueger, Raelin Schue and Wagner combined for first in the 4x200 relay. Mikayla Lindell was second in the shot put and discus.

The Panther golf teams both had a change of fortune on Thursday, May 3 as they had overwhelming victories at Maple River.

It was probably the best team performance of the season for the Panthers as all but one of the varsity members shot in the 40s for the match.

Panther Jake Langlie was medalist with 40. Sam Nafe was close behind with a 44. Spencer Hanna (46,) Sam Grothem (47,) Cole Lenort (47) and Macoy Schwierjohann (53.) 

Mitch Volz was low for Maple River with 51.

“We are playing much better,” said NRHEG coach Brad Root. “It was great to have both medalists.”

One bad inning is all it takes, and that was the case for the NRHEG softball team Monday.

The Panthers committed four errors with two outs in the fourth, allowing Mankato Loyola to score five unearned runs on the way to a 5-1 decision at New Richland’s Legion Field.

“It was a spectacular game except for one inning,” said Panthers coach Wendy Schultz, whose team ran its record to 4-2 in the Gopher Conference and 8-2 overall.

Jade Schultz took the pitching loss despite throwing well, allowing no earned runs on five hits. She struck out seven and walked six.

Schultz was also 2-for-3 at the plate. Tori Raimann went 2-for-4. Alyssa Esplan, Anna Stork, Tara Simon and Hannah Lundberg added one hit apiece. Esplan had the lone RBI and Stork scored.
