Carlie Wagner started the track and field season the same way she ended basketball. By beating almost everyone in sight.
NRHEG’s all-state guard captured two firsts and one second place as the Panthers opened the season indoors Saturday with a five-team meet at Minnesota State University in Mankato.
Wagner, a sophomore, won the high jump at 5-4 and the 55-meter dash in 7.62 seconds, taking second in the 200 in 27.7.
“Carlie is jumping in midseason form,” said Panthers coach Duey Ferber.
Wagner placed fifth in the high jump in last year’s state meet.
Senior Danielle Krueger also had a strong meet, placing second in the 400 in 62.6.
“Danielle is on a mission this year,” said Ferber. “She looks very solid right off the bat.”

The NRHEG baseball team opened its season on an up note, defeating St. Clair 8-6 in a nonconference game at New Richland’s Legion Field last Thursday.
It was a typical opener for the Panthers, who fell behind 4-0 in the first inning, rallied and held on in the end.
Senior Carter Tollefson led the Panthers at the plate, going 2-for-3 with a bases-loaded triple, a walk and the game-winning single in the bottom of the sixth inning. Jacob Staloch drove in two runs with a double.
Senior Mitch Akemann — working through a strained rotator cuff — started on the mound for the Panthers and struggled in the early going, giving up four first-inning runs after an error, three walks and three hits.
