Big Shoes To Fill on GHV Girls’ Track TeamWill the GHV girls’ track team have

enough fi repower to successfully de-fend their conference title? The Car-dinals return a wealth of talent to the roster this year but replacing stars like Emily Mathews, Dasi Larson and Maddie Tusha will no doubt be a very tall task.

This year’s squad consists of 25 team members with 14 returning let-

ter winners. The Cards will have rea-sonable depth in the distance races with Angela O’Hara, Morgan Gra-ham and Rebecca Larson running the long events while Tiara Van Gerpen, Courtney Prescott, Danielle Nelson and Rachel Weaver will fi ll the middle distance races. Stacy Hackenmiller, Brooklyn Ossman and Miranda Jack-son will be competing in the hurdle

events while Mallory Van Oort, Casie Conley and Betshaida Larson will be leaders in the sprint events. Taylor Vossberg is also a sprinter who also scores consistently in the high jump.

An athletic group of freshmen are expected to help fi ll some spots in the varsity lineup. Jillian Heitland and Jacki Van Oort will hopefully add depth to the sprinting and hurdle

crews while Emma Whelan is ex-pected to fi ll some spots in the middle distance and distance events.

It appears that the Cardinal athletes share their coach’s passion for the sport. “We are so excited to be back at it this season. The girls are ready to do what it takes to put up a fi ght and hold our own. The excitement started early this winter with girls texting each

other, “I can’t wait for track!” They truly love this sport and they love this team! We’re looking forward to an amazing season!”amazing season!”

GHV Boys Look to Maintain Track Success

GHV boys’ track coach Kelsey Stef-fens will have plenty of options avail-able as she builds her meet lineups this season. The Cardinals will again feature a large number of competitors on the squad as a dozen letter winners along with 18 others are seeking spots on the varsity roster.

GHV has been strong in hurdle events recently and that trend should continue with three members of last year’s state qualifying shuttle hurdle relay team working for a return trip. Sam Cataldo, J.J. Loschen and David Cook will be looking for a fourth as they work on that relay.

GHV’s distance events have also been a highlight in recent seasons and that appears to be a strong area again. State qualifier Chase Smith will work for another trip to Des Moines while Derek Brown and Logan Dalbeck will add depth to the distance corps. Johnny O’Connor is expected to be a strong performer in the middle dis-tance events.

GHV will have six letter winners filling spots in the sprint events. Ezra Marroquin, Logan Rohlfing, Connor Shaw, Kevin Boehnke, Zac Scholl and Nich Mehmen will provide a good nucleus of talent for Steffens to

use when building her lineup. The Conference has been competi-

tive for many seasons and that is also expected to be the case this year. Stef-fens expects the top NIC contenders to be Forest City, Osage and GHV. The Cards have some big shoes to fill, but they hope to repeat as NIC cham-pions.

“I am excited to start this outdoor season,” noted Coach Steffens. “We have a talented, dedicated group who are eager to compete and earn points for the team.

North Iowa Girls Track

The North Iowa Lady Bison will have a strong core of athletes for track and fi eld this season, with a total of 18 girls coming back from last year and four freshmen joining the cause.

Three state qualifi ers are back for North Iowa: senior Madison Blodgett, junior Brooke Hovland and sopho-more Kendall Melz, who all ran in the 4x800 at state last season, placing

ninth. Blodgett also competed in the 800 meter run at state, placing 17th.

The roster of returning athletes also includes: seniors Ashley Huntington in sprints and Makeila Shortenhaus in hurdles; juniors Ashley Baumann in sprints, Megan Davis and Samantha Sevley in mid-distance, Lucy Hughes in throws, Kayla Limberg in distance, Tiarra Jensvold in sprints and jumps,

Sydney Main in sprints and hurdles, and Christa Miller in distance; and sophomores Rachel Hassebroek in sprint and hurdles, Rian Helland in distance, Taylen Hinders and Cassidy Sachs in throws, and Mariah Richter in sprints and hurdles.

“We have the most returning depth in the middle distance events,” said Head Coach Jonathan Potter, who

returns for his 17th year coaching track at North Iowa. He is assisted by coaches Nate Hemiller, Amanda Smith and Steve Bergeson.

Newcomers to this year’s team in-clude freshmen: Kenzie Bengtson in mid-distance and throws, Rebekah Jensvold in sprints, Krista Schutter in sprints and hurdles, and Rachel Schutter in mid-distance and hurdles.

“Our team’s ability to score should be more balanced than last year,” said Potter. “Development of our younger runners and staying healthy are the keys to the season.”

Potter says their goal is to place in the top half of the North Iowa Confer-ence, where Osage is the favorite and Garner-Hayfi eld/Ventura and Forest City are also top contenders.

Members of the North Iowa boys’ track and fi eld team for the 2015 season are: (front row, left to right) Hunter Gelhaus, Logan Eichenberger, Josiah Beenken, Connor Smith, Kameron Rohwedder and Alex Paulson; (back row) Head Coach Jonathan Potter, Coach Nate Hemiller, Jacob Koppen, Noah Paulson, Spencer Armstrong, Austin Haisman, Colin Weaver, Sam Hassebroek, Drew Jensen, Nathan Beenken, Coach Amanda Smith and Coach Steve Bergeson.

North Iowa boys bring back fi ve state qualifi ersThe North Iowa Bison expect to

succeed in a range of events this track and fi eld season, with fi ve returning state qualifi ers who took seven events to state last year.

State qualifi ers back this year in-clude senior Connor Smith, who com-peted in the 1600 meter run, 1600 me-ter medley and 4x800 at state; junior Alex Paulson, who qualifi ed in both the shot put and discus; sophomore Spencer Armstrong, who qualifi ed in the 100 meter and 200 meter dashes, as well as the 1600 meter medley;

sophomore Sam Hassebroek, who competed in the 4x800; and sopho-more Austin Haisman, who ran in the 1600 meter medley.

The medley team fi nished seventh at state last year, while the 4x800 team placed 11th. Armstrong placed seventh in the 100 meters and 18th in the 200 meters, Paulson placed 15th in the discus and 18th in the shot put, and Smith placed 13th in the 1600 meter run.

Others back for the Bison include: juniors Josiah Beenken in mid-dis-

tance, Logan Eichenberger in sprints, Hunter Gelhaus in throws, and Ka-meron Rohwedder in distance; and sophomores Drew Jensen and Colin Weaver in mid-distance and Noah Paulson in throws and sprints.

Two freshmen are new to the team this year, including Nathan Beenken in mid-distance and Jacob Koppen in sprints.

Head Coach Jonathan Potter returns for his seventh year coaching the boys, with assistance from coaches Nate Hemiller, Amanda Smith and

Steve Bergeson.While having only 14 athletes will

limit the amount of points the Bison can rack up at meets, Coach Potter says they should have some good per-formances across a range of events. “We look to have some pieces that can score well in each of the broad areas – throws, sprints and distance,” said Potter.

Staying healthy will be one area of concern for the team. “We have sustained some injuries early in the season to key personnel,” said Potter.

“How they bounce back and are able to perform when the meets start will be critical to our season.

Potter says they will look to fi nish in the top half of the North Iowa Con-ference this spring, with Forest City, Osage and Garner-Hayfi eld/Ventura likely to be the top teams.

Members of the North Iowa girls’ golf team for the 2015 season are: (front row, left to right) Samantha Pettit, Dani Yegge and Ivey Greensky; (Back row) Chelsey Roth, Sydney Giesking, Mica Johnson and Jenna Berschman.

With just two returning golfers from last season, the North Iowa Lady Bison will largely be a new team this year.

Providing some experience for a team that includes many fi rst-time golfers are junior Sydney Giesking and senior Chelsey Roth. Another source of experience will be Head Coach Vic Garza, who has returned to the team after one year off as coach.

Garza says he expects Giesking to be the team’s top golfer this season.

“She will be the strength and the leader of the girls’ team this year. Her swing looks real good and the driver is long. There is some work to do on the short game, but that will come as the season goes on,” said Garza. He says Roth will bring her game as a veteran and will be trying hard this season.

Joining the squad for their fi rst season this year are juniors Ivey Greensky, Samantha Pettit and Mica Johnson, sophomore Dani Yegge, and

freshman Jenna Berschman.One of the main things the Lady Bi-

son will be focusing on this season is their short game. “The short game is always a problem. Chipping and put-ting at this level of golf is last to come around,” said Garza.

While it will be tough to be com-petitive in the conference without having much experience, Garza says he hopes the girls can have fun and enjoy the game.

North Iowa Boys Golf

The North Iowa boys will bring a lot of experience to the golf course this season, as four seniors and one junior return to the lineup.

Senior Taylor Ostermann returns for his fourth year on the varsity squad, along with seniors Colton Skarpohl-Ost, Garrett Walsh and Austin Paden, plus junior Cam Hepperly.

Vic Garza is back to helm the golf team as head coach, after taking last season off. He says Ostermann will be a big asset to the team, as he knows most of the courses and is a hard worker. “He

will get his share of medals this year,” said Garza.

“Colton is starting to show im-provement in his game already this year. Garrett is working on his irons, and his driver is going straight and long. Cam showed a lot of improvement in his driver from two years ago, and I hope it works out in competition. Austin is straightening out his driver and irons, his golf swing is improv-ing a lot from last year, and he will be shooting lower scores this year with some hard work,” said Garza.

Newcomers to the squad are freshmen Jordan Boekelman and Damon Olson.

Garza hopes to see the boys fi n-ish in the top three in the confer-ence this season, with Forest City and Lake Mills being the top con-tenders. To get there, he says the golfers will need to keep the ball in the fairway and work on im-proving their short game.

“If they can keep the game fun and just enjoy it as a game that can be played long after they leave school, then we will have a suc-cessful season,” said Garza.

(Rick Ermer Photo )

In spite of losing some quality play-ers to graduation, GHV boys’ golf coach Ken Krause is expecting some good things on the course this season. The Cardinals enjoyed great success last year, fi nishing 19 – 13 – 1 over-all while placing second at the North Iowa Conference tournament. The Cards will have a better outlook in post-season play as well since GHV will be competing in Class 2A when the state tournament series begins.

For the past two seasons the Cards have been a 3A school.

Coach Krause will build this year’s team around four returning letter-winners. Seniors Ryan Grunwald, Braedan Johnston and Jordan Bab-cock will provide a strong nucleus to the squad along with sophomore Grady Umbarger. Umbarger is the lone letter winner returning with all-conference honors.

The Cardinals will be expecting

some stiff competition in NIC play this season, especially with the addi-tion of three new teams to the league. Bishop Garrigan will no doubt add strength to the conference schedules along with newcomers Eagle Grove and North Union. The 11-team league should provide plenty of stiff compe-tition and GHV will have the luxury of hosting this year’s conference tour-nament.

Garner-Hayfield/Ventura Girls Golf

Members of the Garner-Hayfield-Ventura girls golf team for the 2015 season are: (front row, from the left) Kyleigh Slaichert, Courtney Pletcher, Cassie Eichmann, Rachel Enright, Kat Groom, Jasie Heitland, Elly Johnston, (back row) Katelyn Oetken, Bailee Frayne, Kayla Leerar, Lydia Seelhammer, Madee Hejna, and Paige Penning. (Rick Ermer Photo)

With only three letter winners re-turning from last season’s squad, the Cardinal girls’ golf team realisti-cally shouldn’t expect to repeat as the North Iowa Conference champions. But in spite of lacking experience, the GHV girls begin the season with high hopes for another successful season.

The Cards have opened the past two years with at least five letter winners on the roster, leading GHV to consec-utive NIC titles. The Cardinals went 21 – 9 overall in 2014 and Coach Todd Greiman is optimistic that this year’s team can match or possibly even improve on that mark.

GHV will rely on two upperclass-men to lead the squad this year. Se-nior Madee Hejna and junior Kyleigh Slaichert are wcoming off impressive seasons in 2014. Slaichert earned the runner-up individual medal at the North Iowa Conference tournament and also advanced to the Class 3A Re-gional Final tournament. Hejna was right behind Kyleigh at the NIC meet, finishing third individually and fin-ished one stroke shy of moving on in Class 3A tournament play. Complet-ing the list of returning letter winners is sophomore Elly Johnston.

Even with untested young play-

ers on the roster, Greiman believes the squad will be competitive. “Both Madee and Kyleigh had solid seasons last year and I see them both being top performers in the NIC. Bailee has considerable experience in junior tournaments and that should help her fit right into the lineup.

The Cardinals will open their sea-son with a tough test against a sea-soned squad. GHV will host a Clar-ion-Goldfield team that qualified for the state tournament last year and has all six players returning.

North Iowa Trap Shooting

Members of the North Iowa trap team for the 2015 are: (front row, from the left) Head Coach Keith Frerichs, Jordan Ostrander and Danica Voortmann; (back row) Zach Dirksen, Noah Melz and Thomas Blodgett. Not pictured: Alyssa Swearingen, Samantha Sevley, Allison Almelien, Nicholus Price, Coach Bill Rolling and Coach Eric Knudson.

North Iowa High School will field a young team of trap shooters this season, as four returning athletes are joined by five newcomers.

The Bison are led again this year by head coach Keith Frerichs, along with assistants Eric Knudson and Bill Rolling.

Back for the Bison this season are junior Zach Dirksen and sophomores Allison Almelien, Danica Voortmann and Nicholus Price. Newcomers in-

clude senior Alyssa Swearingen, ju-nior Samantha Sevley, sophomore Noah Melz and freshmen Jordan Os-trander and Thomas Blodgett.

Frerichs says having four return-ing shooters will be a strength for the team this season, including Dirksen who has three years of experience. He says he’ll have to wait until the team gets a few practices under their belts before he’ll know who the standouts might be this season. He expects he

Bison to score somewhere in the mid-dle of the pack against their competi-tion this year.

Last season, North Iowa placed 153rd out of 232 teams competing at state.

“The key to a successful season will be if the athletes take their practices serious and focus on improving,” said Frerichs. “If everyone works on im-proving their score, we will do fine.”

New athletic programs at most high schools typically require sev-eral seasons to develop competitive squads. The GHV girls’ soccer team, in their third year of existence under head coach Josh Banse, has shown growth over the past two seasons and the Cards are looking for that trend to

continue. The Cardinals won five of 15 matches in 2014 and considering that six of the losses were either by one goal or in overtime, GHV appears to be on the verge of significant success.

Banse has an optimistic outlook heading into the season, especially since the roster contains an impres-

sive number of experienced players. With 13 letter winners on the squad the Cards should be able to field a com-petitive team this season. The list of returning players includes nine start-ers and five subs from last year’s team along some incoming freshmen with great talent.

Six seniors will look to lead the team over the .500 mark this year. On that list are mid fielder/forward Macken-zie Haag, defender/utility Autumn Prehn, defender Tiara Van Gerper, for-ward Riannan Kadrlik, forward Emily Spilman and goalie Samantha Betz. Three talented juniors will also pro-

vide experience to the team with mid-fielders Payton Bamrick and Autumn Weaver along with defender Sydney Childress. Sophomores also fill some key roles with defenders Macken-zie Van Gerpen, Brooklyn Laird and Carlie Knutson and goalie Hannah Lau.

GHV boys’ soccer coach Eric Wil-liams is hoping that a strong senior presence combined with a healthy list of returning letter winners will result in a successful season for the Car-dinals. With a total of 34 players on the roster and a dozen letter winners, GHV should be able to continue the trend of improvement. The Cards fi n-

ished 5 – 8 overall last year, showing improvement in the win column for the fourth consecutive season.

Seven senior letter winners will lend their leadership to this year’s squad. Seniors playing defender include Co-rey Hauptman, Logan Ryerson and Logan Johnson while Jack Bertilson, Josh Miller and Nathan Lacaria are

all midfi elders. Goalkeeper Jeremiah Loschen completes the list of seniors while juniors Dalton Basinger, Ty Marth and Turner Albertson will play striker and midfi eld. Sophomores Chase Theobald and Patrick Terhark return as defender and striker.

Williams noted that he also has an abundance of young talent. “We con-

tinue to believe that we are a team, and there are going to be a lot of un-derclassmen that will be contributing this year. We have a very large fresh-man class that has shown success the last couple of years in the North Iowa Soccer program.”

Coach Williams has high hopes for the upcoming season. “I believe that

this year we have all the pieces to be successful. I want our student athletes to know what it means to be “student athletes” fi rst, and proud community, and school representatives, and devel-oping to be great young men. I think this is the best team we have had on paper, and I love the challenge of get-ting them to perform on the fi eld.”
