Boys' Swim

Boys’ Swim competed in the WIAA Division 2 Sectional at Milton High School on Saturday, February 15th, where they had another successful meet. The Hawks placed 6th overall, set three new team records, and earned WIAA State berths in eight events! Leading the way for the swim team was Jack Borzynski ’26, who set a new team record and earned a first place finish with a guaranteed spot at State in the 100 Fly with a time of 51.30. He set a new team record and qualified for State in the 100 Free with a time of 49.75. Nathan Breit ’26 qualified for State in the 200 Free (1:50.89) with a 9th place finish and the 100 Backstroke (54.70) with a 2nd place finish. Nolan Mrotek ’26 also qualified for State in his two individual events, placing 3rd in both the 100 Breaststroke (1:04.31) and 200 IM (2:08.87). Relay teams in the 200 Medley (Breit, Mrotek, Borzynski, and Nolan Barrett’ 27) and 200 Freestyle (Borzynski, Barrett, Mrotek, and Breit) also qualified for the State meet. Best of luck, boys!

 

Boys' Basketball

The Hawks took on Shoreland Lutheran at home on Friday, February 14th, and emerged with a 51-40 victory over the Pacers. In a close game throughout, the boys found themselves in a 35-30 deficit in the second half. They tightened the defensive effort and made enough offensive plays to come out on top. In his first game since December 26th, Chandler Perry ’27 contributed eight points and five rebounds in limited minutes. Dalton Ahlensdorf ’27 led the Hawks with a double-double of 14 points and 10 rebounds. Coach Jason Atanasoff noted it was a “tough, gritty win.  Shoreland is one of the better defensive teams we play, and I thought our boys did a heck of a job on the defensive end tonight in the final 12 minutes of the game.  It was great to see Chandler back in action; we certainly missed having him out there.”

Taking on the Salam School Stars on Tuesday, February 18th, the boys took the lead early and didn’t look back, winning 74-45. Perry, still playing limited minutes as he returns to action, had 16 points on a perfect 8-8 shooting night and brought down eight rebounds. Ahlensdorf had a team-high 19 points and nine rebounds, while Carsen Eeg ’25 had 13 points and a team-high nine assists. “A good win tonight and should help with seeding,” said Coach Atanasoff. “Playing in the Metro Classic no doubt prepares us well and tonight was a good example.  Emmett Wassil ’28 was simply outstanding on the defensive end.  He was challenged to guard their best player, who came in averaging 31 points per game.  Emmett held him to 11 points.”

 

Girls' Basketball

In a rescheduled game against Wisconsin Lutheran on Monday, the Hawks played through a very physical game and came out on top, 64-55. Throughout the game, rebounding and free throws gave the Hawks the advantage that kept them on top. Meg Decker ’25 scored a season-high 29 points, including 9-11 shooting from the free throw line to lead the Hawks. Fellow senior JJ Barnes added 15 points, 11 rebounds, and seven assists, while Amiyah Galica ’26 added another 10 points. The Hawks led in the rebound column of the stat sheet 41-24, besting the Vikings 14-6 on the offensive boards.
