A fun couple days of action is ahead of us at the WIAA State Track and Field Championships right here in La Crosse! Best of luck to all area athletes competing and we’ll have highlights from top finishers from Division 2 & 3 at 6:00 and then we’ll add on Division 1 at 10:00.

Blake Thiry (Blake Thiry 🌟) is the first state champion in Prairie du Chien boys track and field since 1979 after his first place finish in the D2 long jump with a leap of 23-6.75. He's got a chance to finish 1st in 110m & 300m hurdles as well as triple jump tomorrow 👀

Cochrane-Fountain City's Addy Duellman kicked it into another gear in the late stages of her two mile Division 3 state title. She finished with a time of 10:35.96 which shatters her old personal best.

After clearing 6-8, something he's never done, Jack Schmeling (Jack Schmeling) celebrated with a backflip en route to a runner-up finish in the Division 3 high jump on Friday. The future Badger will look for another podium finish tomorrow in the discus finals.

Even after breaking a state record with a time of 4:02.25, Onalaska's Manny Putz took second as Grady Lenn of De Pere finished in 4:01.79. It was one of the most exciting races of Day 1 at the state meet and even after a runner-up finish, Manny was still gracious in defeat.

In his pursuit to be the 3rd boy in WIAA State Track and Field history to win four state titles in a weekend Blake Thiry falls just short in the 300m hurdles. The future Indiana football player turns in a time of 38.00. He ends his weekend with 3 titles and a runner-up finish.

Declan Gregg (Declan Gregg) with a HUGE push at the end to win the Division 2 two mile. He told us after the race "I've never pushed that hard."

Kyle Hehli is a STATE CHAMPION in Division 2. Here’s the match-clinching point for the West Salem Panther. According to Todd Sommerfeldt it’s the Coulee Region’s first WIAA singles tennis champion in over 100 years.

Such a well-spoken young man. That was my first time speaking directly with Manny but the way he articulated his words after a different finish than he imagined really left an impression on me. He will be successful in whatever he chooses to do in life.

The #Packers had a trade in place with another team earlier in the year, but the other team wouldn’t pay Alexander’s full $17M salary. Alexander didn’t want to take less and do the trade never happened. The die was cast early in the off-season.

FINAL- Holmen: 1 Sun Prairie East: 5 Cardinals advance to face the winner of No. 2 seed Middleton/No. 3 Madison Memorial in the Sectional 3 title game later today.

Great arm, even better name. The #Brewers No. 4 prospect expected to get the start on Thursday at home against the Cardinals.

A year after winning the D3 state baseball tournament the Aquinas Blugolds are headed back to Fox Cities Stadium in Division 2 after a 6-5 win over Mosinee in the sectional final. It's the third season in a row Aquinas has punched their ticket to state on the baseball field.

BACK TO STATE - For the 3rd consecutive season the Aquinas Blugolds are headed to Fox Cities Stadium. Aquinas held off a late rally attempt by Mosinee in the Division 2 sectional final winning 6-5. The Blugolds were Division 3 state champions a season ago. 📹: Ben Helwig

NORSEMEN FALL SHORT - With hopes of their fourth-ever trip to the state tournament, Westby fell to Fennimore 3-2 in 8 innings. The Norsemen had the lead late but a walk to Ethan Sheckler in the 7th would knot things up then Tyson Starkey delivered the game-winning hit.

Big series win for the Crew as they take 3 of 4 from St. Louis. Up next are the Cubs on Tuesday in Chicago for a three game set.
