for the first time in the 3,200-meter run, but he won convincingly in 10:00.79, 3.26 seconds ahead of Osceola’s Quinn Mc-Donald. Sullivan was just 0.35 seconds behind his personal-best time set June 8 in the Great Northern Conference meet. Eggen (10:07.81) and Marcus Peterson of Barron (10:11.07) also will head to state. Raider senior Jack Tlusty finished 16th in the race at 11:52.1. The

history. “It wasn’t like we gave it to them,” Medford head coach Virg Berndt said, crediting Merrill’s hitters for their work late in the game. “We didn’t give it away.” Merrill (13-10) advanced to the sectional final Wednesday at Mosinee against Baldwin-Woodville (20-0), who finished the regular season ranked second in the Division 2 state rankings, one spot ahead of Medford.

mound. He was replaced by freshman hurler Easton Stone. The Warriors got a break when Mudgett was doubled off first on Tanner Hraby’s popped-up bunt attempt, but Guden was grazed by a pitch to keep the inning going. Alexander then hit a rocket to deep left-center for extra bases. Justin Hraby waved Guden around third, but the relay throw from shortstop Zack Fisher was right on the money to

Three games for the Rib Lake baseball team against Athens in a 15-day span all had a similar theme. The team that made mistakes and gave the opponent free bases won each time. On Tuesday, the second-seeded Redmen took the rubber match for the season, winning the WIAA Division 4 regional semifinal matchup between Marawood North co-champions 5-2 thanks to two big hits in rallies that included

A baseball game is never over until that final out is recorded, a fact the Thorp-Gilman baseball players were truly appreciating when they woke up Wednesday knowing they still had at least one more game to play. The second-seeded co-op got some help from the third-seeded Whitehall Norse in the bottom of the seventh inning in Tuesday’s WIAA Division 3 regional semifinal, but Thorp-Gilman also

At the time of the season where peak performance is the goal and, often times, a necessity, the Medford Raiders had several examples of those kinds of efforts in Monday’s WIAA Division 2 track and field regional meet held at Raider Field. The girls placed third out of nine teams and the boys were fifth, but for most squads, the regional isn’t so much about team standings as it is extending

The Gilman Pirates got the individual performances they were looking for and advanced two relays, while the Rib Lake Redmen found success with their relays and sprinkled in some individual advancements during Monday’s WIAA Division 3 Cadott regional. Gilman and Rib Lake tied for fifth place on the girls side of the meet, which was originally supposed to be held in Gilman, but had to be moved

In a round of blowouts in Sectional 1 of the WIAA Division 3 girls soccer tournament, there was one match that couldn’t have been any closer. In a game that took two days to complete, the sixth-seeded Medford Raiders and third-seeded Falcons from Amherst/ Iola-Scandinavia played to a 1-1 draw through 90 minutes of regulation and two 10-minute overtime periods, forcing a penalty-kick shootout

Medford’s Peyton Kuhn is used to putting on some offensive displays as the school’s all-time leading scorer in boys basketball. Even he had to be amazed a little bit by the totals he and the Northern Wisconsin All-Star team put up June 9 at the seventh annual Kiwanis Classic Border Bash, held at Northland Pines High School. Northern Wisconsin beat Northern Michigan 172-114 in, by far,

Martha Miller continued to do what Martha Miller does in the circle and Laurissa Klapatauskas carried the offense with home runs in her first two at-bats in the Medford Raiders’ lopsided 15-0 win over Ashland in Monday’s WIAA Division 2 regional semifinal. The playoff debut for the 2021 Raiders couldn’t have gone much smoother as only one Oredocker reached base in the four-inning game and
