Preps of the Week

Female Prep Recap

The female prep sports season is over, and there are plenty of athletes deserving recognition. Let's take a look back at our Female Prep Athletes of the Week from the spring sports season.

Male Prep Recap

Thursday's state baseball tournament marks the end of the prep sports season. Let's take a look back at all the outstanding student athletes that made this season special.

Drew Osier

Austin boys golf head coach Will Pazurek hasn't sent one of his boys to the state tournament in his five years... until now. Junior Drew Osier will play with the state's best next week, much to the surprise of many, including himself.

Sophie Charlton

If the Big 9 conference track meet is a good barometer for the section track meet, then Mayo's Sophie Charlton is in pretty good shape.

Emily Rysavy

Lyle/Pacelli's season is now done but the Athletics made it this far in part because of their starting pitcher. She's this week's Female Prep Athlete of the Week.

Amrik Donkena

He's helped lead the Mayo Spartans to the state tournament in all four of his seasons on the varsity tennis team. Amrik Donkena, now a senior, is poised to win another team crown, and possibly his first individual state title.

Megan DeBoer

Tomorrow begins the Sub-Section 1A softball tournament, and no team is more proud to be there than Blooming Prairie. The young squad has exceeded expectations, thanks in part to tonight's Female Prep Athlete of the Week.

Eric Zishka

It's not very fair to call our Male Prep Athlete of the Week a giant killer, because he's becoming pretty big himself. Fresh off a win against the top tennis player in Section One, Owatonna's freshman tennis ace is making quite a name for himself.

Catherine Wagner

Catherine Wagner is so intimidating on the golf course, one of her opponents recently said she felt overmatched because Wagner was that much better.

Tony Nierman

Mayo baseball is off to another hot start at 11-0 and the Spartans are looking to third base to lay some heavy lumber.
