This summer, Wilmot will host the Heiser Basketball Skills Academy on Wednesday afternoons for students interested from incoming grades 3-12! The registration form can be found on our website or Facebook page. You need to be registered by the end of this week! Camp Dates start next Wednesday, June 5th. Both the boys and girls basketball programs are willing to help out with cost if this is prohibitive. Please reach out to Mr. Hanson if this is the case.
The State Track & Field meet took place May 23rd-25th. After COVID, the state changed how athletes qualify. In order to qualify, you have to be in the top 24 times or distances. This year, Wilmot had 5 athletes qualify in 8 events. Addison Heinje qualified 9th in 100 m hurdles. Keitrick Genia qualified 24th in 100m dash. Ethan Schwenn qualified 22nd in the 400m dash and 23rd in the 800 m dash. Kolby Haubris and Keitrick Genia qualified 14th & 20th in high jump. And, two relay teams consisting of Keitrick Genia, Jaxen Dockter, Ethan Schwenn, and Kolby Haubris qualified 23rd in 800m relay and 19th in the Medley Relay.
It was a great first year back as the Wilmot WOLVES. Having 8 state qualifiers proves just that! I couldn't be more proud of the time, effort, and versatility these athletes showed!
On Thursday:
Addison went in with 16.62 PR for 100m Hurdles and ran 16.71 landing her 12th place.
Keitrick went in with a 11.75 PR for 100m dash and ran a new PR of 11.63 and finished 19th
The Medley team went in with a 3:53.28 PR and ran a new PR of 3:49.57 landing them in medaling place of 8th. These 4 boys only ever ran that race 3 times together!

From Golf Coach Allison Butler:
The golf team finished their season yesterday at the regional meet held at Cattail Crossing in Watertown. It is an honor to have coached these amazing kids! Each one of them broke their personal records this year and our 2 new golfers set some good PR numbers! During the season some did earn medals! On 5/3/24 at Cattail Crossing, JV meet Drew Biel golfed a 46 for 5th place and Rhyanna Rudebusch golfed a 58 for 4th place. On 5/6/24 at Cattail Crossing, JV meet Rhyanna Rudebusch golfed 51 for 1st place, Emilie Metz golfed 66 for 3rd place, and Emma Pittsenbarger golfed 67 for 5th place. The season ended with no one going to state, but it is safe to say that they all had a fun year, new friends were made, and after a short break they will spend the summer preparing for next year!

As a last minute addition (10:30pm last night), Coach Sterling, Coach Dockter, & Mr Hanson got these boys into one “Last Chance” track meet. (Thanks, Brandi for helping out!!) These boys traveled all the way to Mobridge on their last day of school to have one last attempt at making state track. The state track meet takes the top 24 times and distances for each event. Yesterday, the boys made the top 24 in the 800 M relay. Today, after a 3 hour car ride, they moved from 27th place in the medley relay (time of 3:57.93) to 19th place with a time of 3:53.28😱 They did it! We now officially have 2 relays for state track!
