The Algona Upper Des Moines Thursday, April 1, 2010<br />

A big squad numbering 36<br />

girls will dot the roster of the<br />

Bishop Garrigan Golden Bear<br />

girls’ track team. The Golden<br />

Bears have 19 returning letter<br />

winners, including four that<br />

qualified in a pair of events at<br />

the state meet.<br />

Head Coach Greg Ahlers<br />

returns to guide the blackand-gold<br />

thinclads this spring.<br />

He will again be assisted by<br />

Daryl Kohlhaas and Mary<br />

Quinlan.<br />

“We should be strong in<br />

many areas this year,” said<br />

Bishop Garrigan Coach<br />

Ahlers. “We should be solid in<br />

the 400 hurdles and the 400’s<br />

which should be as good as or<br />

better than last year. I am not<br />

sure what will be our best<br />

relay.<br />

“We will have to wait to see<br />

what the new members can<br />

give us. Our weakness with be<br />

in the field events. We will be<br />

looking for girls to step up to<br />

these events and get us some<br />

points in the meet.”<br />

Leading the returning letter<br />

winners is senior Mackenzie<br />

Schindler, who was a member<br />

of the 4 x 400 relay quartet<br />

that placed 19th at state with a<br />

clocking of 4:19.68.<br />

Sophomores Addison Miller<br />

and Mallory Bormann each<br />

ran on that squad with Miller<br />

also finishing 13th in the 400meter<br />

hurdles in a time of<br />

1:09.17. Senior Alyse Meyers,<br />

Last season the Bishop Garrigan Golden<br />

Bear girls’ golf team returned to the top of the<br />

podium capturing the Class 1A state title and<br />

three players return off that squad.<br />

The Golden Bears finished first at the North<br />

Central Conference tournament and were second<br />

at the annual CYO tournament. The blackand-gold<br />

won both the district and regional<br />

titles before taking the state title with a team<br />

score of 700.<br />

“The girls’ road will see the absence of three<br />

seniors from last year but wereturn three letter<br />

winners from that squad,” said veteran Bishop<br />

Garrigan Coach Dean Capesius. “Our goal is<br />

to find three players to fill the void of an experienced<br />

group.<br />

“One could say we gained a year of experience<br />

this past summer with all the hard work<br />

put in to try to continue the road to hopefully<br />

another championship, our sixth in seven<br />

years.<br />

“I think the team will be determined and<br />

ready to play. Hopefully the weather will cooperate<br />

so we can find our place in the 2010 golf<br />

season.”<br />

Three letter winners will return for the<br />

Golden Bears to lead this year’s team. Juniors<br />

Laura Richter and Kelsie Berke along with<br />

sophomore Sheridan Berte are the returnees.<br />

Berte ended a great freshman year with a<br />

who ran at state in 2008, also<br />

returns after missing the<br />

2009 season with a knee<br />

injury.<br />

Other returning letter winners<br />

are seniors Kelly Klein<br />

and Amy Rasmussen; juniors<br />

Brittany Brandt, Aimee<br />

Dahlhauser, Anna Kollasch,<br />

Nora Krahenbuhl, McKayla<br />

Loss and Katie Miller along<br />

with sophomores Emily<br />

Bell, Bethany Capesius,<br />

Lizzy Hohmeister, Abbey<br />

Reding, Alicia Richter and<br />

Shelby Schindler.<br />

Rounding out the roster is<br />

juniors Hannah Bode, Rya<br />

Krumm and Rebecca<br />

Molsberry and sophomores<br />

Cedes Forburger, Lana<br />

Larson, Jeanne McCall and<br />

Kim Schiltz. Freshmen on<br />

the squad are Sophie Behr,<br />

Erica Carlson, Amelia<br />

Golwitzer, Janet Kenyon,<br />

Chelsi Lanus, Sarah McCall,<br />

Melanie Mergen, Aubrie<br />

Meyers, Erin Reedy and<br />

Kelli Rowley.<br />

The squad lost three seniors<br />

from last season’s team.<br />

Those athletes are Kelly<br />

Rouse, Megan Hilbert and<br />

Shanna Miller, who all ran in<br />

relays and Rouse tossed the<br />

discus. Miller qualified for<br />

state in both the 400-meter<br />

hurdles and ran on the 4 x 400<br />

team.<br />

“We will need the younger<br />

girls to contribute this spring,”<br />

said Coach Ahlers.<br />

“Obviously, we will get a<br />

boost from Erin, who placed<br />

fourth at the state cross-country<br />

meet this fall. She will run<br />

800’s, the 1,500 and 3,000 for<br />

us.”<br />

The Golden Bears will open<br />

the 2010 season at the annual<br />

CYO meet to be run at the<br />

A trio of letter winners are back for the Bishop Garrigan girls’ golf squad. They are (from<br />
