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 />
