WB-M WOLVERINES<br />

golf team returns four golfers with varsity<br />
experience for the 2010 season. The purpleand-gold<br />
will be coached this spring by Head<br />
Coach Phil Sorenson.<br />
“We return four guys that played a lot last<br />
year and gained a lot of varsity experience,”<br />
said Coach Sorenson. “Ryan should be one of<br />
the top golfers in the area and he hopes to<br />
return to the form he had as a freshman when<br />
he qualified for the state tournament. We hope<br />
to finish in the top three of the conference.”<br />
Four lettermen return for the Wolverines in<br />
2010. Leading the way is junior Ryan Banwart.<br />
He finished fourth at conference with an 81<br />
and was sixth at sectionals also with an 81.<br />
The other returnees are senior Jake<br />
Goodchild, junior Greg Mader and sophomore<br />
Christopher Schmidt. Mader was 23rd at the<br />
conference meet with a 92 and Goodchild was<br />
38th with a 98. At sectionals, Goodchild was<br />
15th with an 89, Schimdt 17th with a 90 and<br />
Mader was 32nd with a 98.<br />

With the top four golfers returning<br />
from last year’s team, the West<br />
Bend-Mallard Wolverine girls’ golf<br />
team looks for a successful season in<br />
2010. The Wolverines will be<br />
coached this season by Head Coach<br />
Koy Goodchild.<br />
“We return our top four girls from<br />
a team that finished third at the<br />
Cornbelt Conference meet,” said<br />
Coach Goodchild. “These girls have<br />
been working on their game at the<br />
Capesius Golf Academy and expect<br />
to be much improved players this<br />
spring. They have some experience<br />
gained last season and have good<br />
knowledge of the game.”<br />
Leading the list of returning letter<br />
winners are seniors Natalie Forsythe<br />
and Nicole Gearhart. Gearhart was<br />
ninth at the conference meet with a<br />
109 and shot a 104 at the district<br />
meet while Forsythe shot a 117 at<br />

WB-M/TRV girls look for big things<br />
Last season the West Bend-<br />
Mallard/Twin River Valley<br />
girls’ track team made huge<br />
strides, winning the Cornbelt<br />
Conference and were the runner-ups<br />
at the girls’ Class 1A<br />
regional meet.<br />
The girls were 30th at the<br />
Class 1A state meet with nine<br />
points. Head Coach Jamie<br />
Fehr will again be the head<br />
mentor for the squad, which<br />
returns 15 letter winners<br />
among a cast of 24 runners.<br />
“The girls are showing<br />
great work effort early in the<br />
season, most likely due to the<br />
excitement they generated last<br />
year,” said Coach Fehr. “The<br />
team broke a number of<br />
records and won a number of<br />
meets last year.<br />
“One of the most important<br />
goals we achieved was winning<br />
our conference meet last<br />
year. The girls are planning to<br />
repeat that title this year and I<br />
think we have a great chance<br />
of accomplishing that goal.<br />
This year we have our sights<br />
set on a district title, having<br />
been the runner-ups last year.<br />
“A number of girls have<br />
gained the confidence they<br />
need to train well, compete<br />
hard and make it to the state<br />
meet again this year. The team<br />
continues to improve, set<br />
