WB-M WOLVERINES<br />

The West Bend-Mallard Wolverines boys’<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 />

Rounding out the squad for the purple-andgold<br />

are senior Cole Douglas, juniors Jake<br />

Umsted and Taylor Foley along with sopho-<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 />
