Good luck to the area high school track and field and golf athletes, who will soon be involved in your post-season action. It's indeed time for outdoor sports enthusiasts, beginning with the 2018-19 end of school-year activities! And if you listen closely enough you can already possibly hear the thunking sound of a baseball or softball bat, as that's just around the corner.

And it turned out to be a good day for the IHS boys, sweeping the first three spots for a 256-stroke team score, bettering the runners-up from Selby Area's 297. But the Walworth County based team did manage a 311 to 378 win over second-place Ipswich in the girls' division. Those Tiger...
Though the Lake Region Conference track and field meet in Ipswich last Tuesday started out in less than optimal weather conditions and ended in downright rain showers, several records and state qualifications were still recorded. And Ipswich swept the varsity meet in both the girls' and boys' divisions.
