More Wolves headed to
State Track By Neal A. Shipman The Wolves varsity track teams had two good showings
this past week as the Wolves girls team won the Williams County
Invitational last Tuesday before taking fourth at the New Salem
Invitational at the Bismarck Bowl. In the same two meets, the boys
team took second at the Williams County Meet and third at the New
Salem Invitational. "The girls ran very well on Saturday,"
stated Greg Brown, girls head coach. "The girls 800 meter relay
of Peyton Martin, Olivia Sundeen, Kara Johnsrud and Sibee Jokela
qualified for State, while Sibee Jokela qualified for State in the
800 meter run. In addition, the 1,600 meter relay of Marti Quale,
Kade Ross, Kara Johnsrud, and Sibee Jokela posted a faster State
qualifying time." In the Williams County Meet, Marti Quale won the 800 and
1,600 meter runs, while Sibee Jokela won the 3,200 meter run. Also placing
in first place for the Wolves was the 800 and 1,600 meter relay teams. In the boys division, Greg Skurupey was a double winner as
he won both the 400 meter dash and the high jump, while Casey Jore took
first in the 3,200 meter run and Jason Shipman won the 110 meter hurdles.
The boys 400 meter and 3,200 meter relay teams also won first place
finishes at the meet. In Saturday’s New Salem Invitational, Rowdy Lund had a
big day for the Wolves as he qualifed for State in the 200 meter dash, and
also won the 110 and 300 meter hurdles with State qualifying times. In the girls divison at the New Salem Invitational, Sibee
Jokela had a State qualifying time in the 800 meter run, while the 800
meter relay team also clocked a State qualifying time. Williams County Invitational - Girls Division

Wolves varsity girls take
third at Kenmare Invite
Paige Anderson fired a
13-over par, 85, to take second place honors for the Watord City varsity
girls golf team on Monday, April 28 as the Wolves placed in third place
with a score of 391 at the Kenmare Invitational Varsity Meet.
Tioga won the meet with a score of 367, while Kenmare was second with a 373.
"Tioga and Kenmare are tough competitors as they both have rosters filled with talented veteran players," stated LeRoy Bettenhausen, Wolves head coach. "Meets like this only make us better as the ladies are competing against some of the toughest golfers in the conference and region."
Rounding out the scoring for Watford City was Shelly Schwan, 98; Krystle Folland, 103; Emilie Anderson,105; Karson Pederson, 110; and Sam Schwan, 115.
"The ladies played well, but their balls rolled off the greens on too many occasions because they didn’t factor in the dry conditions and ground slope," stated Bettenhausen. "We need to focus on improving our course management skills, especially since the Northwest Conference Meet and the Region 6 Meet are at Kenmare."
JV Golfers compete at Hazen
Watford City had two golfers place in the top six at Hazen’s Junior Varsity/Junior High Girls Golf Meet Tuesday, April 29.
In the junior varsity division, Watford City’s Shaunta Miller placed second with a 50, while teammate Brenea Willcox finished third with a 56. The lady Wolves were just strokes away from winning individual medals in the junior high division.
"This was a good, fun experience," stated Bettenhausen. "The ladies played well and showed a lot of improvement."
Competing on the Wolves’ JV/junior high teams are MeLinda Haugeberg, Brenea Willcox, Shaunta Miller, Ashley Hilton, Tara Loomer, Bailey Berquist, Fallon Maston, Kira Kostad and Jayden White Owl.
