Area track and field sectional loaded
This week's column is penned by Now Newspapers writer Steven L. Tietz, who covers the North Shore and Northwest communities. He knows track and field as well as anyone, and that's an area particularly interesting to the Arrowhead area, with a boys and girls team each capable of winning gold at this year's state meet.

Coaches satisfied with move to Resch Center
Mukwonago girls basketball coach Todd Frohwirth has coached twice in the state tournament, and never in a building as modern as the Resch Center in Green Bay.

Waukesha North 5, Mukwonago 2
The Mukwonago boys tennis team finished the dual-meet portion of the season May 8 with a 5-2 loss to Waukesha North at Mukwonago. Mitch Hollman (No. 4 singles) recorded one of the victories, and Jake Diesler (No. 1 singles) continued his rampage through the league with a straight-set win. Diesler entered the weekend's Classic 8 Conference tournament with an undefeated mark in league matches.
