The Border West track and field teams are hoping to continue the recent success that cooperative sponsorship between Wheaton/Herman-Norcross and Clinton-Graceville-Beardsley has had in its inaugural year. The reference, of course, was to the Border West boys basketball team, which earned a Class A State Tournament trip in its first season as a cooperative sponsorship this past winter.

The team returns 22 letter winners between both the girls and boys programs.

2022 Recap

Last year, W/H-N advanced 13 events to the Section 6A meet. Clint Determan had the top finish for the Warriors at the section meet, placing fourth in the 400 meter dash with a time of 53.74, missing out on a state berth by just over a half-second.

The 1600 meter relay team also placed fourth in 3:45.37. Members of the 1600 relay were Determan, Derek Lupkes, Brayden Hormann, and Conner Goodhart, while the 800 meter relay team of Determan, Lupkes, Goodhart, and Brady Pederson placed seventh in 1:38.67, and the 400 meter relay team of Hormann, Drake Berning, Kyle Kremer, and Holden Rinke was eighth in 49.7.
