WDC boys take 2nd, girls 3rd in Perham - Wadena Pioneer Journal

The Wolverines have struggled to maintain a full team this season due mostly to COVID quarantines. At a meet earlier in the season, the team was missing 15 athletes. At the meet in Perham, they were still missing six varsity runners, according to head coach Marc Reynolds, but he hopes to be back to full strength for the meets on May 13 and May 18.

Overall, Reynolds is happy with how the season is going, but varsity athletes who are unable to compete pose a challenge as well. "It is tough at times to deal with kids missing," Reynolds said. "Our lineup has been ever-changing because of this, but we have to do what we have to do."

Because of the absences, some athletes have been asked to step up and try new things, Reynolds said. "We need kids to step up and get out of their comfort zone a bit to help the team as we go into the True Team Section meet on the 18th and the Park Region Conference meet on the 25th."

There are some athletes who are stepping up, including Kira Sweeney, Amber Collins, Isabelle Larson, Mikaela Malone, and Maddie Packer, who are some of the top point scorers for the girls team this season.

"We have a nice, well-rounded girls team and we're excited to see how we match up in the conference and section meets," Reynolds said.

The boys team was a bit thin on numbers at the start of the season, and the quarantines have exacerbated that issue, which has forced many athletes to try new events, according to Reynolds.

"We are looking at every boy to step into some events that may be out of their comfort zone," Reynolds said. "Aiden Larson, Cole Dunker, Lane Hoefs, Brady Domier, Kaden Peterson, Teshe Loer, and MJ Lunde have all been looked at to step into some new roles this season."

Reynolds plans to try out a few new things in the next couple of meets, "but we're hopeful to have everyone back in the coming week so we can be full strength headed into the true team and conference meets," he said.

The Wolverines host a meet at 4 p.m. Tuesday, May 13.
