The Whitewater track and field team clashed with its bitter rival Oshkosh Saturday, Feb. 13 at a 1 p.m. indoor showdown with masks and a limited audience. Both sides came ready to fight, looking to each other and their coaches to give them the energy that was missing from the crowd. 

“The energy is different not having people in the stands, but regular season meets usually don’t draw huge crowds compared to other sports. Our kids adapted well and found a way to create their own energy through supporting one another at the meets,” said associate head coach Josh Ireland. 

On the track Luke Zanis won the 400-meter dash, David Fassbender won the 3,000-meter run and Landon Keefover won the 60-meter hurdles. Maddie Keifer won the triple jump, Brooke Walling won the high jump, Amanda Leder won the 1-mile run and Kylie Jacobs took first in the 400-meter dash. 

        “Our team did an amazing job against good competition,” said Jacobs. “We’re excited to see what our team can do in the future.” 

The Warhawks will bring out the claws again this Friday, Feb. 19 at 5 p.m. against Oshkosh.
