The Germantown Boys' Cross Country Team competed at the Leighton Betz Invitational at Greenfield Park in West Allis on Friday, September 6th. This race included some ranked teams (Wisconsin Cross Country Coaches Association) and was a good early season test for the athletes on a fast course.
Vander Hausmann set the tone for the day in the Freshman Boys race jumping out to the lead and battling back and forth with his competitor from Slinger. Vander ended up finishing second in race by 0.1 seconds. Ben Armstrong was the 2nd runner for the team in 18th place and was followed by a packed up group of runners - Anthony Nuchikat (39th); Blake Yegge (40th); and Justin Sossaman (41st) to round out the scoring. The Freshman Boys' Team finished 3rd out of 10 teams at the meet.
In the JV Boys race sophomore Ethan Galle (22nd) was the team’s top finisher. Juniors Hunter Erdman (31st) and Zachary Prescott (37th) along with senior Andrew Reineck (43rd) and sophomore Jeremiah Morrow (46th) rounded out the scoring 5. The JV Boys finished 7th out of 13 teams.
The Varsity Boys team ran a strong race finishing 6th out of 14 teams and beat 6 teams that were initially ranked in front of Germantown on MileSplit. Senior Jack Wanezek put together a strong 3rd mile to move up from 17th place to 13th place and earn a medal. Jack will definitely be in the hunt in late October to qualify for the State Championship meet in Wisconsin Rapids. Sophomore Jack Flynn (29th) had a 45 second personal record (PR) with a great race. Junior Matthew Momper (37th) improved upon his season opener and seniors Emerson Feltz (56th) and James Goetter (57th) ran a brilliant race working together to push each other through to the finish and round out our scoring five.
The team races this week at Dretzka Park on Saturday, September 14th and it is a great opportunity for our community to come out and support our cross country student-athletes. The racing starts at 9:30 am with the JV Girls and the last race of the day is at 11:10 am for the Varsity Boys.

Hale Invitational- September 6, 2024: The Germantown Girls' Cross Country team's 2nd meet of the season was held Friday at Greenfield Park in West Allis. After an extended period of hot, humid weather, conditions were much better for this race, and times were much faster than the first meet of the season. Overall, the team saw 19 PRs (personal records) and 14 SBs (seasonal bests). This was also a much larger meet, with 18 schools, and some of them rank among the best in the state.
There is a lot of great depth on the team, and the JV showed this by winning again. Leading the way were medal winners Sophie Lee (5th) and Carley Lorbecki (12th), with Ella Armstrong, Emily Laitinen, and Anne Drinan rounding out the team’s score. The Varsity team ran strong as well, with 5 PRs and 3 SBs for the 8 runners in that race. FULL RESULTS
