This is the largest meet of the season for the team with some of the best competition. After a dedicated two week training block the student-athletes were ready to put their legs to the test on a fast course with warmer than usual temperatures.

Jack is now number 8 on the All-Time list and he improved his lifetime PR by 23 seconds! Matt Momper, Jack Flynn, Vander Hausmann, and James Goetter rounded out the scoring five in the Varsity race and all achieved PRs.

Boys' soccer traveled to play Brookfield Central on Tuesday. After dominating possession and the amount of shots, Germantown had no goals at halftime of a 0-0 first half. A few minutes into the second half, Germantown had a freekick just outside the box on the endline. The freekick was taken by Aaron Dethloff. He put a great ball into the box and Payton Laabs finished it with a header into the back of the net to go up 1-0 where it stayed for the rest of the game, securing the team's first conference win of the season!
