The February 2016 murder of a Stoughton woman is now the subject of a national cable television show. The Investigation Discovery channel series “The Killer Beside Me,” focused on workplace violence, premiered Saturday with an episode about the murder of Caroline Nosal at the Metro Market in Madison. Her killer, Chris O’Kroley, was sentenced to life in prison eight months later

Mayoral candidates Tim Swadley and Bob McGeever raised almost identical amounts of money for their campaigns leading up to the week before the April 3 spring election, but Swadley spent about 50 percent more. All told, the eight contested campaigns for mayor and alder spent about $9,000 and raised about $14,000. Two alders had raised more than they spent by the March 26 filing deadline, though

any campaign activity – fundraising or spending – between then and April 3 would not be included on the available reports. McGeever’s campaign spent just over the threshold that required him to fi l e c a m p a i g n fi n a n c e paperwork with the city clerk’s office, $2,023, and more than one-third of the $4,531 he raised – $1,386 – came from his own pocket. Swadley raised a similar amount, $4,660, and spent $3,145.

When the Milwaukee and Mississippi Railroad rerouted its track through town in 1853 on land that city founder Luke Stoughton had donated for the right of way and a train depot, it set the stage for Stoughton to incorporate as a village in 1868 and a city in 1882. The railroad was key to the city’s growing economy from the 1880s to the early 1920s. Its presence made Stoughton a center for agriculture – transporting products and people to and from the city. The railroad’s importance can still be seen, represented in the three remaining tobacco warehouses on East Main Street

Bruno pleads not guilty, gets new attorney Murder suspect fired public defenders AMBER LEVENHAGEN Unified Newspaper Group

Two weeks after switching attorneys, Ted Bruno pleaded not guilty Friday morning, April 20, to charges he murdered his Stoughton roommate last fall. The plea was the first time Bruno, 49, appeared in court with his new attorney, Eric Schulenburg, a private criminal defense lawyer out of Madison. Bruno had previously represented himself, attempted to hire another attorney last fall and then had been appointed a pair of public defenders. Bruno, facing first degree intentional homicide charges in the Nov. 27 stabbing death of Kim Gaida, is set for his final pre-trial appearance May 21. He didn’t speak during his

seven minute appearance, and Schulenburg entered a plea of not guilty. B r u n o fa c e s a potential for life in prison after he told police he stabbed Gaida multiple times after an argument. According to the criminal complaint in his case, he said he walked Bruno away after stabbing Gaida multiple times while on the ground, then returned and broke off the knife he was using in Gaida’s neck. Schulenburg was appointed to the case April 4, after Bruno wrote a letter to judge William Hanrahan requesting he fire his appointed public defenders, Tracey Lencioni and Colleen Taylor. “I’m asking you to appoint a private attorney on the grounds that my best interests are not in the public defender’s office,”

Former Common Council president Tim Swadley was sworn-in as the city’s mayor for the next four years Tuesday, April 17, during the council’s 2018 reorganization meeting. Dist. 3 Ald. Tom Majewski was elected council president and Dist. 3 Ald. Regina Hirsch as vice-president. Two new alders were also sworn-in, Phil Caravello in Dist. 2 and Nicole Wiessinger in Dist. 4, while incumbents Hirsch and Dist. 1 Ald. Sid Boersma were also sworn-in for three-year terms. Caravello succeeds former alder Mike Engelberger and Wiessinger takes over for Scott Truehl. Neither

Engelberger nor Truehl sought another term in the April 3 election. The council unanimously approved Swadley’s appointments to various committees and the Redevelopment Authority, which again will have Hirsch and Dist. 1 Ald. Denise Duranczyk as representatives from the council. During discussion before electing Majewski council president, Ald. Matt Bartlett (Dist. 4) nominated Ald. Greg Jenson (Dist. 3) for the leadership position and Ald. Kathleen Tass Johnson (Dist. 2) nominated Hirsch, who declined the nomination, saying she didn’t have the time to serve as council president. Majewski defeated Jenson on 7-3, with one abstention. Boersma nominated Jenson as vice-president and Majewski nominated Hirsch, who prevailed with six votes to Jenson’s five. Contact Bill Livick at bill. livick@wcinet.com

Krcma leaves Planning Commission after 11 years The Planning Commission has lost one of its members. Longtime commissioner Todd Krcma resigned Friday, April 13. The email he sent to then-Mayor Donna Olson, new Mayor Tim Swadley, planning and development director Rodney Scheel and zoning administrator Michael Stacey said it is “effective immediately.” It does not give an explanation. “I have spent nearly 11 years on the commission, and it has been my pleasure

to serve the community in this capacity,” he wrote. “A big thank you goes to mayor Donna Olson and former mayor, the late Helen Johnson, for allowing me to serve as a public member of the commission all these years.” The Common Council planned to discuss the “Planning Commission c o m p o s i t i o n ” Tu e s d a y, according to its agenda.

This past week, the Stoughton Area school board added a new member and chose Frank Sullivan to be its leader. Newcomer Kathleen Hoppe was Sullivan among four b o a r d m e m b e r s s wo r n in Monday night, along with incumbents Yolibeth

Fitzgibbon, Allison Sorg and Frank Sullivan. Board members later unanimously chose Sullivan as president, succeeding Scott Dirks, who did not seek re-election. Joe Freye will remain as vice-president. Fitzgibbon nominated Allison Sorg as a vice-presidential candidate, but she declined, a n d wa s r e - e l e c t e d a s treasurer, Fitzgibbon was re-elected as clerk, and Steve Jackson was elected to succeed Sullivan as deputy clerk. Sullivan, who served on

the board from 2013-15, was appointed to the board in October 2017 from a group of three candidates to fill a position opened when Sara Rabe resigned. The parent of two Stoughton High School graduates and two current district students, he is the assistant attorney general in the Wisconsin Department of Justice, heading the Medicaid Fraud and Elder Abuse unit. Sullivan told the Hub on Tuesday he’s “really looking forward to working with this group.”

“Anybody who decides to run for school board does it from a place of wanting to help the community, because you feel you have something valuable to offer, and that the community is more important to you than your free time,” he said. “I’ve always enjoyed working with the people on the board who are coming from that place.” Email Unified Newspaper Group reporter Scott De Laruelle at scott.delaruelle@wcinet.com.

Tarpinian steps down from board First elected in 2010, was longest-serving board member SCOTT DE LARUELLE Unified Newspaper Group

The “new” nine-member Stoughton Area school board will be operating one member short for at least a month. D o n n a Ta r p i n i a n resigned from the board April 17. The board’s longest-serving member told the Hub on Tuesday she needed to devote more time to caring for her mother, who has Alzheimer’s disease. “I’ve been dealing with that for the last year to 18 months, and it’s just gotten really tough to balance everything,” she said. “I felt like it was a good time

to finally step away.” New board president Frank Sullivan said the board will advertise the position for two weeks, with hopes of appointing someone at the May 21 board meeting. If there is more than one candidate, they will give a presentation in front of the board, who will choose one candidate. “The sooner, the better,” Sullivan said of bringing on a new member. “It’s a good time to bring a new member on, just because the summer’s a little more low-key and you have more of a chance to catch them up. “ We ’r e l o o k i n g f o r someone with demonstrated commitment to the Stoughton schools and community who is interested in and capable of engaging in the hard questions we’re going to face.”

Tarpinian, who said she’s “not ruling anything out” in terms of a future return to the board, said she’s “really going to miss it.” “It’s going to be tough,” she said. “I’ve made a lot of contacts around the state and with other school districts in the county; I’m really going to miss that networking opportunity. I really worked hard at that job, (but) it was just getting increasingly more difficult

for me.” S u p e r i n t e n d e n t Ti m Onsager thanked Tarpinian “for her years of service and her dedication” Monday. Tim Bubon will succeed Tarpinian as legislative committee chair and policy committee chair. A former vice president of the board who was first elected in 2010, Tarpinian’s term expires in April 2019.

paying for his private attorney, as Schulenburg did not respond to phone calls by the time of the Hub’s Tuesday deadline. Bruno had requested a public defender at least two times before Lencioni and Taylor were appointed – he had been denied because of the amount of his assets, and the Hub obtained his financial analysis after Bruno sent it in a letter to Hanrahan. The analysis explains the cost of counsel for a first-degree homicide charge is $17,500, and if the individual has more than that among bank account balances, assets and spousal income, he or she is ineligible for a public defender. Three vehicles in Bruno’s name originally had disqualified him from a public defender, but after pleading multiple times in court for an attorney, he eventually was appointed Lencioni and Taylor.

I think and believe we have an irreparable relationship.” Bruno also asked for the judge to “dismiss all charges for violation of my 14th Amendment right to due process,” explaining that he would not have known “if the deceased and my (deceased) grandmother hadn’t informed me.” He had written earlier in the same letter that his grandmother was deceased and the other deceased person he referenced was “in my case.” After attempting to represent himself in November, Bruno was given a competency hearing March 5, which determined he understood the court proceedings well enough to continue.

Bruno felt he wasn’t being properly represented, he explained in multiple letters to Hanrahan, explaining that the public defender’s office had made multiple mistakes while handling his information, including not promptly sharing transcripts and not providing copies of his financial analysis he claimed would have changed his legal strategy. “T. Lencioni, on March 28, had me view my interview with detective Brandon Hill,” Bruno wrote in another letter filed April 5. “Some of my statement had been muted while recording.

Our collective self-rule makes America special

n March I traveled with a group 17 eighth-grade students from St. Ann Catholic School. We spent a week in Washington, D.C. Washington is amazing because you can see and tour the buildings of all three branches of government. These are places that all have a huge effect on our daily lives – the legislative, executive and judicial branches. Our lawmakers, our enforcers, and constitutional interpreters all come together Budnar in Washington for the good of all the country. Watching the eighth-graders reminded me that what happens in our country also happened in my family. I have five siblings. When I was a child, my parents created the family rules. They were the legislative, the executive, and the judicial branches of the family. Sometimes I liked the rules, sometimes I didn’t. But either way, I had to follow them. As the legislative branch, for example, my parents had a rule that we could not use the words “shut up.” This meant I could not tell my four sisters or my brother to shut up. I could say, “Be quiet, please.”

Proud of your pet? We thought so.

As the executive branch, they enforced the rules. If I did tell one of my siblings to shut up, I had a pay a fine of 10 cents. My parents would watch me put the coin into what my sibling and I came to call the “shut up” box. They also fulfilled the judicial role. If I thought something was not fair, I could bring it up to them and they would decide on it. I did appeal to them on a few occasions in which I was tricked into saying shut up or when I did not mean it – as in “close the garage door,” rather than “stop talking.” My parents would then make a judgment as to whether the “shut up” rule was broken or not. Now that I am an adult, I choose rules for myself. I have been given these rules from my parents, my church and my country, but I also choose them for myself. One of the most important rules I have chosen for myself is to be honest. I do not deceive others, I do not deceive myself. I am my own legislative branch. I create this for my life. I am also my own executive branch. I self-monitor and self-enforce the rule. If I break it, I look to catch myself and say, I am being dishonest, I need to take another look to see what is really true. I correct myself. I apologize and speak what is true.

I am my own judicial branch, as well. If I think I am being unscrupulous, maybe not living the honesty rule correctly, I reassert it. I make sure I am being fair to myself and to everyone else, as well. This makes me the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of my life, just as my parents were to me. But that’s different from how our country operates, where the branches are not any one person. In a way, they are in all of us, together. We live in community as one country. Together, we unite to make the legislative, executive and judicial branches for all of us. We are blessed because we all have an influence on the laws our country creates, on the laws we live by. We are blessed because we have an influence on the way the laws are enforced on us. We are blessed because we have an influence on how the laws are interpreted based on the Constitution. As I toured in Washington with the eighth-grade class, I grew in appreciation of our county and in how I join all citizens in making us the Land of the Free. The Rev. Randy Budnar is parish priest at St. Ann’s Catholic Church.

Campaigns: Swadley raised $4,531 from 24 donors Continued from page 1 as exempt because of an intention to spend less than $2,000. Franklin James, who lost his District 2 race, took a low-budget approach, raising zero and spending $126. Incumbent Regina Hirsch and Dorann Bradford had lopsided spending in District 3. Hirsch raised $1,384 but spent only $294, while Bradford spent more ($1,314) than she had raised ($847) by the deadline. Dennis Pince, meanwhile, spent almost as much on his unsuccessful District 4 campaign ($1,803) as McGeever spent on his mayoral campaign, and he raised threefourths as much. The two mayoral campaigns engaged mostly in local advertising, with the typical mailers, yard signs and newspaper ads. Each spent around $100 for voter information and around $1,000 on signs. Swadley spent around $1,000 on flyers and postage, and McGeever spent nearly $800 on newspaper advertising.

hearing that fall, along with her sister, and Dane County Circuit Court Judge William Hanrahan had harsh words for the convicted killer. “Be clear about this, whatever thrill, whatever twisted gratification came with being a stalker, a rapist, a murderer, there is a cost and it is a big cost,” the judge told O’Kroley, according to Channel3000.

– Habakkuk 2:20 NIV St.Ignatius,the founder of the Jesuits, advised the following for novices seeking to enter his order:“All should take the most diligent care to guard the gates of the senses—particularly the eyes, ears, and tongue.”Guarding the senses and not allowing them free rein is good advice for all of us, not just novices embarking on holy orders. One way that we can do this is to maintain “custody of the eyes,”meaning that we should not allow our eyes to look anywhere we please, giving idle curiosity the power to direct our gaze. There are many things that it would be better not to see.We simply cannot un-see things once we have seen them, and some things get burned into our souls, as it were. Parents do well to teach their children restraint of the eyes. As a former teacher of teachers used to say, you must first get control of your students’ eyes.But not just the eyes,for what we hear and touch and what goes into and out of our mouths also leaves its imprint on our souls. There is a silence of the eyes as well as of the ears, and even a silence of the heart and soul.We do well to remember that God often speaks in a whisper, and if we are surrounded by noise and distractions we might never hear,see or taste the goodness of the Lord. – Christopher Simon

Chamber of Commerce depot Built in 1913 as a railroad passenger depot, the building that’s now home to the Stoughton Chamber of Commerce was designated a Local Landmark in 1992 and listed on the State Register of Historic Places in 1997. It was closed in the 1970s after falling into disrepair. The building, located at 532 E. Main St., was restored by Stoughton Historical Society volunteers in 1990, a project that Hedstrom participated in. “I was really glad when we were able to save it,” he said. “I think it was Mayor Pfundheller who said it was like a red-letter day when that building got turned over to the city. But a lot of effort went into cleaning that up and restoring it,

Stoughton’s City Hall has been the center of local government and entertainment since its construction in 1900-01. It was designed as a three-and-a-half storey red brick building in 1900. Along with arched entryways and windows, the building’s key features included a clock tower and second-floor auditorium with a third-floor balcony. According to Wisconsin Historical Society records, the city borrowed $47,000 and dedicated another $10,000 to construct the building at 381 E. Main St. The building, dedicated in February 1901, was constructed to house city offices and the city auditorium. When it was built, the second-floor theater was one of only six upper-floor auditoriums in the United States, according to a narrative that was written when the building was listed on the State Register of Historic Places in 1993. It was listed on the National Register the following year and designated a Local Landmark in May 1988. Earlier that decade, Mayor Doug Pfundheller and a few members of the Common Council “were talking about tearing the whole thing down and building a new city hall,” recalled Jon Lewis. “But the council majority said this is too important a piece of architecture to just tear it down and build something else.” Steve Fortney, an alder at the time, remembered a decision to “save City Hall” being nearly unanimous. “A lot of us on the council took exception to the idea of demolition,” he said. Fortney said the first steps

The Stoughton Area Youth Center has not yet been given Local Landmark status, but the Landmarks Commission played a role in persuading its former owner, Stoughton Trailers, to preserve the building. Constructed as a warehouse in 1887-88 and owned by several tobacco companies, the building was on the verge of demolition in the 1980s when Hedstrom approached owner Don Wahlin about saving the structure. “They were taking the slate roof off the building and planning to take down the rest of the building when I went down there,” he recalled. “The commission worked with the Downtown Revitalization Association and we had a design committee, and the chair drew

If historic buildings tell the story of a community, a good place to start is with the Luke Stoughton House. Built in 1847-48, it was originally located at 130 E. Main St. and was moved to the corner of Forrest Street and Jefferson Street in 1875, and moved again 99 years later to its present location at 315 Division St. Luke and Eliza Stoughton lived in the house until 1856, when they built a larger home on Page Street. The couple owned the building until Luke’s death in 1874. In 1974, the house was threatened with demolition for a commercial expansion. The Luke Stoughton Society formed that year with the mission of preserving the building. The society rented the home for two decades before the Stoughton School District gave the house to the Stoughton Historical Society in 2000. Since acquiring the

Local Landmarks, which bestows a level of protection and also is symbolic of the city’s pride in its history and historic buildings. That pride and preservation ethic has been a factor in the debate over the Highway Trailer complex, which lingered in limbo for a year until the Common Council decided in February to demolish most of it. Some s a y t h e 1 0 0 - p l u s - y e a rold building known as the blacksmith shop should be preserved and repurposed, while others would prefer to tear it down and give the riverfront redevelopment area its part of a clean slate. Either way, there’s no doubt Stoughton has a history of refurbishing some of its iconic older buildings. This attention to its past

number of historic homes and buildings in the city,” said Stoughton Landmarks Commission member Alan Hedstrom. His colleague on the commission, chair Peggy Veregin, who administers the National Register of Historic Places for the Wisconsin Historical Society, agreed. She said preserving historic structures has helped Stoughton retain its authenticity. “Our historic buildings let people know they are in Stoughton – that you are somewhere,” Veregin wrote in an email to the Hub. “Without them, we could be anywhere. With them, we have identity.”

Stoughton City Hall and Opera House, 381 E. Main St. were to replace a leaky roof and the clocktower, which had been removed in the 1960s. “We did not even have to hold a fundraiser,” Fortney recalled. “Money just poured in to save City Hall.” Around the same time, resident John Vorndran stepped forward to organize and lead a group of volunteers dedicated to restoring the Opera House. While City Hall took a few years to repair, the Opera House would take much longer. Its rise from relative obscurity to first-rate performing arts center began with its centennial celebration in February 2001. The event not only marked 100 years since the venue’s opening but also was the crowning of the restoration effort that began in 1983. The venue had slid into such disrepair that it was closed to the public in 1955.

Back then, it was a nice auditorium but had been painted a dull gray and showed none of the resplendent color it wears today. By the early 1980s, the neglected space had become dirty and dingy, with broken-out windows, a leaky roof and stacks of old files covered with tarps amid pigeon droppings. Vorndran and other volunteers formed the Friends of the Opera House in 1983 and raised $1.75 million in private donations to completely restore the Victorian auditorium. The Jeffries Foundation of Janesville provided a $300,000 grant for the project, while volunteers donated their skill and labor to install a new heating and air conditioning system, new lighting and a new sound system. — Bill Livick

Perhaps even more important has been the gradual buyin and participation from staff as PBIS has evolved in recent years. “At first, people were kind of, ‘Whoa, what’s this all about, what are we doing here?’ – rewarding kids for their positive behavior was different,” Ashmore said. “But every year I’ve been a part of PBIS, teachers have really gotten on board with the fact that those consistent behavior expectations are important for kids. It’s good to have everybody talking the same and doing the same things in their classrooms – when people talk the same language, it really does help the behavioral climate.” Link Crew co-adviser Eric Smith said some teachers were concerned about students teaching lessons students, but “once they witness the mentors in action, it is great to see the connection that the leaders are making with the freshman students.”

Learning process Ashmore leads a team of around 10 educators that gets together once or twice a month to review data and refocus programming as needed. “We take a look at possibly

doing some different behavioral themes in the building to help support a positive behavioral climate here,” he told the Hub last week. Every summer, the group gets together for some bigger-picture planning and preparing for the upcoming year by looking at the behavioral data from the year before. Programming is adjusted if needed, Ashmore said, like guidelines on students’ use of technology. He said proper use of technology is “off and away in the classroom” unless directed by the teacher, but some students have needed some reteaching and establishment of “parameters.” “That’s one area that’s trending up a little bit in the wrong way,” he said. On the other hand, suspension rates have gone down in the last four years, Ashmore said, and a mentorship program for students struggling with behavior issues is helping out. “Teachers have offered their time to really build that relationship and work with kids, and I’m particularly proud of that piece of PBIS, because we’re helping them,” he said. “And it’s needed. We have a lot of kids that have a lot of different needs – everybody comes to school with something on their plate. “If we can provide support for those kids to keep them here at school and toward graduation, that’s definitely your goal.” Email Unified Newspaper Group reporter Scott De Laruelle at scott.delaruelle@wcinet.com.

SENIOR CARE

MORTGAGE BANKING

Q. My elderly loved one wants to stay in her home, what can I do? A. Elders and their families are benefitting more and more from in-home care, a safe and effective alternative for senior care.

Stephen Rudolph FACHE, CSA

Most elders prefer to live in the safety and comfort of their own homes where they are most familiar. However, when routine tasks and activities become difficult or impossible because of aging, elders may need consistent care. There are several options for families who are unable to properly care for their elderly-loved ones, including assisted living, nursing homes or other similar care facility and at-home care. Comfort Keepers®, the premier in-home care service in the area provides high-quality, respectful elder care to elders who wish to remain as independent as possible in the comfort of their own homes. Whether it be simple housekeeping chores or Activities of Daily Living (Bathing and Grooming, dressing and undressing, meal preparation and feeding, transfers and ambulation, continence care, memory care and stimulation), Comfort Keepers gives an elder’s family a hand, allowing them to concentrate on work and other responsibilities. Family members can experience peace of mind, knowing that their elderly loved-ones are in good hands, those of Comfort Keepers. Comfort Keepers can also partner with skilled health care agencies to provide post-hospital support to provide wound care, speech, physical and occupational therapy, disease education, nursing care and pain management. A Comfort Keepers intake nurse will visit the elder in their home, speaking with them and their family to determine exactly what kind of care is required. Service packages are tailored to fit the needs of the elder. If your loved one requires assistance at home, contact Comfort Keepers.

Q. If I’m purchasing a home, should I get pre-approved for a loan before I find a property?

Kathleen C. Aiken

A. Yes. Getting pre-approved lets you know how much home you can buy before you go house hunting. Plus, it lets realtors and sellers know that you’re a serious buyer because your financing is already arranged—which can be an advantage when making an offer. 117 King St. • Stoughton, WI 53589 608-873-6755 kathy.aiken@associatedbank.com

The Stoughton boys tennis team beat a short-handed Madison East team and dropped three other duals last weekend at the Eastside Invitational. The host Purgolders had just six players Friday, so the Vikings played the usual four singles matches but only at No. 1 doubles.

Stoughton girls track and field placed its 4x800 relay and three individuals in the 3,200 Friday at the Sun Prairie Invitational. The Vikings finished 14th out of 16 teams with 11 points. Sun Prairie won the meet with 142. Wausau East (87) and Brookfield East (68) took second and third, respectively. Coach Deanna Arnold said the girls want to perform well and show the conference they can compete with them, but gaining meet experience is just as valuable this early in the season. “We are a younger team, but I think we are a team with a lot of talent,” Arnold said. “So the biggest thing is going to these meets and gaining experience and learning about the event – figuring out how to run a good 400 or how to pop off that good long jump.” The weather has hurt some of that prep time. Cold weather and canceled meets due to snow have been common occurrences in April, and Arnold said there are girls battling through injuries so far in 2018. Friday, distance runner Anna Wozniak had to sit out due to shin splints and several other girls have been battling leg injuries. “I think the girls have battled through those challenges, and they are staying positive knowing the good weather is right around the corner,” Arnold said. Sophomore Grace Jenny, junior Margaret Ross and freshman Maddie Schneider finished fifth, sixth and eighth, respectively in the 3,200. Jenny had a PR of 11 minutes, 52.17 seconds. Ross had a season-best time of 11:53.18, and Schneider finished in 12:11.55.

Sun Prairie junior Maddie Thompson won the event in 11:16.95. Juniors Abby Kittleson, Renee Anderson and Alex Ashworth and Ross also took home a sixth-place in the 4x800 relay in 10:28.41. Sun Prairie (Claire Darmstadter, Janelle Schultz, Kaylan Marshall and Kate Kopotic) won in 10:01.68. “(Our distance runners) are athletes I can always rely on to perform really well,” Arnold said. Junior Audrey Killian just missed out on placing, taking ninth in the shot put (30 feet, 9 inches), and sophomore Micah Zaemisch also fell just short with a ninth in the pole vault (8-0). Arnold said that Killian has been consistent and usually does finish in the top eight to score points. Junior Chloe Silbaugh also adds depth to the throws, though she didn’t get to throw Friday due to field conditions canceling the discus. Arnold added that newcomers junior Megan Breuch and freshman Mikendra DeBruin also bring depth to the position to possibly score points later in the year. “That is what we need to win meets, just snagging a point here

Freshmen showing promise early this season

Coach Deanna Arnold said she has been impressed with how well the underclassmen have looked early this season. “That is a lot of really good freshmen, and I am really excited to see what the program is in two years from now when the freshmen and sophomores are upperclassmen and know a lot about their events,” Arnold said. “I think it is going to be a very good team.” Freshmen Ellie Trieloff (jumps, relays, 200, 400), Gina Owen (distance), Maddie Schneider (distance), Piper Jensen (jumps), Mikendra DeBruin (throws) and Savy Burroughs (hurdles, jumps) are just a few names that have been showing quick development in their events. There is still room for growth, however. Arnold said Trieloff has the skill to potentially be as good as graduate Aly Weum and that Jensen has potential to jump past 16 feet by the end of the year. “With every event in track, there is a huge learning curve,” Arnold said. “It takes a while to get used to the strategy of your event, whether it is the field events or the technical events.”

Vikings finish 11th out of 24 teams at Badger invite ANTHONY IOZZO Assistant sports editor

Stoughton traveled to Geneva National Golf Club Monday for the Lake Geneva Badger invite and finished tied for 11th out of 24 teams. The Vikings and Waukesha West both shot 374s. Lake Geneva Badger won the meet with a 324, and Wilmot Union followed with a 335. Waunakee’s varsity reserve team finished third with a 337. Junior Jack Gardner led the Vikings with an 86. Gardner shot a 40 on the front nine.

Junior Dane Sutton was next with a 95, and junior Drew Anderson followed with a 96. Senior Tyler Anderson finished the scoring with a 97. Badger’s Blake Wisdom was the overall medalist with a 73. Westosha Central’s Paul Lynch and Platteville’s Cade Rohrbach were tied for second with 77s.

Junior Carter Hellenbrand started in his first varsity meet and shot a 108. “It is to be expected with an inexperienced team with little practice time due to the weather,”

coach Stephen Stokes said. “We are definitely getting better each meet. Today was just a mild setback, but we are definitely showing progress moving forward.” Edgewood won the meet with a 325, and Oregon took second with a 331. Stoughton was without its usual No. 3 golfer, Sutton, who has been battling a wrist injury. After playing through it Monday, Sutton’s wrist was sore Tuesday, and he decided to sit out the meet.

Baseball: Stoughton splits doubleheader with nonconference Reedsburg Continued from page 9 afternoon, losing 18-4 in five innings in Game 1 and winning 19-3 in five innings in Game 2. Coach Jeremy Dunnihoo said there were some ups and downs throughout the day and that Stoughton (2-4 overall, 1-3 Badger South Conference) has to even it out as they get more opportunities on the field. Part of the trouble was losing senior Noah Schafer, who was supposed to start the first game against Reedsburg. A collision in the outfield during the Watertown game forced Schafer to sit out the rest of the day with a potential concussion. Schafer was still in the protocol as of Monday evening, and Dunnihoo said he is unsure of when he might be able to return. “It was tough enough to have three games in one day, but to be missing a starter kind of set us back a little bit more,” Dunnihoo said. In the final game of the day, Stoughton finished with 13 hits. “The bats came alive,” Dunnihoo said. “We put a lot of good swings on the ball, and we were patient.”

Watertown 10, Stoughton 7 Stoughton outscored Watertown in the final three innings, but the Goslings jumped out to an 8-0 lead by the fourth inning and held off the Vikings 10-7. Senior pitcher Trevor Tietz dominated Stoughton’s hitters through four scoreless innings, allowing two hits and a walk and striking out seven for Watertown (4-2, 3-0). But the Vikings’ bats came to life in the bottom of the fifth. “I was not pleased with how we started,” Dunnihoo said. “The third inning was a little bit of a flashback to how we played last year, where we were giving extra outs and not throwing strikes. As bad as it looked like we’re playing, they bounced back in that game and put up four runs in the fifth and three more in the seventh. That gave us a shot down the stretch against a good Watertown team.” Senior Brock Wanninger was hit by a pitch to start the inning, and senior

Both runners moved to second and third on the throw to get Zimmerman at first base. After a fly out, Wanninger scored on a wild pitch, and senior Saxton Shore singled home Zimmerman to make it 8-2. Senior Brady Schipper later blasted a 2-run home run over the left-center field wall on a fastball that stayed up in his wheelhouse. The Goslings tacked on a few more runs, but Stoughton kept on fighting in the bottom of the seventh, scoring three more runs. Senior Riese Miller and Shore (2-for-4) singled to put two on with none out, and both runners advanced to second and third on a passed ball. Junior Kadin Milbauer then knocked home Miller on a sacrifice fly, and Schipper (3-for-4) followed with an RBI single to score Shore. “Watertown looks to be the top team in the conference right now, so it was good to close that game with some positives on the offensive end,” Dunnihoo said. Senior Dillon Nowicki later doubled home Schipper, but that was the end of the offense. Nowicki took the loss. He allowed six earned runs on five hits and five walks, and he hit a batter.

Senior Tommy McClain finished sixth in the shot put Friday at the Sun Prairie Invitational with a throw of 47 feet, 3 inches.

Boys track: Vikings host quad Continued from page 9 with 98 points, and Bay Port was second with 86. Sun Prairie took third with 64. “I would love to have competition like this a little bit later and a little warmer so everyone has their best possible days, but I think this early in the year, it is nice to see how we stack up,” Kramolis said. Senior Sam McHone had the best day for the Vikings, but he also had to deal with persistent leg cramps that hurt his times. He still took second in the 100 in 11.07 seconds, finishing behind Brookfield East senior Morris Seaton (11.05). McHone also took second in the 200 with a season-best time of 22.69, finishing behind Pewaukee senior David Young (22.59). Kramolis said that, if healthy, McHone is probably going under 11 seconds in the 100 and the low 22s in the 200, which would have been enough to get him wins instead of runner-ups. “It was a confidence boost knowing that with all the wrong things that were happening to him, he still had a very good day,” Kramolis said. Senior Sean McLaury took home fourth- and sixthplace finishes in the 800 and 400, respectively. McLaury had a season-best time of 2:04.47 in the 800. Kramolis said McLaury was boxed in early in the race, and he was never able to get into his usual rhythm. Kramolis said McLaury could have dropped two to three seconds in the 800, and he is hoping on McLaury going under two minutes later in the year. McLaury also ran his first 400 of the season and finished in 53.35. Young (51.35) won the event. Senior Tommy McClain took sixth in the shot put with a throw of 47 feet, 3 inches, Kramolis said McClain’s best throw was solid considering he was fighting through a back injury and unusual conditions at the meet.

She said she wanted the girls to learn how to move the ball from the defense to the midfield and use the team’s speed to create opportunities with the forwards. That was evident in several goals Saturday. Senior midfielder forward Jackie Smith had a penalty kick goal, but it was her passes on two other goals that showed off Kittleson’s game plan. Smith found junior midfielder/forward Megan Adams with a cross in the 82nd minute, and Adams finished the opportunity to make it 5-0. In the first half, Smith found junior defender Hannah Wirag open by the net, and Wirag buried the shot in the 23rd minute. Junior forward Peighton Trieloff added a goal by speeding through the midfield and knocking in a shot in the 63rd minute, and Adams started the offense in the 10th minute with a shot from about 20 yards out. “That is something that we always needed to do,” Kittleson said. “We have some really great build-up, but we have never been able to capitalize.
