CEDAR FALLS, Iowa -- Thirty-three of Wisconsin’s best senior track and field athletes bid adieu to their high school careers on Saturday, June 14, at the Midwest Senior Spotlight Track and Field Meet in Cedar Falls, Iowa. The invitation-only All-Star meet pits the best seniors of Wisconsin vs. their counterparts from Iowa, Illinois, and Nebraska. This is the fifth year the meet has been contested, and the fourth year Team Wisconsin has participated.
Shining the brightest for Team Wisconsin on Saturday afternoon was Amanda Ganser (Sauk Prairie H.S.) and Luke Hoenecke (Winneconne H.S.), who were selected as the female and male Most Outstanding Performer for the Wisconsin contingent. Both were multiple event champions, and both etched their names in the meet record books.
Hoenecke won the 400m dash, and ran the 400m leg of the Distance Medley relay which obliterated the existing meet record. Hoenecke teamed with Brookfield Central’s Jon Doble (200), Port Washington’s Joel Zalewski (200), and Brown Deer’s Eric Hatchell (800) to blister the track to the tune of a 3:27.91. Hatchell clocked a stunning 1:53 anchor split, and came back with a 1:56 in the open 800 to take second.
Ganser won the 800m run after anchoring the record-setting 4x800m Relay. She teamed with Cuba City’s Kelly Placke, Wausau East’s Amanda Beard, and Pewaukee’s Krystle Kempen to sneak ahead of the existing record by .05 with a 9:30.89. Placke led off with a smoking 2:18 split, and later finished runner-up to Ganser in the 800.
Team Wisconsin also swept the 3200m run. Dodgeville’s Katrina Rundhaug took the girls’ race ahead of Lake Geneva Badger’s Sarah Konkel, and Middleton’s Ricky Reusser duplicated the feat in the boys’ race while teammate Ben Porter of East Troy was second.
Milwaukee Pius’ Tommie Lee also claimed the 200m dash after finishing runner-up in the 100.

Digital mug shots of all athletes are available, in addition to digital photos of most Team Wisconsin athletes on the awards podium (including a shot of Outstanding Athletes Amanda Ganser and Luke Hoenecke).
