Middleton and Wisconsin Lutheran both have competitors in 12 events, while Brookfield East has participants in 11 events. Four individual events and three relays return their champions from last year. Senior Daurice Fountain of Madison Memorial accounts for two of the individual events returning a champion. He won both the long jump and 110-meter hurdles last year. In his quest to repeat in both events, he has the top qualifying time in the 110 hurdles at 14.41, and he has the second-furthest mark in the long jump with a qualifying leap of 22-11.5. Senior Trent Nytes of Kaukauna is the returning champion in the high jump. He enters the meet as the favorite to repeat with the best qualifying jump of 6-7. Junior Eric Brown of Wisconsin Lutheran returns to defend his record-shattering victory in the 800 run last season. He set the meet record with a time of 1:51.48. He is the 10th fastest qualifier this year with a time of 1:56.24, more than two seconds off the best qualifying pace. The Green Bay Preble 400 relay, and the Brookfield East 1,600 and 3,200 relays are each racing for a repeat title after winning these respective events in 2013.
DIVISION 1 NOTES - GIRLS: West Bend West is entered in the most events with 15, including relays. Arrowhead, La Crosse Logan, Muskego and Wausau West are next with 11. Kimberly is next in line with participants in 10 events. Six individual events and all four relay teams feature the return of their defending champion. Junior Khadiya Hollingsworth of Brookfield East is the returning champion in the high jump. She possesses the best qualifying height in the field at 5-8, which is inches higher than the next best qualifier. Junior Rayce Albino of New Berlin West is one of three qualifiers to reach 12 feet in the pole vault. She is in pursuit of her second consecutive title in the event. Danielle Riggins of Kenosha Tremper has the qualifying time to consider her the favorite to follow up last seasons title in the 100 hurdles with another gold medal. She enters the meet with a qualifying time of 13.89, the only time under 14 seconds. Senior Talia Spiegelberg of Wisconsin Lutheran is the defending champion in the 800 run. Her qualifying time of 2:17.46 ranks third-best in the event. Senior Jessica Parker of Neenah is attempting to retain the title she won in the 1,600 run last year. She has the third fastest qualifying time this season, seven seconds behind the two fastest qualifiers. The relays attempting to win their third consecutive championship include Milwaukee King in the 400, La Crosse Logan in the 800 and Milwaukee Riverside in the 1,600. Neenah will try to make it four straight State victories in the 3,200 relay.
DIVISION 2 NOTES - BOYS: Seymour will compete in 12 events, including relays, which is the most of any school in the division. Freedom, Little Chute and Monroe are represented in nine events, with Grafton, Lodi and Mount Horeb next with eight. There are five defending individual event champions and three relays attempting to win consecutive titles. In addition, one individual event has the 2012 champion seeking a return to champion status, and one event has last years Division 1 champion moving down into the Division 2 field. Senior Alex Bloom of Seymour is the reigning champion in the high jump. He is in position to win his second straight title in the event with the best qualifying height of 6-8. Senior Cason Cleveland of Edgerton is the returning champion in the pole vault. He qualifies with the fifth-best vault of 14-0, which is seven inches off the top qualifying height. Last years triple jump champion, Sandy Cohen of Seymour, is back for a shot at another title. He enters with a qualifying mark of 45-9.25, which is second-best among all qualifiers in the event. Last years runner-up, junior Djdade Denson of University School has the top qualifying leap at 46-1.5. Junior Ryan Send of Brookfield Academy won the 100 dash last year and returns to the event with a qualifying time of 11.30, which is 10th-best among all qualifiers. Senior Isaiah Lesure of Mount Horeb is the returning champion in the long jump. He enters with the second-best jump among the qualifiers at 22-6.5. Senior Erick Huertas of Grafton won the Division 1 title in the 400 dash last year and has qualified as the swiftest qualifier in the event in Division 2 this season. His qualifying time of 48.61 is more than a second faster than the next fastest competitor. Senior Ethan Moehn of Monroe has sights on returning to the top of the award stand in the 800 run after winning the title in 2012 and finishing runner-up last year. He exceeded his record-setting performance of 2012 last season, but Joseph Hinz of Freedom eclipsed the record by edging Moehn in 2013. Moehn was the Division 2 cross country champion last fall, and he is a member of the Cheesemakers' 3,200 relay, which goes for its fourth straight championship in the event. Moehn would become only the fourth individual to win the same relay four times. Shorewood seeks its third consecutive crown in the 1,600 relay, and Mount Horeb attempts to gain back-to-back glory in the 800 relay.
DIVISION 2 NOTES - GIRLS: Osceola is represented in the most events with 14, including three relays. Hayward, McFarland and Seymour have competitors in nine events, while Jefferson and Shorewood have representation in eight events. There are seven individual events and two relays that have returning champions from 2013 among their qualifiers. Senior Bonnie Draxler of Wrightstown has won the 400 dash and the pole vault the last three years and appears in good position to make it four titles in both those events. If she succeeds, she will become just the third individual to win four championships in two different events. She is also the defending gold medalist in the 100 dash. Draxler is the top qualifier in each of those events with a 12.05 in the 100, 57.46 in the 400 and 13-0 in the pole vault, an event for which she already possesses the State record. Senior Morgan Johnson of Hayward is seeking a second straight title in both the long and triple jumps. Her qualifying jumps in both those events ranks second-best among all the qualifiers. Junior Taylor Stanek of Dodgeville/Mineral Point is the returning champion in the high jump. She has qualified this season at a height of 5-2, which ranks tied for third among qualifiers. Junior Annalese Lamke of Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau will attempt to retain her championship in the shot put. Her qualifying toss of 40-9 is three feet short of the top qualifying toss coming into the meet. The two relays attempting to win back-to-back titles are Lakeside Lutheran in the 800 relay and East Troy in the 3,200 relay.
DIVISION 3 NOTES - BOYS: St. Marys Springs will be competing in the most number of events with 11, including relays. Marathon has competitors in nine events, and Newman Catholic has qualifiers in eight events. Seven individual events and three relays have sights on adding an additional championship in Division 3. Senior Alex Hatlevig of Melrose-Mindoro is the defending champion in both the 100 and 200 dashes. His qualifying times of 10.84 and 22.07, respectively, are the best in each of the events. Senior Nick Zander of McDonell Central is also a returning champion in two events. He won the 800 and 1,600 runs last season and is set up to defend those titles. He has the quickest time in the 800 at 1:59.22 and ran the second-fastest sectional race in the 1,600 at 4:29.16. Senior Zac Webster of Spring Valley is the leading qualifier in the triple jump with a mark of 44-9 after taking the title last season. Junior Jordan Wesner of Princeton/Green Lake won the high jump a year ago, and it appears hes poised to capture the title again this season. He enters the State Meet with a qualifying leap of 6-10, which is four inches higher than the next best qualifier. Senior Darin Lau of Eau Claire Immanuel Lutheran is the fastest qualifier in the 3,200 run by a 26-second margin after winning the event last season. The Hilbert 400 and 800 relays attempt to repeat as champions in those two events, while McDonell Central goes for a second straight championship in the 3,200 relay.
DIVISION 3 NOTES - GIRLS: Cuba City and Regis have athletes competing in 14 events, including relays, to lead the division. Four-time defending champion Edgar has competitors in 11 events, as does Newman Catholic. Both Lourdes Academy and Wild Rose have student-athletes qualified in 10 events. The division features four individual event champions and all four relays back to defend titles. Senior Kennedy Blahnik of Algoma is a three-time champion and record holder in both the shot put and discus. If she wins both events as expected, she will join the short list of competitors to win two events all four years of competition. She has the top qualifying marks of 45-0.25 in the shot and 168-5 in the discus. Senior Jen Wellnitz of Black Hawk is tied for the best qualifying time in the 100 dash after she captured glory by winning the event last season. Junior Betsy Schreier of Cashton is back to defend her title in the triple jump. Her qualifying leap of 35-6 is more than a foot short of the top qualifier in the event. Edgar has won six straight titles in the 1,600 relay dating back to 2008. The Wildcats go for their seventh straight with the second-best qualifying time in the event at 4:09.42. The 3,200 St. Marys Springs relay will attempt to win the event for the third consecutive season. It enters the meet with the best qualifying time of 9:52.54. Defending 800 relay champion Cuba City has the top qualifying time in the event at 1:46.85, and Luther attempts to win its second straight title in the 400 relay.
WHEELCHAIR NOTES: Senior Travis Dring of Sun Prairie is the only defending champion returning to a wheelchair event in either gender. He won the boys 400 race last season, and he has qualified this season with a time of 1:42.81, which ranks fifth among the qualifiers in the event.

She possesses the best qualifying height in the field at 5-8, which is inches higher than the next best qualifier. Junior Rayce Albino of New Berlin West is one of three qualifiers to reach 12 feet in the pole vault. She is in pursuit of her second consecutive title in the event. Danielle Riggins of Kenosha Tremper has the qualifying time to consider her the favorite to follow up last seasons title in the 100 hurdles with another gold medal. She enters the meet with a qualifying time of 13.89, the only time under 14 seconds. Senior Talia Spiegelberg of Wisconsin Lutheran is the defending champion in the 800 run. Her qualifying time of 2:17.46 ranks third-best in the event. Senior Jessica Parker of Neenah is attempting to retain the title she won in the 1,600 run last year.

The relays attempting to win their third consecutive championship include Milwaukee King in the 400, La Crosse Logan in the 800 and Milwaukee Riverside in the 1,600. Neenah will try to make it four straight State victories in the 3,200 relay.
DIVISION 2 NOTES - BOYS: Seymour will compete in 12 events, including relays, which is the most of any school in the division. Freedom, Little Chute and Monroe are represented in nine events, with Grafton, Lodi and Mount Horeb next with eight. There are five defending individual event champions and three relays attempting to win consecutive titles. In addition, one individual event has the 2012 champion seeking a return to champion status, and one event has last years Division 1 champion moving down into the Division 2 field. Senior Alex Bloom of Seymour is the reigning champion in the high jump. He is in position to win his second straight title in the event with the best qualifying height of 6-8. Senior Cason Cleveland of Edgerton is the returning champion in the pole vault. He qualifies with the fifth-best vault of 14-0, which is seven inches off the top qualifying height. Last years triple jump champion, Sandy Cohen of Seymour, is back for a shot at another title. He enters with a qualifying mark of 45-9.25, which is second-best among all qualifiers in the event.

Senior Ethan Moehn of Monroe has sights on returning to the top of the award stand in the 800 run after winning the title in 2012 and finishing runner-up last year. He exceeded his record-setting performance of 2012 last season, but Joseph Hinz of Freedom eclipsed the record by edging Moehn in 2013. Moehn was the Division 2 cross country champion last fall, and he is a member of the Cheesemakers' 3,200 relay, which goes for its fourth straight championship in the event. Moehn would become only the fourth individual to win the same relay four times. Shorewood seeks its third consecutive crown in the 1,600 relay, and Mount Horeb attempts to gain back-to-back glory in the 800 relay.
DIVISION 2 NOTES - GIRLS: Osceola is represented in the most events with 14, including three relays.

There are seven individual events and two relays that have returning champions from 2013 among their qualifiers. Senior Bonnie Draxler of Wrightstown has won the 400 dash and the pole vault the last three years and appears in good position to make it four titles in both those events. If she succeeds, she will become just the third individual to win four championships in two different events. She is also the defending gold medalist in the 100 dash. Draxler is the top qualifier in each of those events with a 12.05 in the 100, 57.46 in the 400 and 13-0 in the pole vault, an event for which she already possesses the State record. Senior Morgan Johnson of Hayward is seeking a second straight title in both the long and triple jumps. Her qualifying jumps in both those events ranks second-best among all the qualifiers. Junior Taylor Stanek of Dodgeville/Mineral Point is the returning champion in the high jump. She has qualified this season at a height of 5-2, which ranks tied for third among qualifiers. Junior Annalese Lamke of Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau will attempt to retain her championship in the shot put. Her qualifying toss of 40-9 is three feet short of the top qualifying toss coming into the meet. The two relays attempting to win back-to-back titles are Lakeside Lutheran in the 800 relay and East Troy in the 3,200 relay.
DIVISION 3 NOTES - BOYS: St. Marys Springs will be competing in the most number of events with 11, including relays.

Senior Alex Hatlevig of Melrose-Mindoro is the defending champion in both the 100 and 200 dashes. His qualifying times of 10.84 and 22.07, respectively, are the best in each of the events. Senior Nick Zander of McDonell Central is also a returning champion in two events. He won the 800 and 1,600 runs last season and is set up to defend those titles. He has the quickest time in the 800 at 1:59.22 and ran the second-fastest sectional race in the 1,600 at 4:29.16. Senior Zac Webster of Spring Valley is the leading qualifier in the triple jump with a mark of 44-9 after taking the title last season. Junior Jordan Wesner of Princeton/Green Lake won the high jump a year ago, and it appears hes poised to capture the title again this season. He enters the State Meet with a qualifying leap of 6-10, which is four inches higher than the next best qualifier. Senior Darin Lau of Eau Claire Immanuel Lutheran is the fastest qualifier in the 3,200 run by a 26-second margin after winning the event last season. The Hilbert 400 and 800 relays attempt to repeat as champions in those two events, while McDonell Central goes for a second straight championship in the 3,200 relay.
DIVISION 3 NOTES - GIRLS: Cuba City and Regis have athletes competing in 14 events, including relays, to lead the division. Four-time defending champion Edgar has competitors in 11 events, as does Newman Catholic. Both Lourdes Academy and Wild Rose have student-athletes qualified in 10 events. The division features four individual event champions and all four relays back to defend titles. Senior Kennedy Blahnik of Algoma is a three-time champion and record holder in both the shot put and discus. If she wins both events as expected, she will join the short list of competitors to win two events all four years of competition. She has the top qualifying marks of 45-0.25 in the shot and 168-5 in the discus. Senior Jen Wellnitz of Black Hawk is tied for the best qualifying time in the 100 dash after she captured glory by winning the event last season. Junior Betsy Schreier of Cashton is back to defend her title in the triple jump. Her qualifying leap of 35-6 is more than a foot short of the top qualifier in the event. Edgar has won six straight titles in the 1,600 relay dating back to 2008. The Wildcats go for their seventh straight with the second-best qualifying time in the event at 4:09.42. The 3,200 St. Marys Springs relay will attempt to win the event for the third consecutive season. It enters the meet with the best qualifying time of 9:52.54. Defending 800 relay champion Cuba City has the top qualifying time in the event at 1:46.85, and Luther attempts to win its second straight title in the 400 relay.
