Facing uphill battles at the state meet with average seeds in above-average fields, the two Chisago Lakes track and field representatives at the state meet didn't stand a chance against two new record-holders.
With bulldozers plowing through mounds of dirt, and jackhammers piledriving through slabs of cement, the new Chisago Lakes football stadium project moves toward reality.
Throughout day one of the track and field meet, the occasional burst of sun was quickly subdued by the dark, fast-moving clouds that produced a heavy rain in the middle of the day.
After the Wildcats lost their opening game in the section tournament, they won five games in a row to make it to the section championship game against Forest Lake.
Personal best performances by senior Brenna Coyle and junior Lindsey Fowler-Wacholz earned them each a second-place finish and a trip to the state track tournament at last week's Section 7AA Championship held at Elk River High School.
Some Wildcat athletes continue to show remarkable consistency this season. Brenna Coyle, Lindsey Fowler-Wacholz and Sam Genung came through with first place finishes at the North Branch Invitational last Thursday, May 22.
