Track and Field 

Preble Track and Field had a tremendous season with extremely dedicated and hard-working athletes. Aside from winning meets and moving on in sectionals and state, the team celebrates its success with green and gold standards.

Green and gold standards are goals, times, heights, jumps, distances, etc. that athletes work towards reaching. This year, there were 41 green standards met by the boys team and 42 green standards met by the girls team. Reaching the gold standard for the boys were Eli DeBraske and Nate Nelson in the 100m dash, Eli DeBraske in the 200m dash, Nick Becker in the 400m dash, Garrison Willems in the 800m and 1600m run, Caleb Katers in shot put, Camian McGregor in discus, Eli DeBraske in long jump, Josh Hurley and Augustus Counard Ciechanowski in pole vault, and Ja’Donn Potter-Kanyanta in high jump.

• Cirena Taylor-Marquardt- long jump, triple jump

Boys Golf

The boys golf team had a fantastic season this year! There were many successes for the boys. Some major accomplishments go out to Patrick Kennedy who earned 2nd team all conference honors. He finished the season with a conference scoring average if 39.88. Patrick also added his name to the prestigious list of Match Play Champions.

Alec Reichwald also qualified as an individual for the WIAA Sectional at Fox Valley.

There were many other wonderful performances from the boys this season. Great work and way to represent the Hornets!

Girls Soccer

The girls soccer team didn’t just play well this season, they also engaged in many fulfilling and fun activities!

The Varsity team got to bond at Urban Battlefields, they participated in yoga to prepare for upcoming games, they hosted a brat fry, and helped Americorps plant trees just outside of Green Bay. The team also worked together with the Preble Key Club to collect items needed for Foster the Village. Foster The Village is a community organization that supports our local foster parents and the children they serve and welcome into their homes.

It’s wonderful to see our athletes making a difference in our community and having fun while doing so!

Softball 

The girls softball team had a great season with many accomplishments! They were named the WIAA Regional Champs after winning their game against Pulaski with a score of 11-1. These girls are 2021 & 2022 back to back Regional Champs! Brooke Hock and Katie Geeydoshek combined to pitch a two-hitter with eight strikeouts. The 12 hit attack against the Raiders was led by Ava DeBaker with three hits.  Ashley Wolfe and Sam Foytik also had two hits each.

The Hornets then moved onto sectionals to take on Hortonville for the Sectional Semi-Final at Otto Miller Park on Tuesday, May 31. Unfortunately, it was a tough (1-7) loss in the sectional semi-final game. However, the Hornets still had a wonderful season with 18 Shutout victories, 245 runs scored and ONLY gave up 34 runs (WI games only), back-to-back 2021 & 2022 FRCC Conference Champs, and back-to-back 2021 & 2022 Regional Champs. The 2022 final season record was 24-5.

Way to go, girls!
