Maybe the Best Ever What was the overall impression on the MHS Girl's track and field team of 1988? This question was asked of Coach Howard Jubeck, a veteran in the field of track. His answer, It was a great season!'' He hesitated and then said, One of the best ever at MHS! Wow! That is hard to believe. The MHS girls' practically had a monopoly on the Badger Conference Championship over the previaous seven seasons. In fact, through those seven seasons, they only lost it once and even then, it was close. With all those great teams, how can he single out this one as the best? Well, if Coach Jubeck would have put his money where his mouth is, he would have come out way ahead. The Coach wasn't just spitting out words, he had stats and performances to back them up. Here is a list of some of their accomplishments during the 1988 season. They were undefeated in the conference regular season. They won the Badger Conference meet. Not only did they win, they blew the competition away. The MHS girls scored 153 points. The second place team scored a mere 76 points, half the sum of our team's score. Teh team took first at three big invitationals, including the Platteville relays, the Unique Meet, and the Stoughton Invitational. The MHS Harriers also won regionals. Their biggest accomplishment as a team was their WIAA Sectional Championship. The team was also long on individual performances. Jill Wyttenwyler set a record in the 100 high hurdles. Other records set were: Peggy Shreve in the high jump.Tracy Deininger in the shot put, and the 3200 meter relay team of Dawn Tschudy, Katy Deignan,Trish Bloom, and Ellen Schmitz. The team also had quite a few individual Conference champions. The biggest accomplishments of the season were teh six tracksters who made it to State. They were Tracy Deininger in the shot put, Peggy Shreve, High jump, Shanon Martini and Robin Koning in the 400 meters, and the 1600 meter relay team of Katy Deignan,Ellen Schmitz,Martini, and Koning. 28 Girls'Track ... .
