USM girls tennis, Arrowhead boys track teams of year at Milwaukee High School Sports Awards
The University School of Milwaukee girls tennis team and the Arrowhead boys track and field team were named the teams of the year Friday at the Milwaukee High School Sports Awards show, presented by Festival Foods.
In all, 37 awards were handed out at the show, which honored athletes, coaches and teams from the entire area.
For the second straight season, the University School of Milwaukee took home the Division 2 state girls team tennis title under head coach Matt Flack. This past fall marked the 11th title in program history, with the Wildcats sweeping the individual singles, doubles and team titles. Girls tennis player of the year recipient Angela Wang won the singles crown, while Isabel Werner and Mia Darr captured the doubles title. The team won six of seven matches against Xavier for the second straight year in the final to win the team title the following weekend. It marked the first time since the WIAA went to two divisions that a Division 2 program swept all three titles.
Arrowhead boys track won a historic fourth straight WIAA Division 1 state title this spring, combining with its girls program to become the first D1 school to take boys and girls titles in the same year. Senior Logan Hicks led individual performers with state-record times in the 110- and 300-meter hurdles. Arrowhead also shined in the relay events, winning the 400 and 800 relays. Presley Bencz, Ryan Heiman and Jackson Schulz set the table in those relays for Harper Hughes to anchor. In the 400, Hughes replaced injured teammate Sam Vargas, who was also a critical component of the run to state. Dominic Burg, Remington Landmann, Tyler Heiman and John Kubisch also contributed podium finishes in a true team effort to bring home the four-peat for Arrowhead.
The Milwaukee High School Sports Awards show is part of the USA TODAY High School Sports Awards, the largest high school sports recognition program in the country. The show was produced with the support of UScellular, Boundless Adventures, Golfweek and USA Today Sports.
