Boys' Soccer hosted the 4th best team in the state, Brookfield East. Germantown battled and defended really well but could not create too many chances to score. Brookfield East scored two impressive goals to win 2-0. On Thursday night, Germantown traveled to Pewaukee in a non-conference game. After a sluggish start, Pewaukee was the first to score in the second half. Germantown picked up their play and started to create more chances. Midway through the second half Paul Mryzglod played a short corner to Evan Buss, received it back, then played a ball to the top of the box where Payton Laabs was waiting to bury in the back of the net. A few minutes later, Nick Leupi carried the ball from the left corner and got to the end line past a few defenders. He then passed the ball back across the goal and found Brendan Fredrickson to score the second goal, to make the game 2-1 Germantown and that was the final score of the game.
The Girls' Varsity team played in Regionals on Thursday and made some history! The team advanced to Sectionals for the first time in program history taking third place in the regional.

The team was led by freshman Remy Lichtig who set a new 18 hole record for the girls program shooting a 77 but it truly was an all around team effort. Junior Emily Laitinen-84, Senior Erin Tonnessen-88, and sophomore Ella Larson-89 all set personal records at the event. Next up for the girls is sectionals on Monday. Best of Luck!

The Germantown Boys’ Cross Country Team competed at the Midwest Invite on Saturday, September 27th at the Blackhawk Golf Course in Janesville, WI. The hot weather made for challenging racing conditions, but the team showed their grit and determination with 12 personal records (PRs) achieved by Germantown athletes.
Matt Momper continued his stellar senior campaign earning a medal with his 30th place finish (out of 390+ athletes) in the Varsity race. Matt also ran to a new PR of 16:16.5 for the 5k distance. Junior Jack Flynn had a huge PR (31+ seconds) and was the team’s 2nd runner clocking a 16:40.4 Vander Hausmann, Monroe Gaskill, and Liam Paruch made up the rest of the scoring 5. Monroe and Ben Armstrong also had PRs in the Varsity Race. The team finished 18th out of 54 teams which beat the meet simulation that predicted the team to finish 20th in the Varsity race.
In the JV White Race, Amay Desai put together an amazing race to lead the team. Amay PR'ed by over 1.5 minutes running a 19:57.4 and earning a medal with his 6th place finish. Jimmy Zheng moved up nicely throughout the race as the 2nd runner finishing 27th and earning a medal. Drew Venne, Landon Leukert, and Dominic Grossi rounded out the scoring 5. Dominic and Mark Flores also earned PRs in the race.
Chase Schellinger PR’ed in the JV Blue Race as Germantown’s top runner. The rest of the scoring five consisted of Zach Prescott, Ethan Galle, Blake Yegge, and Ishaan Singh. Zach, Blake, Ishaan, and Emanuel Santiago also ran PRs in the JV Blue Race. The team finished 24th out of 31 teams.
The team next races on Saturday, October 4th at the Arrowhead Invite at Arrowhead High School.
