On Saturday, October 4th the Germantown Boys' Cross Country Team competed at the Arrowhead Invite. Unusually warm temperatures pushed up the race times as athletes battled a large field and the heat.

Jack Flynn, Monroe Gaskill, and Matthias Morrow rounded out the scoring 5. Matthias and Chase Schellinger both had personal records (PRs) in the race.
Zach Prescott, Blake Yegge, Ishaan Singh, Emanuel Santiago, and Amay Desai were the scoring runners for the JV race. The JV squad finished 12th out of 17 teams. Zach, Landon Leukert, Wyatt Privat, and Logan Bengtson all had PRs in the race.

The Girls' Varsity team’s season came to an end on Monday in Sectionals at Old Hickory. The team placed 6 out 8 teams at the Sectional to end a historic season. It was a tough end at a tough course but was a fantastic season. This group set several records throughout the season: low team score 18 holes, low team scramble score, low individual score 18 holes and was the first team to advance to sectionals. Great season ladies!
On Wednesday, Germantown traveled to Wauwatosa West for their second to last conference game. After missing a few early chances, Germantown gave up a gut wrenching goal with 10 second left in the second half. There weren't many chances in the second half, but Tosa West capitalized on a couple of free kicks to score two more goals and win the game 3-0. On Thursday, Germantown hosted Oshkosh West on Senior Night. The boys were ready to have a bounce back game and ended up winning 7-3. Paul Mryzglod led the scoring with 3 goals and 1 assist. Aaron Dethloff, Ryan Angers, and Lewis Ankerson got a goal as well. Next, the team travels to Hamilton for their final conference game with a chance to finish the conference in 3rd place for the first time in program history.
Congratulations to the Girls' Swim and Dive team as both the JV and Varsity won their last dual meet against Wauwatosa West on Thursday night. Varsity won 143 to 41 and JV won 101 to 31.
