Tennis team reverses outcome in 5-2 win

A year older and more experienced, the Hutchinson girls’ tennis team has found a reversal in outcomes of close matches.

Instead of falling 4-3 or 5-2, the Tigers have been able to pull out the close victories, which has led them to a 7-2 mark.

The latest win came Tuesday in a road match at sectional opponent Orono. Hutchinson lost 5-2 a year ago, but came out on the winning end of a 5-2 decision this year.


Volleyball team opens with 3-0 win

Two years ago, a boisterous New Ulm crowd aided the Eagles to nearly steal a match from Hutchinson in five games. Tuesday in the same gym, despite another loud student cheer section, it took only three games for the Tigers to take care of business.

Hutchinson won 25-14, 25-16 and 25-15 in the season opener for both teams.

With five new starters in the lineup for Hutchinson, the team still managed to control the match from start to finish.


Hutchinson 1983: A season of perfection

Twenty-five years ago, Hutchinson claimed its first state football title in school history — a 36-14 win over Park Rapids for the Class A title at the Metrodome.

It was a team that finished with a perfect 13-0 record and outscored opponents 337-140.

When asked what he most remembered about the championship run, longtime coach Grady Rostberg responded with a single play from the second game of the year.

First a little history lesson.

Back in 1983, there was no playoff system. There was a 16-team state tournament with conference champions from all around the state.


Jodi Wendt headed for Minnesota State Hall of Fame

Winthrop head women's golf coach Jodi Wendt, a Hutchinson native and daughter of former golf coach, Carol, is one of four former Minnesota State student-athletes that have been selected for induction into the school’s Athletics Hall of Fame during ceremonies on Sept. 26.

Wendt, a former LPGA teaching professional and player on the Player West Professional Tour, has completed two years as the Winthrop women’s head coach after a two-year stint as the assistant golf coach.


Kumm sets pool record in 200 IM

If there was any doubt whether Hutchinson sophomore Audrey Kumm is the favorite to win the Class A 200 individual medley race this fall, that doubt was lifted with a pool-record swim Saturday in the Hutchinson Invitational.

Kumm’s pool-record time of 2:10.11 was six-tenths faster than her second-place time in the state meet last season. Her nearest competitor Saturday was 13 seconds behind her.

From golf bunker to sand castle

An elaborate sand castle trimmed with marigolds rose out of the number eight-hole bunker at Crow River Golf Club late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning. Manager Karl Baldry said, “We appreciate the artistic side, but the golf club is private property, and acts such as this are trespassing.”
