New Glarus Sends Four Events to State
Brent Weeden won a sectional title in the shot put, Tucker Sysko advanced in the high jump, and the New Glarus girls 4x100 and 4x200 relay teams earned state berths Friday.
McFARLAND, Wis. — The New Glarus Glarner Knights will have four entries headed to the WIAA Division 2 State Track and Field Championships after a strong sectional showing Friday at McFarland High School.

Brent Weeden delivered the biggest highlight of the night, winning the boys shot put with a throw of 61 feet, 4.5 inches. Weeden edged Columbus senior Wyatt Graffin, who finished second at 61-3.25, by just 1.25 inches to claim the sectional championship.
