“It was always intended to house guests, and we really do want people to feel like this is their house,” said Kelly Olsen, one of the nine
owners of The Guest House on Water Street. When finished with the project, there will be 11 bedrooms and nine bathrooms, including a
separate carriage house that will be transformed into a duplex.

breakfast in what seemed
to be an ideal location at
371 Water Street in Excel-
sior.
Olsen then reached out
to her monthly network-
ing group, The Power of
She, and eight women
jumped on board with her.
“We actually had more
interest than we had shares
available,” Olsen said.
Now, they intend to con-
vert the space into more
of a vacation rental for
larger parties and groups,
whether it be weddings,
retreats, reunions or any
other special event.
Since the new owners
closed on the bed and
breakfast on August 11,
the Guest House has al-
ready been the hospital-
ity suite for multiple wed-
dings, Olsen said.
Her vision for the Guest
House started with a per-
sonal desire to provide
lodging options for visi-
tors of Excelsior.
“I got married in Ex-
celsior in 2012 (and) there
was nowhere to stay,”
she said, noting they had
to shuttle their guests
Chanhassen. She also
noted all the cruise boats
that come in and out of
Excelsior, drawing oth-
ers from out-of-town.
Another painful fac-
tor was her first husband
being killed by a drunk
driver in 2008.
“Following that, I re-
ally had this desire to get
people to slow down and
spend time with the peo-
ple that they love. And I
think this really squarely
fits that niche,” she said.
This isn’t Olsen’s first
business venture either.
Seven years ago, she
purchased the foreclosed
Han’s Bakery in Anoka,
which she operated until
May, selling it to the own-
ers of Wuollet’s Bakery.
“Honestly when I boil
it all down, it’s the same
thing. I wanted to bring
something back to life
and I wanted people to
slow down and spend time
with the people they care
about,” she said.
Olsen shared that the
eight others that have
been invited to partner in
this are the same people
who book these kinds of
trips, which will be helpful
when transforming it into
a place where they would
like to stay.
As a builder and de-
signer at NR Properties
Inc., Trisha Raich of
Blaine was enticed to join
the partnership without
knowing much about it or
the city of Excelsior, but
knew it was a “really cool
area.”
“A lot of what I do is
truly fixing things up and
making them pretty,” she
said. “I was very inter-
ested ... knowing we were
going to be fixing up and
making this house even
prettier than it already is
... And to do it with ladies
was even better.”
Also jumping on board

tion, Boardmember Kim
Ross said, “Well, I think
the candidates will do that
for us.”
The board should state
its intent clearly at a regu-
lar board meeting before
November if it decides to
appoint the runner-up this
year, Ross said. However,
she added, “I don’t think
we need to do a commu-
nication campaign. I’m
pretty sure that the can-
didates would be all over
that.”
Like Casper, Board
Chair Adam Seidel had
opposed appointing Pa-
gan-Umar, who is running
in this year’s special elec-
tion, to fill Stoltz’s seat.
However, Seidel voiced
some support for the idea
of appointing the runner-
up of this year’s special
election.
If the community
makes the decision, “I no
longer feel like I’m impos-
ing that,” he said.
Noting that a runner-
up can receive nearly as
many votes as a winner,
Seidel said, “The ability
to sort of more closely
match community prefer-
ences is always something
I’m interested in.”
However, he later said
he did not have a solid
position yet.
Ross, who had advo-
cated for the board to ap-
point Pagan-Umar earlier
this year, noted that in
2020 voters could select
three candidates while
this year they will be able
to vote for only one in the
special election.
“The dynamic is a little
different,” Ross said. “I’m
not saying I necessar-
ily disagree with that ap-
proach, but it’s a little bit
apples and oranges. It’s
definitely different.”
She added that the
board would have dif-
ficulty in obtaining a
pledge from the appointee
for Bratrud’s seat that the
individual would not run
again in the special elec-
tion in 2022.
“We can’t do that, but
my point is that if we do
what’s being suggested, in
some way shape or form
we could be giving an ad-
vantage to that appointee
for next November,” Ross
said.

Avidor Minnetonka celebrates
opening one year later
(SUBMITTED PHOTO)
Almost exactly a year after opening its doors, Avidor Minnetonka finally celebrated with a ribbon
cutting. Representatives of the Edina and Minneapolis Regional Chambers of Commerce and
Avidor Minnetonka staff joined Minnetonka Mayor Brad Wiersum as he cut the ribbon and of-
ficially welcomed the 55+ active adult community to the city. “We are so pleased to have Avidor
Minnetonka here. The community is targeted at active people, and so is our city. We have Lake
Minnetonka here, we have a phenomenal parks system, we have a phenomenal trails system,
and we are committed to expanding that,” Mayor Wiersum said. Avidor Minnetonka is a 168-unit
55+ active adult apartment building located on the southwest corner of the Ridgedale Mall’s
parking lot.
Several opponents of
appointing Pagan-Umar
earlier this year had made
a similar point at the time.

members who voted

Hopkins School
Board candidacy
Rachel Hartland, local
parent, business owner and
community member, has an-
nounced her candidacy for
the Hopkins Public Schools
Board.
She is running for one of
three seats up for election
this fall.
She said she has held sev-
eral roles in her professional
life.

She said the dilemmas

apparent that community
members need one another.
“We need dialogue, ideas,

learn within this blueprint
we create, so I want to see
every goal realized. Of all
the features in that Vision,
the one that I believe will
most distinguish Hopkins
Public Schools is this: fear-
less teams that are unafraid
to fail.”
She wants to help students
become “life-ready.”
“The road to ‘life-ready’
may look different for every-
one, but it’s clear that gradu-
ates with practical skills and
a strong network benefit
in many ways: Improved
mental health, lower rates
of substance abuse, greater
college/program completion
rates, and even longer lives,”
Hartland said.
“Using new skills, experi-
encing frustration, figuring
out what went wrong, utiliz-
ing resources and changing
tactics is what makes world-
class, resilient humans. Our
community is an unparal-
leled resource, and we can
create those opportunities
together. Within a strong
network, being adventur-
ous and rebounding from
inevitable failures is much
less scary.
“‘Fearless teams...un-
afraid to fail,’ is the mantra
that will enable us to reimag-
ine education and ensure
our students are life-ready.”
She said that while she’s
had a lot of success in life,
she’s learned as much from
the times she has failed.
“I’ve had to ask questions,
solve problems, and pivot,”
Hartland said. “From that
background, I’ve gained
experience analyzing infor-
mation, managing complex
projects, and following rig-
orous reporting standards.
My dedication, experience,
and analytical skills will
benefit the board. We must
be deliberate and fearless to
raise the adventurous, in-
clusive global citizens we’ve
pledged. Succeeding in do-
ing so means attracting the
best talent to our district,
and opening more doors for
our graduates. My family
chose Hopkins for our three
students. We’re flourishing
here, and I’ll work to make
that a reality for all Hopkins
families.”

Tonka football team regroups to play Rebels

By JOHN SHERMAN
john.sherman@apgecm.com

The Minnetonka High football team

is on the road for the second week in a
row as a 7 p.m. Sept. 24 game at Cham-
plin Park looms.
Last Friday night, minus starting
quarterback Will Martin, who was side-
lined with an injury, the Skippers suf-
fered their first loss of the season, 35-7
at Maple Grove.
“We helped them with a couple of
fumbles and blown assignments,” Min-
netonka coach Mark Esch said.
The crucial plays in the game seemed
to go Maple Grove’s way, Esch thought.
Champlin Park has played one Lake
Conference school this season and lost
to the Wayzata Trojans 23-0 in week
2. As is the case most years, Champlin
Park has good size in the line on both
sides of the ball.
Coach Esch was expecting a medical
decision on Martin’s status by Tues-
day, Sept. 21. If the 6-foot-2 lefthander
is able to play, the Skippers’ passing
game could thrive. The Skippers have
a core group of capable receivers led by
Case Conzemius, Tyler Lien and Joey
Gendreau. Minnetonka’s main run-
ning threat is junior halfback Jacob (SUN PHOTO BY JOHN SHERMAN)

at Hopkins High Stadium.

Hopkins
In Week 3 of the high school football
season, Hopkins lost its third game in
a row.
The Royals moved the ball well at
times, but fell to visiting East Ridge
34-0 at Hopkins High Stadium. Ju-
nior quarterback Gabe Ottmar led the
Royals with some big gains on running
plays. Defensively, the Royals were led
by senior captain and linebacker Aaron
Aune. Hopkins captain Jaxon Draack
had several kick-off returns for Hop-
kins that established good field posi-
tion.
Hopkins plays its homecoming game
at 6 p.m. Friday, Sept. 24, against Park
of Cottage Grove. Fans should note
that game time is one hour earlier than
usual.

Championship-caliber soccer
between boys from Wayzata, EP
No. 1 Trojans pull
out a 1-0 victory
By JOHN SHERMAN
john.sherman@apgecm.com
A boys soccer match worthy
of the first week of November
happened a day short of the
midpoint of September when
Eden Prairie hosted Wayzata
Sept. 14 at the Aerie.
Ranked No. 1 in the state in
Class AA, the Trojans moved to
6-0-0 for the season with a hard-
fought 1-0 victory.
“Eden Prairie always plays
us tough,” Wayzata head coach
Dominic Duenas said. “We
were happy to get the result. It
was definitely a physical match,
and they did a good job defend-
ing our set pieces.”
“Our guys were ready for the
challenge,” EP head coach Rob
St. Clair said. “We were look-
ing forward to the game and felt
good going in.”
Senior forward Edin Nguy-
en scored the only goal of the
match late in the first half on an
assist from junior forward Mike
Orlov.
“We might have had more
than 20 long throw-ins and free
kicks,” Wayzata’s Duenas said.
“I am pleased that we’re creat-
ing those situations, but we have
to do a better job of finishing
our chances.”
Eden Prairie is one of the few
teams in the state that has the
height to challenge Wayzata in
front of the net, and for good
reason, that was the Eagles’ fo-
cus in practice the day before
the match. “Wayzata has some
great targets with Joe Highfield,
Curtis Wagner and Miles Akh-
igbe,” EP’s St. Clair said.
The Eagles went into the
game without star midfielder
Jose Blanco, who has been out
with an injury for three games.
Blanco isn’t their only go-to guy
on offense, but he has a knack
for making plays, either creating
shots for himself or shots for his
teammates.
“We missed Jose,” St. Clair
said. “But the nice thing was
we had three juniors all play
their best game of the season
- Pranay Dhiman, Zach Fier,
Sam Phillips and Alex Yu.”
Seniors Danny Hernandez,
Cole Nelson and Henry Hus-
mann, the three Eagle captains,
made their share of key plays
along with goalkeeper Steven
Mattison, who won some phys-
ical battles in the crease, and
Jack Fox, the all-purpose se-
nior who can play any position
on the field.

EP’s Grant
won’t dwell
on loss in
Lakeville
Eagle football is regrouping
to play Rosemount Irish
By JOHN SHERMAN
john.sherman@apgecm.com
Even when your high school football pro-
gram has won double-figure state champi-
onships, there are going to be seasons with
some low points.
For Eden Prairie High coach Mike Grant,
a 42-7 loss Sept. 17 at Lakeville South has
not changed his vision that the Eagles can
once again become state champions this
season. Instead of dwelling on last week’s
result his full attention is on a 7 p.m. home
game against Rosemount Friday, Sept. 24,
at Aerie Stadium.
“I think we will play our best game Fri-
day,” Grant said. “We knew going into the
Lakeville South game that a low-scoring
game would be better for us. There were
five or six key plays in the game that all
went Lakeville South’s way. We fumbled
three times and lost all three, they fumbled
three times and recovered all three. When
you are minus-three in turnovers, you’re
only going to win 10 percent of the time.
Obviously, the game got away from us at the
end when we had our inexperienced players
in the game.”
The only bright spot of the offensive side
for the Eagles was a 92-yard kick-off return
for a touchdown by senior Logan Gareis.
Lakeville South is a run-oriented team,
which operates out of a two tight-end set
and pounds the ball inside the tackles.
“Actually, I thought we did some good
things in the game,” Grant said. “We lost
one of our linebackers, Danny Frischmon,
the first quarter and our starting defensive
ends were both injured. We’ll try to get
healthy, keep our heads up and play great
football. The problems we had Friday night
are correctable. When we get healthy, I be-
lieve we’ll be as good as anybody.”
EP senior captain Noah Ekness punted
like a pro in the Lakeville South game with
an average of 42.3 yards on three attempts.
Grant cited defensive tackle Zack Gau for
his tackling.
Some of the key players who left the
field with injuries on Friday are the defen-
sive ends Trey Bixby and Chiddi Obiazor
and tight end Jermell Taylor. Since they are
three of the team’s biggest and best athletes,
their absence created problems.
Turning his attention back to the Rose-
mount game this week, Grant said, “Watch-
ing them on film, their quarterback looks
like a player. They have a traditional of-
fense with running and passing plays. It is
a typical Rosemount team.”
Like Eden Prairie, the Irish usually make
the final eight in the Class 6A playoffs. Eden
Prairie enters Friday night’s game with a
season mark of 2-1.

Metro Invitational brings a big crowd
Wayzata boys take title,
EP teams happy to improve
By JOHN SHERMAN
john.sherman@apgecm.com
Jeff Lindlief, who has coached in the
Eden Prairie cross country program
since 1996, is an experienced organizer
when it comes to running an invitation-
al meet.
As a result, Saturday’s Metro Invi-
tational at Round Lake Park in Eden
Prairie came off like clock work, with
every race on time.
“It was a gorgeous morning for cross
country,” Lindlief said. “This is a small-
er invitational, compared to some of the
others, but we had quality teams. Way-
zata’s reputation speaks for itself, and
St. Paul Highland Park has made a lot
of progress the last few years. The Ros-
eville boys are a very good team, and
Chanhassen had the top two finishers
in the girls race.”
As for the Eden Prairie teams, the
boys took fourth place and the girls ran
seventh. Wayzata was easily the boys
champion with a score of 35. Second-
place Roseville scored 66. On the girls
side, Highland Park fended off a chal-
lenge from Wayzata for a 45-63 victory.
“Two-third of the Eden Prairie run-
ners had their best times ever,” coach
Lindlief said. “We lost a great deal of
experience from both teams [to gradu-
ation].”
Eagle Boys
Eden Prairie’s boys are starting over
after losing three of the state’s top run-
ners - Isaac Hartman, Alex Gutierrez
and Jack Gschwendtner - to graduation.
Skipper boys soccer team stands 5-1-1
By JOHN SHERMAN
john.sherman@apgecm.com
Minnetonka High’s boys soccer coach
Mike Rogers juggled his lineup for a Sat-
urday matinee game against St. Michael-
Albertville Sept. 18.
Rogers called star defender Jake Her-
bert up front, and Herbert scored the
Skippers’ first goal in a 2-1 victory.
“Jake is the best athlete I’ve ever
coached,” Rogers said. “He had a mag-
nificent finish on his goal to make the
score 1-1 at halftime.”
Alex Gonikman banged home the win-
ning goal in the second half with an assist
from captain Ben Chung.
“Alex had been knocking on the door
all game,” Rogers said. “Ben got the ball
and gave him a great pass. Ben has blos-
somed into one of the best midfielders in
the Lake Conference, if not the state. He
is great on the defensive side and he’s very
crafty going forward. Ben sees the field
exceedingly well.”
Earlier in the week, the Skippers lost a
heart-breaking decision at Edina. Sam-
my Presthus scored for the Hornets, and
Eden Prairie girls cross country runners Sarah Williams (4233) and Avery Hackenburg (4212) are off
to a good start in the Metro Invitational Sept. 18 at Eden Prairie’s Round Lake Park. The Eagles took
seventh in the team standings.
Junior Matt Holje, a varsity returnee,
led the Eagles at the Metro Invitational
by placing 16th overall with a 5K time
of 17:08. Second for the Eagles and
20th overall, Nolan Bakken ran 17:15.
The third member of the Eagles’ new
big three, Nate Brant, ran 17:22 to take
24th place.
“Our top three did a good job of
racing together, and Will Ross [28th in
17:28] isn’t far behind,” Lindlief noted.
Hudson Spears was next in 30th place
with a time of 17:39. Freshman Nathan-
iel Thomas wounded out the top six by
taking 42nd place in 18:05.
Eagle Girls
The Eden Prairie girls team gradu-
ated the top two runners from last year,
despite some good chances, the Skippers
couldn’t get the equalizer.
“Although we played really well defen-
sively against Edina, we gave up a soft
goal,” Rogers said. “I can’t wait to play
them again. We licked our wounds and
got a good win on Saturday.” Tonka en-
tered the current week with a 5-1-1 over-
all mark and a 3-1-1 conference record.
Next is a Lake match against No.
1-ranked Wayzata at 7 p.m. Tuesday,
Sept. 28, at Wayzata High Stadium.
Tonka Girls
How often does this happen in Lake
Conference soccer?
Defender Payton Mahady of the Min-
netonka girls team nailed two goals on
free kicks Saturday afternoon to boost
the Skippers to a 2-0 win over St. Mi-
chael-Albertville. With the win, the Skip-
pers improved to 4-3-1 overall.
“This was a good win - a win we really
needed,” Minnetonka head coach Kelsey
Hans said. “We were able to score early
in the game, and that’s something we had
been talking about. It is always nice to get

Athena Award winner Ella Bakken and
Miriam Sandeen.
Seniors Avery Hackenburg and Lin-
nea Berndt and junior Amelia Dewber-
ry have assumed leadership roles.
Hackenberg finished 27th at the Met-
ro Invitational with a 5K time of 20:50,
while Berndt was right behind her in
28th place with a time of 20:51.
Dewberry took 30th place in 20:55.
Promising ninth-grader Macey Haase
ran 38th in 21:07 and sophomore Berit
Berggren took 40th in 21:27.
“We had three ninth-grade girls in
the varsity race,” Lindlief said. “I was
impressed with the way our older girls
talked to them before the race.”
Haase was running only the second
5K race of her career, so her perfor-
mance was one of the highlights.
a clean sheet, that’s the goal every game.”
The author of that clean sheet, sopho-
more Megan Mann, was playing in place
of junior Maddie Schultz, who was side-
lined with an injury. “We did a good job
of staying organized,” Hans said.
Earlier in the week, Minnetonka fell
behind early against Edina and lost a 5-1
decision on the road at Kuhlman Field.
Since Edina is ranked No. 1 in the state
in Class AA with a 7-0-0 record, Min-
netonka would needed a great game to
compete. The two Lake rivals will meet
again Oct. 8 at Minnetonka in a 5 p.m.
match.
“It was exhausting to our defense to
go against Maddie Dahlien,” Hans said.
Dahlien, Edina’s All-American candi-
date was spectacular with three goals,
while sophomore midfielder Izzy Engle
scored the other two.
“We have a tough, aggressive group
of players,” Hans said. “Our biggest im-
provement since the beginning of the sea-
son is out ability to move the ball more
creatively.”
Next for the Skipper girls is a 5 p.m.
match Tuesday, Sept. 28, at Wayzata.

Chanhassen tests Tonka volleyball
Skippers win close first
set on way to sweep
By JOHN SHERMAN
john.sherman@apgecm.com
Karl Katzenberger, head coach of
the Minnetonka High girls volleyball
team, expected a tough match Sept. 16
at Chanhassen - and he got it.
Minnetonka won in three sets, how-
ever, the first set was a fight to the fin-
ish. The score was tied at 16-16, 20-20
and 20-25 before the Skippers pulled out
a 28-26 win. The second and third sets
were easier with the Skippers winning
25-19 and 25-15.
“When the score was 25-25, we knew
we had to focus on our side of the net,”
Katzenberger said. At that point, senior
captain Abby Stanwood took over.
“Abby has had a tremendous start
to her senior year,” Katzenberger said.
“She has developed a complete game
and is a top player on offense and de-
fense.”
Katzenberger was impressed by
Chanhassen, especially junior setter
Ashlyn Steding, who made her hitting
teammates look good.
“Chanhassen is one of seven competi-
tive teams in our section [2AAA],” Kat-
zenberger said. “The section title will be
won by the team that is playing the best
at the end of the season.”
In the Lake Conference, the Skippers
hope to challenge Wayzata for the cham-
pionship. Wayzata is undefeated so far
and Minnetonka has just one loss (to
Shakopee in five sets Sept. 9).
If there is one factor that could put
Minnetonka on a par with Wayzata,
it is the improvement of the Skippers’

First aquatics showdown goes to Minnetonka
By JOHN SHERMAN
john.sherman@apgecm.com
Minnetonka and Edina are well-
known and always well-prepared for
their girls aquatics showdowns.
The biggest of those showdowns is,
of course, the State Class AA Meet in
November, but along the way the rivals
also go head-to-head in the Maroon &
Gold Invitational, a Lake Conference
dual meet and State True Team.
Minnetonka opened the 2021 series
with a win in the Maroon & Gold In-
vitational Sept. 18 at the University of
Minnesota. The Skippers scored 661.5
points to Edina’s second-place total of
522. Another Lake powerhouse, Eden
Prairie, finished fourth with 432. Stillwa-
ter edged the Eagles for third with 451.5.
The meet opened well for Minnetonka
with a win in the 200-yard medley re-
lay. Paige Dillon, Quinci Wheeler, An-
nabelle Wentzel and Regan Miller swam
1:46.64. Eden Prairie took second place
with Kessel Cripe, Caroline Larsen,
Grace Logue and Greta Dunn. Edina

ington.
“Kate made her debut in the Chanhas-
sen match during her sophomore year,”
Katzenberger recalled. “She has made
steady improvement since then.”
What is Simington’s potential? “Un-
limited,” Katzenberger said.
While Simington and Stanwood are
the big hitters in Minnetonka’s lineup,
the Skippers could not be as success-
ful as they are without a talented core
group. Libero Morgan Ryan is a huge
contributor every night, and so is de-
fensive specialist and captain Macy Os-
enga. Sophomore setter Anna Lockhart
is precise in finding the hitters. Nora
Arndt, a senior outside hitter, has made
a big jump since last season, and for a
placed third with Lauren Dewing, Ella
Hall, Skyler Kieffer and Katie McCar-
thy. In the 200-yard freestyle, the top
three were Sydney Dettmann of Stillwa-
ter, Addie Diaz from Minnetonka and
Nadia Helm of Minnetonka.
Edina’s McCarthy won the 200 indi-
vidual medley with a time of 2:07.06.
Minnetonka’s Dillon gave a challenge
in 2:07.84 and Audrey Soetano of Min-
netonka was third.
Regan Miller won the 50 freestyle title
in 23.72, with Evan Johns of Stillwater
second and Kieffer of Edina third.
The Karimi sisters from Edina, Shan-
ze and Zara, placed 1-2 in diving. Maya
Kelly of Stillwater and Natalie Smith of
Minnetonka were third and fourth.
Edina’s Kieffer had a nice win in the
100 butterfly in 57.13. Close behind was
Wentzel of Minnetonka in 57.39. Soeta-
no of Minnetonka placed third.
Caroline Larsen of Eden Prairie won
the 100 freestyle in 51.45 in a great race
with Minnetonka’s Miller, who finished
in 51.93.

vidual double winner when she took the

Anna Shoemaker.
The other seniors on varsity are Mad-
die Baumann, Kyla Borgendale, Justina
Felknor, Ella Fremgord, Libby Nord-
vold and Marlee Walters.
Outside hitters Keely Campuzano
and Kara Doyle lead a strong junior
class along with Simington and setter
Myra Karrick. Juniors playing on the
Skipper JV team include Hanna Dah-
lin, Emma Dill, Paige Erickson, Winona
Stone, Grace Wilker and Kate Yetka.
Two days after the win at Chanhassen,
the Skippers swept the Minnetonka In-
vitational title with three victories. That
left them with a season record of 11-2
overall.
500 freestyle in 5:09.08. Maija Kangas
and Diaz of Minnetonka were second
and third.
Perhaps the best race of the evening
was Minnetonka’s touch-out win over
Edina in the 200 freestyle relay. Ton-
ka’s winning team of Rachel Shelstad,
Wentzel, Diaz and Miller went 1:38.38.
Edina’s foursome of Libbi McCarthy,
Kieffer, Hall and Anna Schrag went
1:38.62. Eden Prairie finished in 1:39.10
with Larsen Eliana Auerbach, Logue
and Dunn.
Eva Johnson of Stillwater won the 100
backstroke, with Minnetonka’s Dillon
second and Maggie Rhodes third.
Eden Prairie’s Larsen achieved dou-
ble-winner status with a victory in the
100 breaststroke with a time of 1:04.76.
Stillwater’s Maddie Reed placed second
and Wheeler of Minnetonka was third.
Minnetonka wrapped up the evening
with a win in the 400 free relay. Dillon,
Nadia Helm, Diaz and Soetano had a
time of 3:35.84. Edina earned second
place with Libbi McCarthy, Schrag,
Katie McCarthy and Dewing swimming
3:37.89.

Heartland
By JOHN SHERMAN
john.sherman@apgecm.com
In preparation for the Nike Heartland
Regional in November, the Minnetonka
High boys and girls cross country teams
recently ran in the Nike Heartland Pre-
view in South Dakota.
Results were convincing for both Skip-
per teams, as the girls won the Preview
championship and the boys earned sec-
ond place.
“Our girls ran really well,” Minnetonka
girls coach Jane Reimer-Morgan said.
“The Nike Heartland Preview is back this
year. It was canceled because of a tornado
in 2019 and because of COVID-19 last
year.”
Minnetonka’s girls put three runners
in the top 10. Sophomore Ella Graham
placed fifth with a 5K time of 18:45 and
her ninth-grade teammate Avery Maras-
co-Johnson was sixth in 18:50. Sopho-
more Elizabeth Weider took ninth place
in 19:03. The next three finishers for Min-
netonka - junior Claire Cashman (12th in
19:12), senior captain Kate LeBlanc (16th
in 19:22) and sophomore Kira Martin
(18th in 19:30). Even Minnetonka’s sev-
enth runner, eighth-grader Abby Downin,
made the top 25. She was 24th in 19:48.
There were 115 runners in the girls varsity
race.
The meet was scored by times, and
Minnetonka won with an average time
of 19:03. Sioux Falls O’Gorman placed
second with an average of 19:08. Rapid
City Stevens, another South Dakota team,
took third with a 19:47 average. Willmar
represented Minnesota well with a fourth-
place finish. The Cardinals’ average was
20:06.
“Claire Cashman and Kira Martin have
both improved a lot since last year,” Re-
imer-Morgan said.
The Skippers are without their top run-
ner from last season, junior Maya Mor,
who is out for the fall with an injury. “I
hope Maya will be able to run on the track
team in the spring,” Reimer-Morgan said.
Tonka Boys
Coach Jeff Renlund’s Minnetonka
High boys team is excited after a second-
place run in the Nike Heartland Preview.
Junior Nick Gilles, the Lake Conference
and Section 6AA individual champion
last season, took third place in the Heart-
land preview with a 5K time of 15:45. The
winner was junior Simeon Birnbaum of
Rapid City (S.D.) Stevens in 16:33.
The Skippers had no one else in the top
10, however, junior Max Westerlund made
a strong effort to finish 13th in 16:55.
Freshman James Thomas was next for
the Skippers, taking 18th place in 17:03,
and another freshman, Jackson Downin,
placed 34th in 17:36. Also running for
Minnetonka were senior Markus Peder-
son, junior Sam Fellner and sophomore
Parker Barry.
