A boys volleyball coach at Burnsville High School is facing charges after being accused of sexually assaulting an underage player.

Brooke Emily Reinhardt, 24, has been charged with three counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct with an underage victim.

According to court documents, on Tuesday, Burnsville police received a report of possible criminal sexual conduct involving Reinhardt and a 17-year-old player.

A witness said Reinhardt was looking after his home in Burnsville while he was out of state between June 23 and 29, and after returning, he found the victim’s wallet in his apartment.

Court records note that the victim was interviewed and said he forgot his wallet, and Reinhardt sent him a text saying that he’d forgotten it in her car. The victim stated that Reinhardt gave him a ride to practice in Maple Grove on June 28 and waited for him to finish practice before bringing him home.

The victim initially told investigators that he had not spent any time with Reinhardt aside from their sport, but authorities found texts from Reinhardt on his phone about condoms and also saying that he had “a lot of things to delete.”

According to the criminal complaint, the victim told officers that he and Reinhardt had been hanging out more often, and that the two of them began dating about two or three months before. He initially told officials that they hadn’t done more than just kissing.

When asked about the texts about condoms, the victim then said that they had sex multiple times and that Reinhardt had sent him nude pictures, court documents state.

On Wednesday, police arrested Reinhardt and in interviews, she initially said that the relationship between her and the victim was as coach and player; however, she later admitted that in May, she and the victim engaged in sexual acts in her vehicle and had sex multiple times, including at both of their houses and the witness’s apartment.

Court records note that she also admitted to sending nude pictures of herself to the victim.

Reinhardt has her next court hearing scheduled for Aug. 6.

DETROIT LAKES

— This year’s Northwest Water Carnival will be living up to its name, even more than usual.

In full compliance with a

new Minnesota state law,

the Detroit Lakes Jaycees will be providing free access to drinkable water for all ticketed events during the water carnival’s 10-day run, from Friday, July 11 through Sunday, July 20.

“We’re here to keep everyone happy and hydrated to the fullest,” says April Asleson, who is co-admiral of the 89th Northwest Water Carnival alongside Tyler Tretbar.

This means that the Jaycees will have free water on tap in large Gatorade jugs; allow guests to bring in their own bottled water (unopened); and offer bottled water for sale at a flat cost of $2 per bottle.

This will apply to all ticketed events, from the Kickoff Party on July 11 to the Bash on the Beach with Lonestar on July 19.

And on the other side of the spectrum, the Parade of the Northwest on Sunday, July 20 will be offering “no water” zones for spectators who don’t want to get wet, as well as signs for those parade participants who do not want their floats, vehicles or attire to be splashed/drenched with water from spectators. Both spectators and participants are asked to respect these restrictions — and for those who do want to get wet, the traditional “water wars” will kick off this year’s parade rather than taking place at the end.

Speaking of the parade, the traditional route is being upended this year, beginning from the staging area outside Kent Freeman Arena, proceeding east on West Lake Drive to the Pavilion, then north on Washington Avenue to Front Street. The parade will feature 150-plus entries, and is expected to continue for roughly two hours from start to finish.

More than 60 events are planned during the water carnival’s 10-day run, including traditional favorites like the Water Fights and Great Admiral’s Hat Hunt as well as a few new events like a rock-skipping contest during Family Day (July 13) and a jigsaw puzzle competition at the Pavilion (July 14).

The first night of the Bash on the Beach will also be a little different this year, with the event on Friday, July 18, catering specifically to teens, while the second night on Saturday, July 19, featuring Lonestar as the headliner, will have the traditional, adults-only format.

Pickleball, sand volleyball and bean bag tournaments; sky diving for adults and inflatable games for kids; lots of live music on tap; bingo, “Bearsbee” and more: This year’s Northwest Water Carnival is sure to make a splash. A full schedule can be found online at

which is also where you can find ticketing and registration information for all the events.

Kuzey Tuncelli Claims Hat-Trick Of 1500 Free Titles At European Juniors; Luka Hoek le Guenedal Sets Spanish 50 Free Record

Olympic finalist Kuzey Tuncelli earned his third consecutive 1500m freestyle title with a 14:45.05 victory at the European Junior Championships in Samorin.

The Turkiye swimmer set a world junior record of 14:41.89 in winning this title in Vilnius last year and lowered it to 14:41.22 in finishing fifth at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

With his focus having been on  his preparations for the World Championships in Singapore, and suffering the after-effects of badly bruising his foot in a training accident, the 17-year-old was in clear water as he secured his hat-trick ahead of Germany’s Johannes Liebermann who took silver in 14:53.15, with bronze going to Spain’s Cristobal Vargas Trujillo, who just held off the challenge of Romania’s Andrei-Theodor Proca, 15:11.34 to 15:11.77.

Now Tuncelli will turn his attention to the defence of his 800m freestyle title.

“Actually it’s a great feeling, coming from training I’m feeling so great about this title,” he told European Aquatics. “This means that my prospects for Singapore are looking better than I thought yesterday. It’s a great time without taper and with an injury so I hope I will be even better in Singapore. It’s so great to have this support from my team-mates and I feel so great with them here cheering for me, I couldn’t do it without them and I want to thank them so much.”

Hoek le Guenedal Sets Spanish 50 Free Record; European Junior Mark For Nowacki

Luka Hoek le Guenedal became the first Spanish man to break 22secs in the 50 free when he went 21.99 in the semis. Javier Noriega had held the national record of 22.04 for almost 16 years since the super-suited 2009 worlds. Hoek le Guenedal however sliced 0.05 from that mark to head the semis going into Friday’s final. It followed the 17-year-old’s 48.14 on the leadoff of the mixed 4×1 free relay on Wednesday, inside the national record but unlikely to be recognised as a new standard given it was a mixed lineup.

The men’s 200 breast semis featured two Championship records in as many races. Turkiye’s defending champion Doruk Yogurtcuoglu, won the first race in a personal best and Championship record of 2:10.63, bettering the mark of 2:10.69 set by Anton Chupkov, who went on to win Olympic bronze and world gold.

Filip Nowacki set a personal best of 2:10.74 in prelims but he dipped inside the 2:10 barrier in the second semi in a time of 2:09.11, a new European junior record. He became eighth all-time British performer and said: “I’m quite speechless to be honest, I wasn’t expecting that time on the board. I knew I had to go fast to make the final as the field is stacked this year.”

Denmark’s Martine Damborg won two golds in less than an hour, Damborg, who won women’s 50m backstroke silver on day two, earned the first of her titles in the 50m freestyle after Croatia’s 2024 silver medallist Jana Pavalic, whom she followed home, was disqualified.

The Croatian was credited with what would have been a personal best winning time of 24.87, but  was then ruled to have moved too early at the start and the title went to the 18-year-old Danish swimmer, who had clocked 25.00. Neutral athlete Kira Manokhina and Britain’s Theodora Taylor, from lane 2, shared silver after clocking 25.12.

Damborg re-focused and re-appeared to defend her women’s 100m butterfly title, which she managed comfortably in 58.30, with silver going to Finland’s Aliisa Soini in 58.95 and Poland’s Flawia Kamzol earning bronze in 59.10.

Neutral athlete Mikhail Shcherbakov dominated the men’s 200IM final, winning in a personal best and Championship record of 1:59.04, bettering the mark of 1:59.17 held by three-time Olympic champion Tom Dean. Romania’s defending champion Robert-Andrei Badea, had to settle for silver on this occasion as, after narrowing Shcherbakov’s lead to 0.12 at 150m he was unable to match his rival’s final 50, finishing in 2:00.59. Bronze went to Iason Routoulas of Greece in 2:01.18.

Italy won the women’s 4x200m freestyle relay in a Championship and European junior record of 7:56.06 with 14-year-old Alessandra Mao bringing the quartet home in 1:57.53. Lithuania took silver in 8:02.15, with bronze going to Great Britain – who had women’s 400m individual medley champion Amalie Smith on the last leg – in 8:04.12.
