Minnesota high school sports athletes’ best statistics and performances

Drollinger is thrilled the sport was approved by the Minnesota State High School League before he graduated.

“It was nice to get our recognition as an official sport,” Drollinger said. “It’s an added bonus to be doing well in my last hurrah. To be ending my high school career like this is pretty exciting.”

Hansen isn’t your typical track standout. She is a sprinter, jumper and pole vaulter. The senior is the school record-holder in the 60-meter dash (7.94 seconds), triple jump (38 feet, 4 inches), long jump (18-10½) and pole vault (12-9). “After a weird junior year in which she was sidelined for a month with mono, Rylie felt as though she had some unfinished business in the track world,” Cougars coach Joy Visto said. “She will tell you that her eyes are focused on bigger goals at the state meet in June.”

The senior lefthanded pitcher/outfielder has picked up right where he left off a year ago. Johnson is 3-0 on the mound with 21 strikeouts in 13⅔ innings and a 1.02 ERA. “Nick has been consistently delivering strong performances, keeping hitters off balance with his command and velocity,” Sabers coach Eric Schmitz said. He has also belted a home run and driven in six runs for the Sabers (8-1). “Nick sets the tone for his team with his positive attitude and commitment to excellence,“ Schmitz said. “This season, Nick is not only helping lead his team to success but also setting an example of what it means to be a true competitor.”
