2007 WIAA Track And Field Championships: MEDIA

Friday, June 1 and Saturday, June 2, 2007: Veterans Memorial Stadium @ UW-La Crosse. Results.




Geoff Steinbach the Arrowhead High School Activities Director, Glen Norder administrator in the Waukesha Public Schools Buildings and Grounds and Glen's son Ryan Norder produced the logo seen on the field at UW-La Crosse's Veterans Memorial Stadium for the 2007 State Meet. Jeff and Glen have been doing the logo since the 1996 WIAA Centennial Track and Field Meet. The painting of the field logo is sponsored by the Wisconsin Track Coaches Association.




Marcy Thurwachter, Assistant Director of the WIAA, oversees track and field and is the driving force behind producing a first class experience for the student-athletes competing in the meet. Over 300 volunteers staff the State Meet in which over 2000 athletes had the experience of competing against the top track and field athletes in Wisconsin.

The Wisconsin media has come to recognize the importance of the meet and extensive coverage is given to the two day event. Radio, television, and newspapers relayed news about their hometown area athletes and their accomplishments after interviewing the athletes. The pictures below show AP photo editors sending pictures to newspapers around the state, reporters racing to file a deadline, and TV technicians editing highlights of the meet for the night time sports report.
