Appleton East Senior Heidi Baerenwald is pictured giving an interview to Appleton Post Crescent sports writer Dick Knapinski. Heidi had just come from the awards podium where she was presented the first place medal for the Division 1 shot put event. She set a Division 1 record with a throw of 46' 03.50. This broke a record set in 2000 by Jenny Prochazka from Arrowhead. Heidi said "Seeing all the people looking at you and hearing them announce your name is the most amazing feeling I've ever had" As in the past the stadium was packed and Saturday turned out to be an ideal day for a State Meet. Outstanding athletes, fiercely contested events, an appreciative crowd, ideal weather, a well run meet and the bluffs of the La Crosse area providing a magnificent backdrop left track fans with the feeling of '....does it get any better than this?'
