He has earned 2020 CCIW Academic All-Conference honors in wrestling, after finishing a full season on the football team. He also earned academic all-conference honors in 2019.

Most importantly, he had the least amount of turnovers amongst the top 8 teammates (in minutes played). https://dustars.com/sports/mens-basketball/stats – team site photoMadi Zerr (Bristol) is pitching for the University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire. The 2019 Wilmot grad has appeared in four of six games played (before the COVID lock-down). She pitched 10.0 innings with a 2.10 ERA and four strikeouts.

The workhorse from Wilmot HS has started 4 games and has a 1-0 record. Gendron pitched an absolute gem vs Wayne State on March 7th. He threw 6 scoreless innings, giving up only 3 hits, while striking out eight. He exited the game with a 2-0 lead. Unfortunately, the next relief pitcher blew the save opportunity and served up two 3-run homers, leaving Gendron with a no-decision. https://winonastatewarriors.com/sports/baseball/roster/kyle-gendron/9731— team site photo
