The father-daughter tandem of Josh and Malayh Metcalf won the men's and women's two-mile runs, finishing in respective times of 11 minutes, eight seconds and 14:04.

Claire Witte (second from right) was crowned Miss Glencoe in the first coronation event since 2007. Her fellow candidates, from left, are Katrina Dummer, Grace Kohnen, Michelle Ruiz, Witte, Kaitlyn Grack and Isabel Petersen, who won Glencoe Ambassador and is seated behind the remaining candidates.

It was a night more reminiscent of early-season football rather than mid-summer baseball, but the Brownton Bruins made the most of their trip to Glencoe Days to face the host Glencoe Brewers on Friday, June 21. Rallying from a 4-0 first-inning deficit, the Bruins made the most of the latter innings to prevail with a 7-4 victory at Vollmer Field.
A two-run homer by former Bruin Mason Goettl combined with a two-run single by Tyler Chap gave the Brewers a 4-0 advantage off of Brownton ace Ryan Grams before the initial frame had expired.

The Glencoe VFW Post 5102 baseball team split a pair of doubleheaders last week, sharing the spoils with Belle Plaine on Monday, June 17, and Sibley East on Saturday, June 22.
Starting pitcher Zach Voelz tossed a two-hit shutout, striking out eight over a five-inning complete game as Glencoe topped Belle Plaine 9-0 in the first game of the first doubleheader.
Voelz, Jake Stifter and Mason Dietel each had two RBI, with Voelz also joining Carter Ruschmeier and Caden Lang with two hits.
Belle Plaine got the better of its hosts in the second game, winning 5-1 in five innings.

It was a trying, yet exciting week for the Plato Blue Jays. While the defending state champions lost three of four games last week, the squad did have the opportunity to play on the "big stage" as part of the Minnesota Twins' Townball Classic at Target Field over the weekend.
Plato entered last week with a 6-3 record, but was promptly rapped on the nose in a 10-2 loss at Young America on Tuesday, June 18. Starting pitcher Chris Odegaard was battered about by the host Cardinals, allowing 11 hits and seven runs – three earned – while striking out four over seven innings.
