Just to clear up any confusion, Whitefish Bay school officials have not received any reports of their student-athletes being approached by this fake reporter. The advisory from the Journal Sentinel was sent to all high school athletic directors throughout the region.

WIAA Track: North Shore Teams Take La Crosse By Storm

Deysha Smith-Jenkins led Dominican girls to fifth place in D2 finals, while Bay boys took seventh in the D1 competition.

North Shore track athletes took La Crosse by storm Saturday. The combination of Whitefish Bay, Nicolet, Shorewood and Dominican’s track teams did extremely well at the WIAA State Track Meet Friday and Saturday, earning a combined seven medals on a day that saw countless records fall. Whitefish Bay boys kicked things off when James Stecker took sixth in the 100 with a time of 11.06. The junior didn’t have much time to relax, though, as he quickly had to compete in the 4x100 and 4x200 relays. Apparently Stecker works just fine under a lot of pressure, as the Blue Dukes took first place in both events despite being seeded fourth in both. “That was kind of my goal coming in,” Stecker said of the three medals. “I knew our relays had a great …
