Article on Brookfield East Invitational
Germantown girls track
April 24, 2012GermantownNow.com
Slowly getting healthier, the Warhawks got victories from Jennifer Ellis in the 100 high hurdles and from the 400 relay team of Jayne Bertieri, Sammie Gassner, Bethany Laubenheimer and Sydney Langmann in earning fourth in the Brookfield East Invitational on April 18.
"We've had so many people hurt that we've had to fill in the pieces as best we could," said Bertieri, who anchored the state honor roll relay effort of 51.69 seconds. "Sammie was running for the first time today (because of a foot problem) and even I had to leave practice early yesterday because I was sick."
Germantown scored 56 points for its spot in the 17-team East meet.
The relay won by more than a half-second over Menomonee Falls, while Ellis had a 0.66 margin over her nearest competitor in claiming the high hurdles (16.31). She was also second in the 300 low hurdles (48.64).
Other good finishes by event included the following: 800 relay: fourth (10:25.27); 100 hurdles: Taylor Edmonds, sixth (17.72); 100 dash: Bertieri, third (13.09); 1,600 relay: fifth (4:23.71); shot put: Melissa Asmondy, fourth (33-5); and discus: Katelyn Turner, sixth (92-0).

Wheaton Franciscan Lady Spartan Invitational
April 18, 2012
First Indoor Meet of the Season at Brookfield East with 17 Varsity Girls Teams Competing
Jayne won her 100 meter heat and headed to the finals for a 3rd place finish. Jayne anchored the 4x100 meter relay, and Germantown took first place! You have got to see this video, as Germantown was in 3rd or 4th place when Jayne took over and blew everyone away. (Videos links are in pink.) She also was the first runner in the 4x400 meter relay, which was a new race for Jayne. Her split time for the 400 was 62 seconds, which means she has the fastest 400 for Germantown Varsity Girls. The relay came in 5th place.
A couple of really great first time things happened at this meet. For the first time, Jayne made the State Honor Roll in the 100m dash and the Germantown 4x100m relay is ranked 2nd in the State at 51.69 seconds!
Jayne was also interviewed by the local sports reporter for the first, but certainly not the last, time. Here is a photo, and I will post the article when it is published next week.

Warhawks girls battle injuries to take second in NSC indoor meet
Germantown track uses depth to earn its spot
April 9, 2012
Germantown - With top performers Sammie Gassner (foot) and Leah Wheaton (knee) out before the season even started, the Germantown girls track team knew it had to improvise in the early going. So far the plan is working, as the Warhawks, despite not a single event first still managed a strong second-place finish in the North Shore Conference Indoor at Cedarburg on April 3.
"All we could do going into this meet was what we could do," coach Greg Siegert said. "We just told the kids to do your best and forget about the rest, and look what we were able to do. We had just a ton of PRs (personal records) tonight."
Germantown scored 80 points for its spot as Grafton won with 100 and defending champion Whitefish Bay was third with 75.
The Warhawks took four second-place finishes to lead their efforts, as Jayne Bertieri took one in the 55-meter dash (7.86) while others went to Jennifer Ellis in the 55 hurdles (9.34), Bethany Laubenheimer in the long jump (16-3 1/2 ) and Melissa Asmondy in the shot put (34-2 3/4 ).
Siegert praised the efforts of Bertieri and Laubenheimer.
Thirds went to Beth Kuske in the high jump (4-10) and to the 1,600 relay team (4:29.5).
Other top six performances included the following: 200: Bertieri, fourth (28.8); 400: Ellis, fifth (1:06.68); 1,600: Caitlin Dillon, fourth (5:20.8); 55 hurdles: Taylor Edmonds, fifth (10.05); Four-lap relay: fifth (1:33.76); 3,200 relay: fourth (11:04.0); pole vault: Cassidy Dunn, sixth (7-6). long jump: Kuske, sixth (15-5); and shot put: Katelyn Turner, fifth (32-5 3/4 ).
"The kids knew what kind of situation that we were in (given the injuries)," Siegert said, "but the varsity group has been absolutely outstanding. They give 100 percent all the time. They've given the new things that we've been trying a real shot."

North Shore Indoor Conference
April 3, 2012
Last night was the Indoor Conference Track Meet, where all 8 teams in the North Shore Conference competed. The Germantown Girls Varsity Track Team placed 2nd in Conference.
Earlier in the day, I was looking at a baby name book with a member of my marketing team and learned that the name "Jayne" means "Victorious". That was an accurate description of Jayne's results last night. She won her heat, qualified for the finals and took 2nd in the 55 meter dash with a time of 7.86 seconds and earned another medal. She went on to place 4th in the 200 meter dash. It was a great night!
Tomorrow is another big day for Jayne. She is taking her driver's license test!
