Whitnall powerlifting
Junior Nathan Marshall won the 242-pound national championship at the National High School Powerlifting Meet in Wisconsin Dells from March 26-28.
Marshall set American and national records in the squat with 700 pounds and total weight with 1,660 pounds.
Keng Xiong (114 pounds) and Sean Graham (181) were runners-up and Alex Dellis (153) was third for the Falcons, who took second in the team standings.
Greendale track
Third-place performances were the best the Panthers boys and girls could do at the Woodland Conference Indoor Meet at Carthage College on Monday.
For the boys, who were eighth, Joel Sirus was third in the triple jump, as was Tim Davis in the pole vault.
"Joel has improved five feet in one and a half weeks," Greendale boys coach Corey Binnebose said. "His conference performance was very much a surprise. You could see he had some jumping power but hitting over 40 was great."
For the ninth-place girls, Leslie Blazer took third in the 55-meter hurdles and Chelsey Heiden did the same in the 800 run. Blazer was also sixth in the high jump.
Other highlights for the boys included freshman Gaelan Seibold making the finals in the 55 dash, Garrett Patterson personal-best sixth-place run in the 3,200 and Matt Pulizos' three-foot improvement in the shot put.
For the girls, Haley Unger was fourth in the 55 dash and eighth in the long jump and Emily Klar was fifth in the 55 hurdles.
The boys and girls were both sixth of eight teams at the Watertown Relays on Saturday.
Patterson won the 2,400 run in 7 minutes, 50.81 seconds and Davis earned the top individual height in the pole vault with a 12-foot effort. Blazer (9.91) and Klar (10.30) were second and third in the 55 hurdles and also posted top-five times in the 200 hurdle relay.

On the strength of their field performances, the Falcons boys placed second at the Woodland Conference Indoor on Monday.

Wauwatosa West won the meet with 114.5 points; Whitnall was second with 95.
The Falcons girls were fourth, thanks largely to wins by Rachel Stave in the 400 (1:02.41) and Mary Erikson in the 800 (2:27.84).
Prior to the conference meet, the boys won six events to finish first at the John Bowen Invite at Milwaukee South on March 23.
