Golden Valley resident Liz Burke competed in Sweden for the Junior World Challenge Cup synchronized skating competition.
Figure skating has taken Liz Burke to various national competitions, including this year’s Synchronized Nationals in Worcester, MA.

Andy Wicklund was named the outstanding male senior athlete.
When Andy Wicklund was a sophomore, he tried out for Legion baseball like all the other baseball players his age. He was one of just four or five offered a chance to play on the team. Although that opportunity was an honor, most of those who were selected chose to stick with the lower league. But Wicklund didn’t have any reservations and readily accepted. “I’m always better pushing myself than taking the easy way out,” he said. Wicklund’s tendency to take the hard road over the years has paid off. He was recently named the recipient of Hopkins High School's Apollo Award—an honor that recognizes the school’s outstanding male senior athlete. The three-sport competitor is a shortstop on the baseball team, a quarterback on the football team …

The Royals defeated Osseo 77-55 Saturday at the Target Center in the Class AAAA final.
It was clear Hopkins had secured a second state championship in a row for several minutes before the buzzer actually signaled the end of Saturday’s game. But that didn’t dampen the players’ enthusiasm when the clock made their 77-55 victory over Osseo official. Players on the bench leaped out of their seats. The girls hugged one another. Some even danced in celebration. Osseo actually put the first points on the board, starting the game with a 5-0 run. But Hopkins hit its stride soon after, helped by numerous Osseo fouls that allowed the Royals to capitalize at the free throw line. From there, Hopkins was off to the races. “We just pushed the bar,” Guard Taylor Anderson said. “We like to play a fast, video game pace.” Sisters Nia and …
