Division 2 state track recap: Elletta Uddin's triple, Bloomer's Hartmans and a relay-record weekend

LA CROSSE — Division 2 turned the 2026 WIAA State Track & Field Championships into a record show: seven meet records, a three-event individual champion and a small-school family story that ended in the record book. Osceola's Elletta Uddin and the Hartman sisters of Bloomer led the way.

Uddin was the headliner. She won the girls' 100-meter hurdles in 13.44 [MR], the 300-meter hurdles in 42.33 [MR] and the long jump at 19-1 — three titles, two of them meet records, across the hurdles and the jumps. It's the kind of range that wins a team meet by itself.

Bloomer's distance crew matched her for storyline. Sisters Ciara and Aliya Hartman went one-for-one in the individual distances — Ciara won the girls' 1,600 in 4:55.09 and Aliya took the 3,200 in 10:33.94 — and then anchored Bloomer to a meet-record 4x800 in 9:02.77. Altoona's Abbie Hoage won the girls' 800 in 2:12.92.

The boys' distances belonged to Rice Lake's Carter Kucko, who swept the 1,600 (4:11.65) and 3,200, the latter a meet record at 9:01.75. Winneconne's Grant Wenzelow won the 800 in 1:53.43, and Shorewood took the boys' 4x800 in 7:53.67.

The sprints crowned another double. Hayward's Harper Sheehan won the girls' 400 in a meet-record 54.56 and added the 200 in 24.38. Kettle Moraine Lutheran's Sydney Falkowski took the girls' 100 in 11.96. Amery's Mateo Aizpurua won the boys' 100 in 10.80, Marinette's Mason Hofherr took the 200 in 21.65, and New Berlin Eisenhower's Javaryn Love won the 400 in 48.36.

In the boys' hurdles, Martin Luther's Rylee Wendt won the 110s in 14.44 and Hayward's Lucas Hansen took the 300s in 37.81. Beyond Uddin's sweep, the girls' barriers were hers alone at the top.

The throws produced big marks. Winneconne's Hudson Samolinski won the boys' shot put at 61-2¾ and Notre Dame's Richie Flanigan took the discus at 176-8. On the girls' side, Edgewood's Eva Akpandja won the shot put (45-8½) and Colby's Daelyn Rieck claimed the discus (143-5).

The horizontal and vertical events spread the wealth. Oconto Falls' Brady Bursa won the boys' long jump (23-2), Xavier's Wyatt Rouamba took the triple jump (47-11½), Edgerton's Breck Anderson cleared 6-8 to win the high jump, and Winneconne's Trey Zemke won the pole vault at 15-0. For the girls, Lancaster's Lexie Olmstead won the high jump (5-8), Xavier's Caroline Basehoar took the pole vault (12-3) and Berlin's Selci Sirrell won the triple jump (38-8).

The relays were where the records really piled up. Brown Deer won the boys' 4x100 in 42.11 after running a 41.83 meet record earlier in the meet, Grafton took the 4x200 (1:27.50), and New Berlin Eisenhower won the boys' 4x400 (3:20.99). On the girls' side, Pius XI Catholic set a meet record in the 4x100 (47.60), New Berlin West set a meet record in the 4x200 (1:40.87) and won the 4x400 (3:53.07), and Bloomer capped its day with that record 4x800. The full Division 2 relay record run was one of the deepest in any class.

From Uddin's triple to the Hartmans' record relay, Division 2 in La Crosse was a weekend of versatility, family pride and fast batons.
