Raining championships

This wasn’t the way it was supposed to end, but New Hampton senior Noah Fenske was one discus throw away Friday from seeing his brilliant track career end in utter disappointment.
A day after becoming the first Chickasaw to ever win a state title in a field event with a dominating performance in the shot put, Fenske sat in 20th place with one preliminary throw remaining, and the top seed coming into the event was on the brink of elimination.
“I’m not going to lie, I was nervous,” he said, “but I have been in that situation — needing a big throw to get to the finals — before, so I just relaxed in the ring and threw one out there.”
