It’s the players & the plays that defined our coverage in 2025 Before we gear up for a new season, let’s take one more look back… #BestFromTheWest 🎥🏈

Le-Win finished back on top as State Champs, but they may look a little different. Youth at the skill positions means development is key, but the trenches remain a strength. They’ll lean on a dominant line Gannon Dunker, Preston Shultz, Mason Kempel, and Merrik Mahon. #PreVIEW26

We caught lightning in a bottle with this kid and he led our small school to 3 NUIC Conference Championships and our only 3 IHSA Sectional Championships in school history. He was our leader, our heart, and our soul. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, SCHLICHTO 🤝 You were perfect, young man. #Blessed

Alec Schlichting finishes his career at Le-Win with a Top 5 finish in the 200m Dash, leading us to 11th place as a team at State! This young man is a class act and a warrior on the track. We will never see another 15-time State Qualifier nor more decorated medalist at Le-Win 🔥

We picked up a 3-1 victory in the regional championship against Eastland. That brings our record to 27-2 on the season. L. Madigan- W(11-), 7IP, 4H, 1R 0ER, 14K B. Cox- H, R, RBI J. Schubert- H, RBI L. Madigan- H, BB We play next Wednesday at 2PM in Forreston against Dakota.

In what they called the fastest 100m Dash in Class 1A history, Alec Schlichting takes the bronze medal in a generational race! Schlichto would have placed 2nd in 2A and 5th in 3A. The fastest young man to ever walk the halls at Lena-Winslow. We are proud of you @SchlichtingAlec #GOAT

Zaydan leads us off strong today in the 3200m Run finishing 7th in Heat 1! His 4x800 and 3200 effort at Sectionals helped our team win the title! Incredibly proud of this Sophomore! Congrats on a great season, young man!
