As a junior in 1995, she won the state championship in the 100 meter hurdles. Ready to congratulate him afterwards was his mom, Gina (Perich) Zezulka, who holds numerous individual school records as a decorated runner.
"I'm just going to go into it and give it my all." "I knew I didn't have the best form, but I was just thinking in my head I'm not losing," he said after the race. The victory comes despite taking on the event for the very first time this season. The University of Wisconsin-Stout bound senior joined Hudspith as the Esko boys' two individual champions of the day after posting a blazing fast time of 16.23, beating out Armando Sala of Deer River/Northland, and Shane Zancauske of Chisholm. Holm, Jocelyn Carr, Lamar Gordon and Grace Swanson also won the 3,200 relay.Ī lack of experience in the 110 meter hurdles did little to faze Esko's Carter Zezulka ahead of Thursday's meet. She also placed first in the 800 and 1,600 relays along with Delaney Nelson, Karly Holm and Jenna Marxhausen. Trinity Giddings was the top-finisher in the 400 meter event, where she set a new Section 7A record with a time of 57.50. The Agates earned a trip to to the state meet after scoring 97.5 points as a team during Thursday's meet. The Esko girls (67) ended up third behind section champs Two Harbors (97.5) and International Falls (92.5). Hudspith's dual first-place finishes in shot put, and again in discus (141.5") highlighted a dominant afternoon for the Esko boys as the team, without star runner Koi Perich due to injury, repeated as section champions, with 90.5 points to runner-up Crosby-Ironton's 80.5. "They both are definitely like my biggest (influences) right next to my mom too." "My brother has always been there for me just as a second thought of trying to do better than him and my grandpa, he's my coach, so he's always here supporting me, telling me what I'm doing wrong," Hudspith said. The inner competition within the group has been a motivator for Wyatt over the course of his career.
Wyatt's brother, Gage Stankiewicz, recently completed his sophomore season with the Yellowjackets' track and field team, while their uncle, Chris Hudspith, competed for the University of Minnesota, and still holds the Esko school record in the shot with a throw of 55 feet, 8 inches in 2003. The Gustavus Adolphus College football signee follows in a long line of accomplished throwers in his family, including his grandpa and coach Bill Hudspith, whose name is enshrined in the University of Wisconsin-Superior Hall of Fame.
