Could Lutheran's distance teams have been even better?

Watertown's Andrew Perkins won the Division 1 1,600 Saturday.

Normally, we wouldn't report much on out-of-the area results, but that name might sound familiar to some locals, especially those who attended Trinity Lutheran School in Sheboygan.

Perkins was in sixth and seventh grade with Lutheran standout Peter Bolgert, who won the Division 3 1,600 and has been part of two state-record setting 3,200 relay teams.

Perkins was born in Watertown and moved to Sheboygan with his family for a couple of years. He eventually moved back to Watertown, but said he follows his distance friends from Trinity and tracks their success.

"I've thought about (what might have been) if I'd have been there now," said Perkins. "They are great in cross country too, and I'm happy they have been successful."
