Football isn't Andale's only fall powerhouse. Meet its newest state champions
At Andale, fall state championships in boys sports have become almost synonymous with football, a program that has made winning titles look routine. But on Saturday, another group of Andale boys had a championship of their own to celebrate. The Andale boys cross country team won the first state championship in program history Saturday at Wamego Country Club, edging defending Class 4A champion Wamego by just three points, 62-65, in a thrilling finish. And it came down to a runner who usually isn’t among Andale’s five scorers. With Wamego making a late push, sophomore Levi Schmidt, normally Andale’s No. 6 runner, delivered one of the most important performances of the day. Schmidt crossed the finish line in 37th place in 17 minutes, 58 seconds, becoming Andale’s fifth scorer and securing the narrow victory. It was a fitting conclusion for a team that has built its identity around running together, sacrificing for one another and believing that every runner has a role in its success. “This group just likes what they do,” second-year Andale coach Matt Goetz said. “They like being around each other. They like the training and they bought into the work. And I think because of that, we’re
