Few careers are as rare as one that starts at a loan desk and ends in the corner office of the same institution. Jim Wookey, CEO of WESTconsin Credit Union, plans to retire later in 2027, closing out more than thirty-two years of service to the credit union’s members and communities.

It was the Golden Bears’ 10th overall state appearance. They looked for their second state championship in three years after winning the Division 3 title in 2024. “It was a great match overall,” Golden Bears coach Brooke Halverson said. “It's hard to put into words.

So that really kept our blockers on our toes and trying to read where the set was going. “I'm so proud of our girls. We battled last week in the sectional final, and that really was the match that showed our true heart, our true grit, our true determination. Like I told them out on the court, I said ‘This doesn't define our team, our passion, our determination, our grit, our season.’” Senior outside hitter Alexis Halverson led the Golden Bears attack with 26 kills to go
