Cross country: Craig's Andrew Wieners finishes 74th at State
WISCONSIN RAPIDS — Janesville Craig junior Andrew Wieners wrapped up his 2026 cross country season on Saturday by competing in the WIAA State Cross Country Meet at The Ridges Golf Course in Wisconsin Rapids. Wieners ended up finishing 74th overall in the Boys Division 1 Race, running a time of 16:51.2. His time marks the fastest time for a Janesville Craig runner at the WIAA State Championships since Bryan Bloomquist ran a 16:20.2 back in 2019. This marked the 28th straight year that Janesville Craig boys & girls cross country sent either an individual or team to compete at the WIAA State Meet. Wieners, who has now competed in each of the last three state meets, will have his sights set on making a fourth and final return to the big dance in 2027, his senior season. Ultimately it was Logan Zeise, a junior at Milwaukee King, that came away with the 2026 Boys Division 1 title. Zeise ran a 15:02.7.
