Grutz says, "Kate Smith is much, much faster than you." or "Saints are better than Gamblers." or "Sports, sports, sports, sports."

You're a Champion, Kate!

Hot damn!  Little cousin Kate is a State Champ!  I couldn't believe my eyes reading the Telegraph Herald.  Dubuque Wahlert Girls won it's first team title, on the back of their sprint medley win on Saturday.  Kate ran the third leg and the team finished 1:49.13, just beating out Mt. Vernon/Lisbon by 0.73 seconds!  All the hard work and dedication payed off for Kate and the rest of the Wahlert team.  Give Kate a shout out.  We're so proud of you, Kate!

Dubuque tops Green Bay, 6-1 to with the Clark Cup.

.....and we'll keep on fighting to the end.  'Cos we are the Champions, we are the Champions!

And continuing with the sports theme... The Dubuque Fighting Saints won the USHL Clark Cup last night in Dubuque, over Green Bay, to win the best of 5 series, 3-1.  This is the first title for the Saints in 26 years (mind you, the Saints left Dbq for about 9 or 10 years).  It's been an amazing first season back in Dubuque at their new rink.  Of course, I don't want to take credit for anything, buuuuuuuuut......

A Fighting Saints promo back in August.  Who's giving the lucky, Clark Cup Champion high-five?  Nick is, that's who.

Well, I'm bushed.  That's my Dubuque sports fix for the week.  Have a beautiful Sunday, and once again, WAY TO GO KATE!!!!
