She sprinted to glory. That’s what Pipestone Area Schools’ Aurora Winsel accomplished last Saturday during the Big South Conference small schools track and field meet at Paulsen Athletic Complex. Winsel claimed gold in the 100-meter dash as well as the 200 dash and the open 400. She clocked in with a time of 12.91 in the 100, 25.82 in the 200 and 1:01.24 (400). “Aurora is simply a lot stronger compared to her prior years,” PAS head coach Mark Moeller said. “Her durability gives her the ability to bounce back faster between those races.” Winsel established a new league record...

Home cooking. That’s what the Pipestone A’s amateur baseball team enjoyed in its season-opening victory over the Flandreau Blue Teal, 9-4, on Wednesday evening at City Field. “They were a young, energetic team,” Pipestone A’s manager Avery Ploeger said of the Blue Teal, one of two summer baseball teams based in Flandreau. Ploeger said the Blue Teal featured challenging pitchers — starter Emmet Nathan settled down after a wild first inning allowing the A’s six runs. Speaking of pitching, five different A’s shared in the win, starter Carson Frank, Riley Bosma, Mitchel Carson, Mitchell Biever and Mark Abrahamson. Ploeger said...

MARSHALL — Pipestone Area Schools rallied from down 2-0 to beat Marshall in Game One of a Big South Conference doubleheader on Saturday. Avery Reinhard and Josie Danks crossed home plate on Kaysa Douty’s two-run, line drive double to center field. Addison Draper then added an insurance run on Sienna Rieck’s sacrifice fly, properly tagging up from third base to score. So it was the unsung Arrows who came through in a pinch, and eventually PAS swept the host Tigers during a warm day at the Marshall Softball Complex. The Arrows took Game One, 4-2, and followed with a run-rule...
