Max Herkert '19 Recruiting Profile

5-11-19 Madison Journal headline, “Herkert soars to great heights, Multi-event standout is meet’s top scorer.”  “Herkert, ranked in the Division 1 state track and field honor roll in both the pole vault and high jump, showed off his athletic ability by also participating in the 110 high hurdles and, for the first time in his career, the 300 intermediate hurdles at the Big Eight Conference meet.”  “Herkert was the meet’s high scorer with 34 points.”  “It’ll go down as one of the best individual Wildcat track and field performances of all time,” Verona coach Joff Pedretti said.  “It’s insane.”
