Sevastopol’s softball season came to an end on Monday, but it wasn’t for a lack of offensive firepower. The Pioneers scored ten runs, but also gave up nineteen to Lola-Scandinavia. The Pioneers finished the season with a 4-13 overall record. The final win for the Sevastopol team came on June 5th when they defeated Marion. 

Sevastopol Pioneers alum Max McHugh will have to wait until Wednesday and Thursday for his next chance to qualify for the Olympics.

McHugh swam a time of 1:00.56 in the final of the 100-yard breaststroke, which was tied for seventh in the eight-man race. He needed to finish in the top 2 to qualify for the team heading to Tokyo later this year.  Michael Andrew and Andrew Wilson qualified for the team with times under 58.75.

McHugh will swim again Wednesday in the 200-yard breaststroke preliminaries.

Max McHugh is one step closer to Tokyo after Sunday's U.S. Swimming Olympic Trials in Omaha. 

According to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, McHugh swam a pair of personal bests Sunday to advance to the final in the men's 100-yard breaststroke. He registered the fifth-fastest time with a 59.68 in the semifinal heat. The top-seed is Michael Andrew after swimming a time of 58.14.

He swims again Monday, June 14th in the 100 Breaststroke at 6 p.m. with a chance to go to Tokyo on the line on NBC. He could also qualify via the 200 Breaststroke when those events begin on Wednesday.

The Sevastopol softball team hopes their season lasts a little longer when it opens WIAA Tournament play at Iola-Scandanavia.

The Pioneers split their two games at the Stockbridge Tournament its last time out after going 3-5 in conference play. Sasha Laaksonen leads the team with an average of over .400 while Bailey Rikkola and Jolene Luedtke are tied for the team lead for RBI at seven.

Iola-Scandanavia has gone 6-4 in its last 10 games, including a 9-5 loss to Wittenberg-Birnamwood in the regular-season finale.

First pitch is slated for 4:30 p.m.
