The Southern Door track team opens its 2026 season Saturday at the Willmore Center at Ripon College.

Competing teams include Wisconsin Lutheran, Oconomowoc, West Bend West, Stevens Point Area Senior High, Kettle Moraine, Kimberly, Fond du Lac, Neenah, Oshkosh West, Janesville Parker, Verona Area, Bonduel, Coleman, Fox Valley Lutheran, Freedom, Hortonville, Kiel, Monroe, New Holstein, Pacelli, Port Washington, Ripon, Rosholt, Wautoma, Winneconne, Marquette University High School, Baraboo and Shawano.

The Eagles return state qualifier Elise Jackson, who competed in the 100- and 300-meter hurdles.

The meet begins at 4 p.m.

Miss Cherryland Teen Elise Jackson has a rare opportunity to continue the work she started a year ago when she was selected as Miss Door County Teen. Jackson was recently added back to the Miss Door County Scholarship Organization roster after relinquishing her crown to Mia Glocke at the Miss Door County Pageant last month.

Hoping to compete again despite a lack of available contests, the Miss Door County Scholarship Program opted to allow Jackson to represent the county again as an at-large competitor.

Last year, Jackson’s community service initiative, “Next Gen Civics: Igniting Youth Engagement in Civics,” led to her creating a new badge for Girl Scouts to earn while they learn about getting involved in government. Jackson took great pride in first introducing the award to her own Girl Scout unit.

Last summer, Jackson was named third runner-up in the Miss Wisconsin’s Teen competition, which was the second year in a row a Miss Door County pageant contestant finished in the top five at the Miss Wisconsin competition.

Jackson will join Miss Door County Kaylee Griep, Miss Door County Teen Mia Glocke, and Miss Cherryland Paige Nikodem as they travel across the county over the next year promoting their community service initiatives, which will be highlighted individually this week. The quartet also will compete in the Miss Wisconsin and Miss Wisconsin’s Teen competitions, scheduled for June 16-20, 2026, in New Berlin.
