of Wisconsin-Stout women’s basketball team. She leads the Blue Devils in steals
and assists through eight games this season.

Kyleigh Hebert, a 2012 graduate of Spencer High School, is the starting point guard for the University of Wisconsin-Stout women’s basketball team.

Hebert, a senior, has started all eight games for the Blue Devils this season and is second on the team in scoring at 10.6 points and rebounding at 5.3 per game. She leads the team in assists with 48 and steals with 23.

UW-Stout was 4-4 heading into play at the Music City Classic in Nashville, Tenn., where it played Penn State-Behrend on Dec. 29 and Hamilton College (N.Y.) on Dec. 30. The Blue Devils host St. Mary’s University (Minn.) on Saturday before opening Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference play Jan. 6 at UW-Whitewater.

Colby’s Kaiser wraps up cross country season

Amanda Kaiser, a 2013 graduate of Colby High School, recently completed her junior season as a member of the NCAA Division II Winona State University (Minn.) cross country team.

Kaiser had a season-best performance of 19:45 in the UW-Parkside Midwest Invitational in Somers, Wis., on Sept. 12 in a 5,000-meter race.

Her best 6,000-meter finish in her junior season came at the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Meet at Falcon Heights, Minn., on Oct. 24, when she ran a time of 23:29 to place 20th and earn second-team all-conference honors.

the 1,000-point mark for her career as a member of the NCAA Division II
University of Sioux Falls (S.D.) women’s basketball team.

Taylor Varsho, a 2012 graduate of Marshfield High School, recently surpassed the 1,000-point plateau as she is finishing her career at NCAA Division II University of Sioux Falls (S.D.).

Varsho scored 23 points to help USF to an 88-72 victory over Southwest Minnesota State on Dec. 19, pushing her career points total to 1,010. She was 5-for-11 from 3-point range in the win, and the Cougars move to 11-1 overall, the best start in program history.
