Bednarek, Jaworski Shine at Wisconsin State Meet By Mary Albl of DyeStat At the Wisconsin State High School Track and Field Championships Friday and Saturday, Kenneth Bednarek made another case for why he's one of the all-time best sprinters in state history. At the University of Wisconsin in La Crosse, the Rice Lake senior swept the sprints, winning the Division 2 100, 200 and 400.
