The 2026 Myrhum Invitational team titles were swept by host Arrowhead on Saturday, May 9.
The event, which is considered one of the state’s best meets throughout the outdoor season, saw the Warhawks dominate and capture their fourth straight girls team title in a row and the fifth in the last six years of the meet. The boys squeaked past Homestead with 54 total points for their third straight team title at the meet, winning the championship by a single point over the Highlanders and six points over third-place Wisconsin Lutheran.
Here’s a look at some of the standout performances from the event, starting with the girls.

11.95), breaking her own school record she recently set by .09 seconds. She narrowly clipped Arrowhead’s Avery Bott by .03 seconds in the 200 final 24.17) and also helped Mukwonago set a meet record in the 4x200 with a time of 1:38.98.

Elise Schroeder also ran a leg on the winning 4x100 relay team and won the pole vault competition with a best leap of 13-6. That vault is also the new benchmark in the pole vault across the state this outdoor season.
