The Lady Leafs’ season came to an early end this past week as Sterling ousted Geneseo from the playoffs in the regional championship. Geneseo reached the championship game by defeating Rock Island earlier in the week.

It was a historic weekend for Geneseo High School and the boys’ track and field program as senior Curt Jensen, in his first IHSA State Final appearance, medaled in both of the events he qualified for May 29 and 30 at the state meet in Charleston.

The Geneseo Lady Leaf soccer team ran over its first hurdle May 18 in the first round of IHSA regional play with a commanding 8-0 win over Rock Island in Geneseo.
