Raduka Champions Success of OHS Athletic Programs
There are lots of ways to measure the impact of a high school athletic program in a community, but one of those measures, and perhaps the most common, is the competitive success of those programs. At Oconomowoc High School, that measure has improved dramatically over the last four school years.
In a report given to the Oconomowoc Area School District Board of Education Tuesday evening, Athletic Director Scott Raduka revealed that the high’s athletic program has enjoyed unprecedented success competitively.
To bolster his point, Raduka cited the school’s winning of the Wisconsin Little Ten conference all-sports title for the second year in a row and its finish in the top three for six out of the last eight years. Additionally, the number of OHS teams winning conference championships this season (2012-2013) in the Wisconsin Little Ten conference: eight. Just four years ago, in 2010-2011, that number was two.
Raduka also said the number of Cooney athletes earning all-conference honors in all sports (first-team, second-team or honorable mention), was a huge 170, versus the 71 honored in 2010-2011. Raduka also pointed to the awarding of Division 1 athletic scholarships this year (6), a record for the school in a given school year.
Another statistic demonstrating the growth of the athletic program is the number of students who are participating, at some level, on one of the school’s 23 teams (19 varsity-level and four club sports). This school year the total was 641 student/athletes, up from 470 in 2010-2011.
