Brewer had a big day at the plate on Wednesday as the Vikings pushed their winning streak to five games with a home 12-0, 20-0 United Kansas Conference doubleheader sweep over city rival Topeka West.

Brewer hit a home run in the first game against the Chargers and had a three-run double in the second game to help power the Vikings' offensive attack.

Harper opened her 2026 track season in last Friday's Topeka High Invitational with wins in the 200-meter dash (27.00) and 400 (62.39).
