Five Warhawks NSCA All-America Honors

Five Warhawks have earned All-America honors from the National Strength and Conditioning Association this year. Honorees include baseball's Cade Honkamp (Brookfield, Wis./Brookfield East), football's Patrick Lippe (Port Washington, Wis./Port Washington), women's basketball's Renee Rittmeyer (Winnebago, Ill./Winnebago), men's basketball's Isaac Verges (Franklin, Wis./Franklin) and women's soccer's Jasmine Wilson (Sussex, Wis./Sussex-Hamilton).

Below are quotes from Director of Sports Performance Lee Munger and Sports Performance Coach John Schimenz on each athlete recognized with All-America honors. 

CADE HONKAMP | BASEBALL | JUNIOR | INFIELD
"Cade has improved tremendously each year both on the field and in the weight room due to his hard work.  He was a member of the National Championship team in 2025 and has locked down a starting position this year as the Warhawks try to win back to back titles.  Cade has all the qualities you look for in a student-athlete with his leadership standing out.  His teammates look up to him and he elevates the room with his work ethic." ~Lee Munger

PATRICK LIPPE | FOOTBALL | SENIOR | WIDE RECEIVER
"Great teammate, great leader, great worker." ~Corey Meredith

RENEE RITTMEYER | WOMEN'S BASKETBALL | SENIOR | GUARD
"The growth of Renee during her time as a Warhawk has been staggering.  Yes, physically, she has improved her strength, speed, agility, hops, and basketball skills.  However, I am more impressed with her improvement in leadership and mental skills.  In tense situations, even if she is freaking out on the inside, on the outside, Renee keeps her composure, which also helps her teammates stay calm, too.  She is constantly giving words of encouragement and gives great feedback to her teammates to help them get better.  It is clear she is the "mother hen" of the team and has stepped up big-time with her performance, especially offensively, to fill the void left by the previous senior class.  During her career, she has helped the Warhawks achieve multiple conference titles and NCAA tournament appearances." ~John Schimenz 

ISAAC VERGES | MEN'S BASKETBALL | SENIOR | GUARD
"If you are looking for the perfect leader, Isaac fits the bill.  He is one of the hardest working members of his team, pushing himself past his limits, and is often the last one to finish his workouts.  More than that, though, he makes his teammates better, whether it be through motivational speeches to get them hyped, constructive feedback to help them improve, or words of encouragement to boost their spirits when they are down.  In addition, he gives me great insight on how the team is doing and how to make the workouts better.  Because of his efforts, he has helped the Warhawks win their first regular-season conference title in over 10 years.  Bottom-line, if I were trapped in a foxhole, Isaac would be someone that I would want by my side." ~John Schimenz 

JASMINE WILSON | WOMEN'S SOCCER | SOPHOMORE | FORWARD/MIDFIELDER
"Jasmine has been a very hard worker with her strength and conditioning activities her first 2 years at UWW.  She leads by example through her work ethic and her teammates feed off that.  Her efforts in the weight room and conditioning sessions have helped her develop into a strong player on the field and she is set up for a strong campaign this coming fall." ~Lee Munger
