Sports Editor of the Steele County Times. I cover the teams and athletes of Owatonna, Blooming Prairie, Medford and NRHEG High Schools. Opinions are my own.

[Alex Nuehring @SctSports1]

I couldn’t have asked for better co-workers and I’m grateful for all the activities directors, coaches and athletes who have helped me serve the great people of Steele County. I couldn’t have done it without you! I’m not sure what I’ll do next but I’m excited to see what happens.

After nearly one year writing for the Steele County Times and two years with Bussler Publishing, I’ve decided to step away from my role as sports editor. I’ve really enjoyed covering the Blooming Prairie, Owatonna, Medford and NRHEG teams and athletes. 1/2
