STEVENS POINT, Wis. – Sandy Zastrow, the printer at the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association for the past 35 years, will be retiring from the organization, effective Dec. 31, 2025. 

Zastrow joined the staff in 1990 to operate the press and coordinate in-house print productions and publications, including the Season Regulations, Senior High Handbook, Middle Level Handbook, School Directories, several State Tournament programs and various other sport-specific materials. In addition, she performed the production of membership forms, line-up cards, envelopes and several other booklets, which accounted for nearly 950,000,000 impressions. 

Additional responsibilities during her career at the WIAA included coordinating and processing all daily outgoing and incoming mail, as well as the mass all-school mailings, officials’ rule book shipments and all other shipping and receiving of items.

Among the other contributions to the executive office and the membership were the proof-reading of media and school correspondences, general building maintenance and office receptionist. In addition, she worked as a corner judge in the floor exercise for the State Gymnastics Championships at Wisconsin Rapids Lincoln High School for more than 20 years.

“Sandy’s years of experience and commitment to serving the membership and the relationships she has formed with our staff has been astounding,” Executive Director Stephanie Hauser said. “We will miss her institutional knowledge, organization skills, attention to detail, work ethic – and most of all – her friendship and the hospitable manner in which she treated our staff as well as anyone who visited our office.”

The WIAA, as defined by its Constitution, is a private, voluntary, unincorporated, and nonprofit organization. The membership oversees interscholastic athletic programs for 515 senior high schools and 30 junior high/middle level schools in its membership.
