Walsh girls basketball’s Jensen Renquist broke the state record for free throws made in a game last Friday.

Renquist, a freshman, made 24-of-26 free throws in a double-overtime loss to Wiley. The previous record was 23, set originally by Greeley West’s Lesa Morrill in 1988, and later tied by Taiylor Holland of Swink in 2014.

Renquist is just the 12th player in history to hit more than 20 free throws in a game, including Chatfield’s Grace Talbot, who was 20-of-20 in a game against Doherty earlier in January.

Renquist finished the game with 40 points, a career high, along with 13 rebounds, five blocks, four assists and a steal. Her previous career high was 21 points.

Walsh has a roster of just five players, and each of them played the entire game against Wiley.
