They all also finished with the best record in school history as well as the best conference finish in school history. Repking has served as the baseball recruiting coordinator since 2019.

In 2022, helped the polars finish number 3 in the nation in Home Runs and Slugging Percentage. They also finished top 25 in the country in Batting Average, Doubles, HR/Per Game, Runs, Scoring, and Stolen Bases. Several players were on the NCAA leaderboard hitting the ball, with Kyle Schroedle - ending his season number two in the country in Home Runs (23) and Seth Betts finishing the year number one in the country in stolen bases (42). Schroedle went on to be named ABCA First-Team All American, the first in the program's history. For the second consecutive year three players were selected to All-Region teams, with Schroedle earning a roster spot in the premier Northwoods League, a collegiate summer league known for producing MLB talent. Brooks excels at finding and developing talent, with 2021 UMAC Rookie of the Year Mason Brock being a great example.

During his time with the Storm, he was a team captain and started every game in his two-year tenure, all at first base. In Repking's senior season, the Storm reached the UMAC Playoffs for the first time and haven't missed the postseason since.
