Boys track team wins Watertown Invite

Submitted by MTT News Desk on Wed, 04/24/2013 - 17:51
Back in 2011, Middleton’s boys track and field team was headed to the Watertown Invitational for the first time.
Cardinals head coach Isaac Mezera rose to give his speech on the bus ride over. And Mezera thought he’d have a little fun with it.
“I said, ‘Guys, we are undefeated at this meet, let’s keep it that way,’” Mezera recalled. “I was a joke. Now it has become a tradition.”
Indeed it has.
Middleton notched a third straight title at the seven-team Watertown Invite with an impressive showing Saturday. The Cardinals finished with 159 points and edged runner-up Janesville Craig (157). 
“It sets a good tone for the season winning our first outdoor invitational,” mezera said. “Hopefully we can use it as some positive momentum in such a rainy year.”
They should, as Middleton had several top performances along their way to the championship.

Girls softball team tops La Follette

Submitted by MTT News Desk on Wed, 04/24/2013 - 17:48
It wasn’t the most orthodox way to win a game.
But Middleton’s girls softball team didn’t mind.
Madison La Follette ace Nicole Newman hurled a no-hitter and struck out 18 Middleton batters Monday afternoon. But the visiting Cardinals rallied for a ninth inning run and upended the Lancers, 1-0.
“It was a really fun game to watch and be a part of,” Middleton manager Arin Oppermann said. “It was obvious from the time we stepped off the bus that they were ready to play some ball.  
“At no point in the game was I worried we wouldn't come out ahead. Between our solid defense and the energy they brought to the field, I knew good things were going to happen. They played hard, maintained their focus, and kept their energy up throughout the entire game. I’m so proud of those girls.”
Middleton pitcher Ashley Stzzormer threw a complete-game shutout, struck out seven and picked up the win.

MHS girls on the right track

Submitted by MTT News Desk on Wed, 04/24/2013 - 17:48
With the spring weather being more miserable than any in recent memory, teams have had a hard time gauging just where they stand.
After last Saturday’s Watertown Invite, though, Middleton’s girls track and field team felt awfully good about itself.
Neenah won the eight-team event with 143 points, while the Cardinals and Janesville Craig tied for second at 116.
“Finishing second overall was a great morale booster,” Middleton coach Tara Franklin said.
Rightfully so.
Middleton’s distance teams led the way.
Bobbi Patrick, Darcy Dean, Rachel Wians and Sam Valentine took first place in the 3,200 meter relay with a time of 10:08.46. That’s currently the fourth best time on the state honor roll.
Middleton’s 1,600-meter relay team of Patrick, Emily Zeker, Kayla Bauhs and Anna Garren was first in 4:11.54. That’s the fifth-best time on the state honor roll.

Girls soccer team starts strong

Submitted by MTT News Desk on Wed, 04/24/2013 - 17:47
Middleton’s girls soccer team had an impressive week, winning three of its four games. The Cardinals improved to 4-1 on the year.
Here’s a recap of Middleton’s week:
• Middleton 2, Oshkosh West 1 — The Cardinals scored twice in the final eight minutes and notched an impressive win over the Wildcats Saturday morning.
Trailing, 1-0, junior Leah Peterman beat a pair of defenders down the right side and slotted the ball to Ellen Jesse three yards off the goal line. Jesse then tapped it into the goal to tie the game, 1-1, in the 72nd minute. 
Five minutes later, Caroline Keenan was trapped on the right side with few options, then sent a diagonal cross to the weak side. Brenna Shea was waiting, and headed it into the back of the net to give Middleton a 2-1 lead.
“It was a great team effort with multiple players putting time on the field,” Middleton coach Mary Duffy said. “And it was a good come from behind win.”

Baseball Cards spilt a pair

Submitted by MTT News Desk on Wed, 04/24/2013 - 17:46

Middleton’s baseball team has spent most of the spring starving for games.

Saturday afternoon, the Cardinals had a chance for a feast.

Unfortunately for Middleton, it left the dinner table still hungry.

The Cardinals toppled Beloit Memorial, 3-2, in the first of two games played that day. In the second game, though, Madison West toppled the Cardinals, 3-2, in 10 innings.

Middleton is now 2-1 on the young season

“Our pitching has been really good so far,” said Middleton manager Tom Schmitt, whose game against Madison La Follette Tuesday was rained out. “Our hitting has a ways to go.”

In the Cardinals’ win over Beloit Memorial, Brian Lochner went 2-for-3. Both Jackson Keeler and Reese Felton had doubles, as well.

Middleton scored all three of its runs in the first inning.

With two outs, Brian Lochner singled and stole second base. Tanner Meinholz reached on an error and Casey Miller followed with a run-scoring single.
