Boys track team shines at Middleton Invite

If the Middleton Relays taught Middleton’s boys track team anything, it’s that their distance teams can likely compete against anyone in the state. 

The Cardinals,  who feature many of the same runners from the state qualifying cross country team, swept the distance events in the diverse 11-team field at the Relays last Friday.

The distance runners made it look easy and helped Middleton finish with 107.33 points and a second place team finish at Breitenbach Stadium. Verona won the meet with 139 points, while Madison Memorial was third with 99 points

Middleton’s second team in the meet, Middleton White, finished ninth with 26 points.

“I was really pleased with the meet tonight, especially seeing other Big Eight teams load their relays and knowing where we stand against them,” said Middleton coach Joe Line. “For our guys competition-wise, it was good to have success but it was also good to get beat in events so we can see where we’re at moving forward.”

Girls third at Middleton Invite

When asked what it was like going up against 10 other teams in the Middleton Relays last Friday, the Cardinals’ girls track and field team agreed on one thing: competing in a meet this size shows them where they stand and that definitely pushes them.

Middleton had a strong showing and finished in third place with 109 points. Madison Memorial won the event with 139 points, while Waunakee was second (115).

“Usually at meets when we go to duals we win by a lot, and that’s not to say we’re the best, but we are just at a higher level when competing,” said Middleton senior Hadley Braaten. “Tonight, we were a little bit closer and it was a little bit harder; it made us work really hard with all these other teams here.”

Middleton coach Cory Christnovich was pleased with the third-place finish at the Relays.
