Another year, another Big Eight Conference title.
This one was far tougher to achieve than the rest, though.
Middleton’s girls swimming and diving team won the league title last Saturday with 653 points and edged runner-up Verona (620). Madison West (404), Madison Memorial (265) and Sun Prairie West (132) rounded out the top five.
“We were very excited to win another conference championship this year,” Middleton coach R.J. Leiferman said. “It was one of the closest conference meets we have had in years, but our girls handled the pressure really well.”
A big reason for Middleton’s victory was it captured two of the three relays and all of its ‘B’ relays placed fourth, or higher.
The Cardinals’ 400-yard freestyle relay team of Audrey Alexander, Piper Garcia Hall, Brynn Sundell and Tait Haag was first, while the foursome of Isabell Frommelt, Clara Kiehl, Irene Lee and Lily Mair was fourth.
