Girls BB team aims for growth

Submitted by MTT News on Wed, 11/27/2024 - 16:24

Improvement.

Progress.

Growth.

Middleton’s girls basketball team believes all of the above are certainly possible this season.

The Cardinals have gone 19-31 during Rashard Griffith’s first two seasons as head coach, and are 0-2 in the postseason. That’s in sharp contrast to the Jeff Kind-era where the Hall of Fame coach led Middleton to 12 state tournament appearances and three trips to the state finals during his 30 years at the helm.

But Griffith and the Cardinals believe better days are ahead.

Middleton returns a gifted group of guards, adds talented post Macey Blazek — a transfer student from just outside Nashville, Tenn. — and hopes to be one of the most improved teams in the Big Eight Conference.

It was a memorable season for Middleton’s girls volleyball team.

MHS swimmers/divers repeat

Submitted by MTT News on Thu, 11/21/2024 - 09:27

WAUKESHA — Middleton’s girls swimming and diving team had to feel pretty good about themselves as they walked out of the Waukesha South natatorium in Nov., 2023.

After all, the Cardinals were exiting as WIAA Division 1 state champs for the first time since 2018.

As Middleton dove back into the familiar pool once again last Saturday, it knew one thing for certain: As good as last year’s squad was, this year’s team was even better.

Sure enough, that proved to be the case, as the Cardinals won all three relays and rolled to their second straight state title.

Middleton finished with 334 points to easily outdistance runner-up Verona (211). Arrowhead (200.5), Muskego (165.0) and Oregon (153.0) rounded out the top five.

MHS golfers earn postseason honors

Submitted by MTT News on Thu, 11/21/2024 - 09:25

To the victors go the spoils.

Few teams won more than Middleton’s girls golfers this fall, as the Cardinals rolled to the Big Eight Conference title and finished third at the WIAA Division 1 state meet.

So it was a no-brainer the Cardinals dominated when it came to postseason awards.

Junior Annika Jafferis was named the Big Eight Conference’s Player of the Year and earned third-team all-state honors. Junior Sydney Weiss and senior Emily Utter were both named first-team all-conference and honorable-mention all-state.

Senior Maddy Wilcox was named second-team all-conference and honorable-mention all-state. And senior Arya Wickramasinha was named second-team all-Big Eight.

Jafferis had 16 nine-hole rounds under 40 this season and had one nine-hole round under par. Jafferis averaged 40.7 per nine holes this year, down from 51.3 her freshman season.
