Middleton’s ‘Best of the best’ — Girls edition

Submitted by MTT News on Wed, 07/16/2025 - 11:20

Middleton’s girls sports programs have been some of the best in the state for years now.

And that certainly didn’t change during the 2024-‘25 school year.

Middleton’s girls swimming team won a state title. The Cardinals’ girls golfers were third at state.

And several teams won Big Eight Conference titles behind memorable performances from a bevy of standout athletes.

That made picking Middleton’s ‘Best of the Best’ as hard as ever.

Last week, we picked the top performances on the boys side. This week, we’ll award the top girls.

 

Team of the Year
