VERONA — The first round of the WIAA Division 1 girls state golf tournament held Monday at picturesque University Ridge was the warmest in history at 85 degrees.
Day 2, which topped out at 74 degrees, was another chamber of commerce afternoon.
So as Middleton senior Addison Schnarr neared the end of her terrific high school career, she soaked in every moment.
“This sure beats school,” Schnarr deadpanned. “Don’t tell my teachers.”
We won’t.
The Cardinals, a team few would have picked to reach state last month, surprised many and qualified for state for a remarkable 15th straight year. Middleton then had a solid showing, finishing ninth at the 12-team state meet.
DSHA won its fourth straight state title with a 634, while Bay Port (645) and DeForest (647) gave the mighty Dashers a mini-scare. Middleton finished at 710, one shot back of eighth place Arrowhead (709).
