Crunch time has arrived for Middleton’s boys swimming team.
And the Cardinals appear ready to finish the season with a bang.
Middleton finished in third place at the 21-team Madison West Invitational last Saturday at the UW-Natatorium. And with the postseason now here, the Cardinals seem ready to make a splash.
“The meet went really well for us,” Middleton coach Luke Lengfeld said. “We had a number of season best times or personal best times. We are swimming fast at the right time and it’s really setting us up for a very successful championship season.”
Madison Memorial won the meet with 534 points, while Madison West (283), Middleton (224), Eau Claire Memorial/North (186) and Waukesha South/Catholic Memorial (182) rounded out the top five.
Middleton is at the Big Eight Conference meet Saturday at Beloit Memorial at 2 p.m. The Cardinals then host the Middleton Sectional Feb. 15 and are at the WIAA Division 1 state meet Feb. 22.
