MIDDLETON–Sunflower
Days will remain cancelled for
2018 as a last-ditch effort by the
town of Middleton to assume

event from the Friends of Pope

failed at Monday’s Town Board
meeting.
By a four to one vote, with
Board Supervisor Brent Ren-
teria dissenting, the board
approved a motion to have
something other than sunflow-
ers planted in a nine-acre plot
at the conservancy effectively
killing the event.
Summing up Sunflower
Days’ unsolved problems,
Board Supervisor Richard
Oberle backed his motion say-
ing, “We need to take a break
from this. Let it ride. They’ll be
back next year.”
The FPFC notified the town
in April that it would not hold
the annual sunflower celebra-
tion which last year was at-
tended by an estimated 92,000
people.
Since then, the town’s Park
Commission considered plans
to alleviate parking problems
by shutting attendees from

Richard said she feels that
the neighborhood notification
system needs to be expanded
as many people reported feel-
ing left out of the input pro-
cess. Paulsen asked what state
law was for notification and
what standard the city has been
using. Opitz said state law re-
quires notifications to be given
to any property owner within
100 feet while the city has been
doing 250 feet but could expand
further.
Council president Susan
West pointed out a lot of the
concern has been about the
appearance of the back of the
building to neighboring houses.
Paulsen said the front of the
building was already cut down
to three stories. He said the
setback could be on the back
instead or the cottage could be
removed.
Plan commission member
Cindy Zellars said she thought a
corridor plan was good idea but
there was already an application
in front of them they needed to
vote on.
Paulsen asked the developer
to answer a few questions about
the size of the building.
Developer Anthony Gray
said they considered removing
the first floor but that would get
rid of parking that is required
by city ordinance and the lobby.
He said they looked at taking off
the fourth floor but that would
eliminate 11 units which would

an admission fee to raise rev-
enue for operating expenses,

or have FPFC volunteers staff

the parking logistics. However,
the FPFC was not interested in
their reduced role, said Hoferle.
Also, the town did not have the
staff to take on managing the
event and there was not time to
hire an event planner to run it,
she said.
“Our gut feeling is that there
is not enough time to do it
well…But it’s important for the
town to take control over this,”
said Hoferle speaking for the
commission.
Instead, she suggested the
town sign an operating agree-
ment with the FPFC for Sun-
flower Days and other events
at the conservancy on Old Sauk
Road and announce Sunflower
Days would return next year.
Sunflower Days seemed to
be a victim of its own success
as attendance has grown 50 per-
cent in the past two years, faster
than organizers can keep up
with the crowds, Pray said.
“We want to make the con-
servancy work and Sunflower

she said.

“There is no scenario where

developer chose to preserve it

ling Sunflower Days too late to
continue it this year, saying they
knew the parking problems the
day after the event was over but
didn’t announce the cancella-
tion in time for anyone else to
run the event.
Stung by the remarks, Pray
said the FPFC “didn’t set on
our hands,” but spent the sub-
sequent months checking into
shuttle bus operations, charging
an admission and getting more
help to run the event.
Freedom Fest, a volunteer-led
Fourth of July parade, 5K run
and picnic at Pioneer Park, also
needs management help, said
organizer Mike Hanson.
After eight years, Hanson
told the board he no longer
wanted the liability if someone
was injured during the fami-
ly-oriented event that has grown
to about 500 participants.
“I’ll probably be back next
year but I need to step aside,”
he said.
Beer is served along with
brats and hot dogs which further
hikes the liability, said Town
Attorney Eileen Brownlee. The
town purchased special event
insurance last year but if the
town takes over the event, for-
mal arrangements are needed,

done to minimize the back of
the building. Ott said there are
already mature trees that create
a buffer that would remain.
Paulsen said he reviewed the

a three-story building was pos-
sible. He said it would only be
possible if there were a few less
units and no parking.

The town lacks “the infra-
structure” or service organi-
zations to manage its annual
events, several said Monday.
The city of Middleton has an
event planner on staff and its
recreation department took
over managing West Middleton

after the volunteer operators
tired of running it for decades.
Connell suggested Hanson
oversee Freedom Fest this year
but “do something with the bud-
get,” for next year’s event.
Resident Horst Gierke said
the festival was a largely a
neighborhood event with alco-
hol that shouldn’t be held in a
public park.
“They should party at their
million-dollar homes instead,”
he said.
While it’s great that volun-
teers step forward and take re-
sponsibility for events, those
who set them up, “can’t do it for
the rest of their lives,” another
resident said.
On advice from Brownlee,
the board directed town staff
to determine if Freedom Fest
needs special event insurance
again this year and take up the

meeting.

Wyse Initiative Aims to Make LGBT Students Feel Safe
BY MICHELLE PHILLIPS
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON–Zoe Wyse
wants everyone to feel safe.
That’s why the Middleton teen
has started the #Ifeelsaferwhen
initiative.
Wyse got the idea while she
was attending a writing camp
in the summer of 2017 called
Rise Up & Write. The camp is
held at UW-Madison and is an
advocacy writing event for high
school students.
The idea she pursued during
camp was how to make LGBT
students feel safer. Wyse wants
to help stamp out bullying and
intolerance through education,
and when she returned from
camp she set about that mis-
sion.
Her first step was to get peo-
ple interested in what she was
doing, so she made buttons
stating #Ifeelsaferwhen, and al-
though the initiative name starts
with a hashtag, she stresses that
it not just a social media move-
ment. In fact, one of the things
she hopes to do is create train-
ing kits for the Middleton-Cross
Plains Area School District to
help educators teach students
tolerance and acceptance. She
wants to do hands on research
in classrooms to help shape the
content of the kits.
“I see that as my senior proj-
ect,” Wyse said of the kits. She
added, “When it comes from
a peer, I think it is easier to
get the point across. Students
speaking to students, I think
it has a powerful effect. I also
want other students who have
experienced bullying or exclu-
sion to speak out.”

the cited reason for the policy
change, with a drop in bird count
numbers.
Darren Marsh, Dane County
Parks Director, said the input is
being gathered after the FPBC
came to the parks department
proposing the change. “We are
just collecting input from the pub-
lic and stakeholders at this time,
and no change in policy has been
made,” he stressed.
This seemed to be a miscon-
ception at the meeting, which had
the majority of people opposed
to the change. Currently dogs are
allowed in the area on a leash no
longer than six feet.
Those who attended received a
handout with data concerning the
impact of dogs on wildlife and
nesting areas as well as informa-
tion collected by the Dog Policy

Wyse has been active in pro-
tests, including the transgender
bathroom bill, March for Our
Lives at the state capitol, and
most recently the student walk
in at Middleton High School
on the anniversary of the Col-
umbine shootings. She says
#ifeelsaferwhen is also a social
justice issue, and admits that
the close proximity to Madison
is helpful because people are
concerned with social justices,
and there are many resources
available in the area.
“Walkouts and marches
would be a good platform for
my work because the message
is about not feeling safe,” she
added. “If I were in most other
places in Wisconsin, this may
not work out.”
Wyse says she thinks the
initiative has room for collab-
oration with other groups. She
hopes to recruit volunteers to
help once she gets the organi-
zation off the ground. She said
she has an unofficial advisor
at Clark Street School where
she attends. “Corrine Neil has
helped me work through the
grant proposal and connect with
the UW-Madison Law and En-
trepreneur Clinic. She has a lot
on her plate and I really appre-
ciate her helping move things

The main thing Wyse wants
people to take away from the
program is that they can help
by speaking out. “This really
applies to everyone, and I want
people to feel safe in their com-
munity,” she concluded.
the FPBC.
Marsh gave information about
the county’s role and the land
area involved in the proposal.
He told the group that 160 acres
of the conservancy are owned by
Dane County Parks. He posed
the question, “Is Dane County
against dogs?” Responding “Ab-
solutely not.” He went on to say
that the county has responded to
off leash dog requests by creating
off leash parks in the area.
He was followed by Lloyd
Eagan of FPBC, who said the
goal is to preserve the area for
generations to come. Eagan said
in the past nine years dogs off
leash have become more of a
problem, which is why the task
force was formed. Surveys were
also sent to members of the
Pheasant Branch Conservancy,
36 percent of which were re-
turned, and interviews of people
School Board
Recognizes FCP, Reviews
Referendum Survey
BY CAMERON BREN
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON–As the facility
planning committee (FPC) comes
to a close with the last meet-
ing held on May 16, the school
board recognized the work done
at its May 7 meeting. Coinciding
with the recognition the board re-
viewed the results of community
surveys which show strong sup-
port for a referendum to build a
new school or expanding current
facilities.
School board president Bob
Green said the work of the com-
mittee has been tremendously
valuable to the district. Despite
the meetings coming to an end
the district will still need the ex-
pertise from committee members
to advocate and make the case in
support of a referendum.
“While the meetings may end,
your role as moving us forward
will not end,” Green said.
After reviewing trends and
projection in enrollment growth
and numerous options for facility
expansion the FPC recommended
a plan that calls for expanding the
high school and building a new
middle school on district owned
land near Pope Farm Conser-
vancy. The estimated cost of
construction is $94 to 104 million
for the high school expansion and
$34.7 to $41.5 million for the new
middle school.
Consultants hired by the
district to estimate enrollment
growth projected the district’s
middle schools to be over capac-
ity by more than 200 students
in the park were conducted as
well. She gave an overview of the
data from several universities as
well as observation numbers. The
University of New South Wales,
Australia, found that that walk-
ing dogs in natural areas reduces
both numbers of birds and variety
of species. A Yale School of For-
estry and Environmental Studies
claims that fear of dogs is more
impactful than dogs preying on
birds. The book A Field Guide to
the Santa Rosa Plateau Riverside
County, California, cites tram-
pling of vegetation is a problem
in natural areas with both dogs
and hikers. Another study from
a Portland Metro Parks and Na-
ture specialist reviewed 75 papers
finding than people with dogs
cause more destruction to nature
than humans without a dog, call-
ing the evidence of dog impact,
“overwhelming.”
In addition, FPBC relied on
field data from local birder Mike
McDowell. McDowell stated
that by observing the bird in the
area over the past 30 years, he
has notice a decline in the num-
ber of ground nesting birds in
recent years. “My census data is
all online and public document,”
McDowell told the crowd. My
findings show it is not predation
by native mammals. It is correla-
tion, not causation. I can’t prove
it, but it’s a strong correlation.”
He said that places that don’t
allow dogs don’t have a problem.
Immediately, members of the
audience began to resist the data
presented, shouting out com-
ments. They felt that McDowell’s
observations were not proof of a
problem. They also had concerns
within five years and by nearly
700 students in 10 years.
To get an idea of community
support the district hired School
Perceptions to survey the com-
munity. School Perceptions
owner Bob Foster said the re-
sults show a majority in support
among all groups.
Foster said paper and elec-
tronic surveys were sent to all
district residents and in total there
were 3,382 responses for about
an 18 percent participation rate.
Foster noted the survey yields a
margin of error of +/- 1.7 percent.
Overall 79 percent of all
groups support a referendum.
Foster broke that down to dis-
trict staff which are 92 percent
in support, parents at 86 percent
and non-parent-non-staff at 65
percent. Foster said the latter are
most important because they have
most votes in the community.
Foster added that 77 percent of
respondents felt the district has a
positive impact on home value,
11 percent little to no impact,
three percent negative and 11
percent indicted they did not own
a home and would be unaffected.
Despite overwhelming sup-
port for pursuing a referendum,
23 percent responded favorable
to delaying any action and re-
visiting in two to five years and
12 percent responded not sure or
needed more information.
Foster said he believes there is
strong support for a total less than
$140 million but said that is prob-
ably the limit. School Perceptions

about no citations of professional
findings from the area, but rather
other states and Australia.
Marsh reminded those speak-
ing out that they would all get
a chance to say their piece and
began going around the room
allowing everyone three minutes.
Some doubted that there was
a problem, mostly neighbors,
who said that they do not see
off leash dogs very often. There
were suggestions that more data
be collected or that trail cams be
installed to record activities in
that portion of the park.
Minutes into the input, Mc-
Dowell became angry and
stormed out of the room after
stopping at the door, “You don’t
even know what’s there folks.
Ignorance. Bye.” He shouted and
pushed through the door.
Comments continued with a
handful of people supporting
the ban. One man stated that the
whole idea of a conservancy was
to conserve the land.
A woman named Cheryl with
a service dog stated, “I want to
make sure I am doing the right
thing for the environment.
At one point someone ques-
tioned conservation measures by
FPBC, while another praised their
efforts.
The county will continue to
take input from the public through
May 22, and Marsh made the
point that the county is working
only in an advisory capacity on
this matter.

County and Farmers Must Work
Together to Improve Health of Lakes
BY MATT GEIGER
Times-Tribune
Farms, like all major industries,
must already follow environ-
mental requirements to control
runoff from fields, pastures and
livestock facilities. Wisconsin
adopted administrative rules
in 2002 (NR 151), with revi-
sions in 2011 that set statewide
performance standards and
prohibitions for all Wisconsin
farms. All farmers must com-
ply with these standards and
prohibitions. Cost-share fund-
ing may be available to assist
with compliance, but one Dane
County supervisor says the
Healthy Farms, Healthy Lakes
Task Force could recommend
freeing up additional funding
for farmers.
Supervisor Nikki Jones rep-
resents the Dane County
Board’s 28th district, includ-
ing the communities of Cross
Plains, Black Earth, Pine
Bluff and Blue Mounds. As a
member of the Healthy Farms,
Healthy Lakes Task Force, she
says members are working to
come up with initiatives that
will help the watershed with-
out adversely impacting farm-
ers. Speaking the morning after
the task force’s May meeting,
she said no-till practices, crop
rotation, and manure digesters
have all been discussed. But
the group’s formal recommen-
dations still haven’t begun to
take shape.
“I think the key takeaway form
last night’s meeting is that we
want to offer many ideas and
let farmers help choose,” she
Jones.
She said the task force will pri-
oritize possible initiatives in
the coming months. Jones said
she is hopeful that the county
will offer safeguards for farm-
ers who change the way they
do business for the sake of
water quality.
“Change is never easy,” Jones
said. “We’re all doing what
we think works, or what we
thought were the right things
at the time we started doing
them.”
“You have these historic prac-
tices, people have been doing
things the same way for a long
time,” she observed. “Farmers

Middleton Library to Host Screening of Documentary

MIDDLETON–The Middle-
ton Public Library with host a
special screening of the IndieF-
lix documentary, Angst: Raising
Awareness Around Anxiety. The
video will be shown May 30 at
7 p.m.
The IndieFlix Foundation, is
sparking a global conversation
about anxiety through screenings
of the movie. The library event
will feature a viewing of the film,
followed by a brief discussion,
led by Galin Educations’ Di-
rector of Academic Consulting,
Scott Lustostanski; MEd Edu-
cation, MA Community Coun-
seling.
Producers Scilla Andreen and
Karin Gornick have one goal:
to start a global conversation
and raise awareness around
anxiety. Through candid inter-
views, they utilize the power of
film to tell the stories of many
kids and teens who discuss their
anxiety and its impacts on their
lives and relationships, as well
as how they’ve found solutions
and hope. The film also includes
a special interview with Michael
Phelps, a mental health advocate
and one of the greatest athletes
of all-time. In addition, the doc-
umentary provides discussions
with mental health experts about
the causes of anxiety and its so-
ciological effects, along with the
help, resources and tools avail-
able to address the condition.
While Angst documents the
struggle some people have with
anxiety, it also reveals their hope
for the future. Noah, a teenager
in the film, describes it this way:
“Anxiety doesn’t define me. It’s
not just a curse; it also gives me
strength.”
“Everybody needs to know
that anxiety disorders are real,
common and treatable instead
of viewing them as a per-
sonal choice or something to
be ashamed of,” said Dr. Jerry
Bubrick, Senior Director of
Anxiety Disorders Center, Child
Mind Institute. “Getting help
early is crucial in giving people
the tools they need to feel better.
We just need to start the conver-
sation.”
“We felt it was important to
make a movie that could raise
awareness to open up the con-
versation and provide hope,”
said Andreen, IndieFlix CEO
and Angst producer. “So many
people struggle with anxiety and
have trouble talking about it. We
want to change that.”
Anxiety disorders are the most
common mental health challenge
in the U.S., impacting 54 percent
of females and 46 percent of
males, with age seven being the
median age of onset, according
to the World Health Organiza-
tion. While anxiety disorders are
highly treatable, only one-third of
those suffering receive treatment.
Everyone involved in the devel-
opment of Angst has a personal
experience with anxiety – from

surveyed 56 projects over the last
two election cycles and 51 had
support in the survey and were
successful, he said. Foster noted
that one of the others had support
for $25 million but the district de-
cided to ask for $27 million and
lost by three votes.
Along with the capital cost to
build and expand facilities a sec-
ond referendum question would
be asked to fund the operation.
Green said he has also seen in-
stances where the capital ques-
tion will get answered yes but
the operating question will get
answered no.
“It’s the old I went out and
bought a fancy boat, but I can’t
afford to put gas in it,” Foster re-
plied. “You’ve got to be able to
build it and operate it.”
Foster said historically capi-
tal referendums do about eight
percent better than operational
referendums but those numbers
have moved closer together in
recent years. Foster said his the-
ory is people are becoming more
informed about school funding.
School board member Paul
Kinne asked if there was a way to
measure the intensity of the sup-
port either in favor or opposed.
Foster said there was about 15
percent of non-parent, non-staff
that are a strong no.
Green pointed out that referen-
dums are more often supported in
Democratically voting areas. He
said with the timing of the ref-
erendum being in a highly con-

chances. Foster agreed that was
likely.
Superintendent George Mav-

expert analysis on the data he col-
lected. Foster said his job is hard

board whose constituents have
negative views of the district. He
said this time it was some of the

and driving around the bus. Amber lights indicate the bus is about
to come to a stop and red lights mean you must stop. The sign
on the side of the bus is also an indicator that you must stop. A
violation could cost you $326.50 and four points on your driver’s
license, or worse, put a child’s life at risk.
So even though we can finally enjoy roads free of ice and snow,
we still need to be patient and alert when encountering school
buses and pedestrians.
May is Poppy Month
DANE COUNTY–The Cross Plains/Middleton American Le-
gion Auxiliary Post 245, will distribute paper poppies in exchange
for donations to disabled veterans and their families during the
month of May.
The purpose of the Poppy is to remind our members the reason

Poet
dle Press. The book includes a
series of poems, published along-
side the illustrations that inspired
them. In a creative twist, Tomas-
ko’s words were inspired by Au-
berle’s art, and Auberle’s words
were inspired by Tomasko’s art.
The prize was given by the
Wisconsin Fellowship of Poets at
its spring conference in Oshkosh.
Twenty-eight chapbooks were
entered in the competition.
“Dovetail is a gem of a chap-
book,” stated judge Pat Valdata,
an adjunct professor at the Uni-
versity of Maryland University
College where she teaches cre-
ative writing. “It’s one thing to be
an accomplished poet and another
to be an accomplished visual art-
ist, but Jeanie Tomasko and Sha-
ron Auberle are, each of them,
talented in both categories.”
“This book has charming il-
lustrations and equally charming
“The image strikes a chord that
would not otherwise have been
struck. There is an openness of
interpretation afforded by both vi-
sual storytelling and verse, which
allowed the pieces in Dovetail to
wander into a variety of realms,
from the personal to the universal.
“I’m very, very proud of it,”
Auberle said.
“We were very excited, par-
tially because this conference was
actually about collaborations, al-
though the judges who made the
decision didn’t know that at the
time,” Tomasko said.
Tomasko called Wisconsin’s
poetry community “vital and vi-
brant.”
Both collaborators have writ-
ten poetry throughout their ca-
reers.
CHURCH NOTES
“I fell in love with poetry when
I was in seventh grade,” recalled
Tomasko. “I wrote a lot of crap,
then I took some classes. Now, I
can’t live without it.”
“I always wanted to write po-
etry that’s both accessible and
mysterious,” she added. “Poetry
that’s way in to somewhere.”
Auberle, the Door County
Poet Laureate for 2017-19, said
her poetry has evolved with other
aspects of her life.
“Maybe it’s like Pablo Neruda
says, and you don’t find poetry; it
finds you,” she mused.
“I used to write in times of
great sadness,” Auberle said.

“We’ve done about three proj-

to send each other 10 drawings
and wrote poems to go with the

Auberle said she found the in-
terplay of words and images to be
fruitful, and it took several of the
poems in unexpected directions.
“It’s what strikes a spark in
your mind,” Auberle commented.

Flag to Travel 14,500 During Patriot Tour

BEAVER DAM–The ninth
annual Patriot Tour, a 110-day,
14,500-mile journey during
which motorcycle riders carry
our nation’s flag city-to-city
through all 48 continental states
to raise money for disabled
veterans and their families,
launches May 19. The event
will begin at the 200 block
of Front Street in downtown
Beaver Dam, confirmed Bill
Sherer, founder and executive
director of The Nation of Pa-
triots, who hosts the event. An
opening ceremony begins at
10 a.m. with kickstands up at
11 a.m. for the first leg of the
flag’s journey, southwest 115
miles to Fennimore. Through-
out the 110-day journey more
than 150,000 riders nationwide,
including many from all parts
of Wisconsin, are expected to
participate in the Patriot Tour.
As many as 500 riders are
expected to take part in the
ride to Fennimore, Sherer said.
The route will follow Highway
151 south from Beaver Dam to
County Highway V, bypass-
ing East Bristol, DeForest and
Norway Grove, then turning
onto County Highway P south
bypassing Springfield Corners,
Cross Plains, Pine Bluff and
Klevenville, turning on High-
way 151 west to Highway 18
West bypassing Mount Horeb
and Dodgeville. The tour con-
tinues on Highway 18 west
through Edmund, Cobb and
Montfort reaching Fennimore
at approximately 1:30 p.m. A
flag exchange ceremony begins
at 2 p.m. at the Fennimore Fire
Station followed by music fea-
turing Adam Bartel & Friends
and an EMT brat sale and fire-
man beverage stand, until 6
p.m.
The Tour departs Fennimore
on May 20 at 11 a.m. for its
next stop in Waukon, IA. Rid-
ers are welcome to join the tour
at any point along the way and
ride for as long as they would
like, Sherer said. Though not
required, riders are asked to
donate $5.
“It’s important for people
to understand that every dollar
they contribute to this effort is
put directly into the hands of
disabled vets and their fami-
lies,” Sherer said. “The Nation
of Patriots is an entirely volun-
teer-run organization, so 100
percent of the money raised
benefits those for whom it is
intended.”
In 2017, nearly $250,000 was
raised with funds distributed to
67 families of disabled veterans
across 18 states, he said. This
year’s goal is $300,000 and
contributions of any size are
welcome at nationofpatriots.
org/donate.
“The Patriot Tour is a unified
tribute to each and every one of
our nation’s veterans, military
personnel and their families,”
he said. “We understand their
sacrifices and stand in awe of
the contributions they have
made and do make every day so
that all Americans may enjoy
the many freedoms for which
this great country stands.”
September 8 the flag returns
to Beaver Dam, bookending
the Tour’s journey. A complete
routing schedule for the flag
can be found at www.nationof-
patriots.com/tour.
The idea for Patriot Tour
came to Sherer in 2009 while
riding in the eastern United
States, carrying the American
flag on the back of his motor-
cycle in support of the sacri-
fices that his friends, mostly
veterans of the conflicts in Iraq
and Afghanistan, had made on
America’s behalf. He rode all
33 states east of the Mississippi,
raising money for the families
of disabled veterans. Ending
in Milwaukee, Sherer worked
with the VA Hospital there to
direct the money he had raised,
to military families.
“I realized that my voice was
not strong enough to rally a na-
tion,” he said. “So, I founded
the Nation of Patriots. I wanted
to include as many proud
Americans as possible to stand
with me in a collective salute
of appreciation to the U.S. mil-
itary.”
More than 150,000 riders across
the U.S., many of them veter-
ans, have answered the Nation
of Patriots’ call each spring
since 2010 and volunteered to
take part in some portion of the
annual Patriot Tour.
NEED FOR VETERAN AS-
SISTANCE
• In 2016, approximately 1.3
million veterans suffered from
a veterans are considered at risk
service-related disability; 70
percent or higher (statista.com).
• In 2016, the median income
for male veterans was $40,076
and $34,178 for
female veterans (statista.com).
• A 2017 report by a VA in-
spector general found that 36
percent of needy
veterans had to wait longer
than a month for primary and/
or mental health
care appointments (USA
Today).
• Although flawless counts are
impossible to come by – the
transient
nature of homeless populations
presents a major difficulty – the
U.S.
Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) es-
timates that 39,471
veterans are homeless on any
given night (National Coalition
for Homeless
Veterans).
• Approximately 1.4 million
of homelessness
due to poverty, lack of support
networks and dismal living
conditions in
overcrowded or substandard
housing (National Coalition for
Homeless
Veterans).

Middleton Wheel & Sprocket Holds Grand Opening

Tourists Spent $172
Million in 2017
MIDDLETON– Visitors
spent $172.1 million in Mid-
dleton in 2017, according to fig-
ures released by the Middleton
Tourism Commission in con-
junction with National Travel
& Tourism Week.
Last year, tourists brought
more than $172 million into
the Good Neighbor City, jump-
ing 2.5% from 2016 and up
$23 million over the last three
years. The local and state gov-
ernments benefitted as well,
collecting $34.3 million in tax
revenue from visitor spending.
Philadelphia-based Tourism
Economics, a consulting firm
that specializes in tourism anal-
ysis, compiled the reports for
the city.
“Last year was an outstand-
ing one for tourism in Middle-
ton,” said Julie K. Peterman,
CMP, Middleton’s Director of
Tourism. “We are consistently
growing, and more and more
people are visiting us every
year. We are so grateful to ev-
eryone who paid us a visit in
2017 and helped to support the
families and businesses of our
great city!”
Among the many ways the
Middleton Tourism Commis-
sion worked to attract visitors
in 2017 is through its social
media accounts. At the end of
last year, the Visit Middleton
Facebook page boasted more
than 25,000 fans and across all
their platforms, the Middleton
Tourism Commission created
more than 600 social media
posts. Videos played a big role
in spreading the word about the
Good Neighbor City as well, re-
sulting in nearly 142,000 min-
utes of tourism-related videos
watched on the Visit Middleton
YouTube channel in 2017.
The commission also hosted
four full-scale promotions in
2016, drawing in more than
8,300 entries from around the
country. The giveaways are an
effective way of spreading ex-
citement about the city and four
more promotions are continu-
ing that momentum in 2018.
“Our social media platforms,
in conjunction with the give-
aways, are incredibly valuable
in spreading the word about our
great city,” said Peterman. “Not
only do they energize potential
visitors, they also highlight
the attractions, restaurants and
shopping we have here in Mid-
dleton.”
Middleton’s growth is a con-
tributor to Dane County’s 2017
numbers as well. Last year, vis-
itors brought in $1.25 billion to
Dane County overall, a 2.7%
hike from 2016.

Work along Highway P in Cross Plains will continue this week.
Projects and and anticipated anticipated closures are as follows:
•The water lateral construction will continue as water testing is
passed successfully. During this time, each home will be without water
for several hours to allow for connecting to the new water main. Notice
will be given prior to planned shutdowns. If you are not home during
the daytime hours, please watch your front door for important notifi-
cation information.
• One of the crews will leave the site as pipe work is completed. The
remaining crews will continue to work on Phase 1 storm sewer as the
MG&E gas work completes.
• The temporary lane along Thinnes will be paved, but NOT put into
service until work on Phase 2 requires it.
• Road base course construction will continue northward. Concrete
curb for Phase 1 is anticipated during the week of Memorial Day but
will depend heavily on weather.
•Access/egress for local traffic will be maintained, but the additional
work crews will make daily changes for residents more likely. During
lateral construction, the entire roadway will be blocked with an excava-
tion at that particular home. Please continue to monitor the route maps.

Cardinals surge to Big 8 lead

BY ADAM HATLAN

The story of Middleton’s
baseball team against Janesville
Craig had a familiar plot line in
both games this season: give
senior pitcher Brady Schmitt
the ball.
Watch Schmitt mow down
hitters. Hand the ball off to
a relief pitcher to finish the
game. Win by one run.
Lather, rinse and repeat.

ranked Janesville Craig, 2-1.
The Cardinals survived a tense

a season sweep of the Cougars.
The Cardinals improved to

Six-peat
Boys track and field team wins
sixth straight Big Eight title
BY DENNIS SEMRAU
For the Times-Tribune
Junior Caleb Easton said the
mantra all season long for the
Middleton boys’ track and field
team was “six-peat, six-peat”.
Following a dominating per-
formance at Lussier Stadium on
Monday night, the Cardinals’
championship streak remained
intact.
Middleton’s boys won their
sixth consecutive Big Eight
Conference championship and
third straight under coach Joe
Line. Middleton was first with
150.67 points. Sun Prairie was
second with 111 and Verona
placed third (83.33).
The meet was moved to
Monday after it was post-
poned on May 11 due to rain
and cold weather. But it was
well worth the wait for the
Cardinals, who won six indi-
vidual titles, including three by
senior Aaron Richardson.
Brady Schmitt was the winning pitcher as Middleton’s baseball team edged Janesville Craig in a Big Eight Conference show-
down Monday.
“He turned literally into a
machine tonight,” Line said
of Richardson, who set a per-
sonal-best time in winning the
100-meter dash in 10.88 sec-
onds. He also won the 200
(:22.41) and the long jump
(21-8 ½) crowns.
“I’ve never seen a kid do
so many races. Think about
it. He ran two 100s, two 200s,
three with the four-by-two and
then four jumps for long jump.
He was gassed at the end. But
he showed his hard work and
gaining weight and working
out for this moment. It’s all
him. He’s a heck of an athlete.”
Richardson defended his
title in the long jump and
improved upon his third-place
finish in the 200 of a year ago.
“It wasn’t about PRs
tonight, it was about getting
the win,” said Richardson, who
is planning to compete in track

MHS rolls
by Lancers
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Middleton’s baseball team
entered last week in a tie for
the Big Eight Conference lead.
Madison La Follette was
buried in last place.
So the Cardinals certainly
expected to take care of busi-
ness in their two games against
the Lancers. But Middleton
rolled to a pair of wins so dom-
inant that it might have even
surprised itself.
The Cardinals cruised past
the Lancers, 11-2, last Tuesday.
Middleton followed that with a
26-1 destruction last Thursday.
“We did what we had to
do with the games this week,”
Middleton manager Tom
Schmitt said. “We were able
to get the bats going early and
give all guys at bats in both of
the games as well as some time
off from a very condensed and
intense schedule due to our
spring weather. 
“It was good to see that the
guys that got more opportuni-
ties off the bench were ready
and did well. We played better
baseball all around.” 
In the Cardinals’ 11-2 win
over La Follette, Alan Roden
led the offense going 2-for-3
with three RBI and two runs
scored. Nolan Kelliher went

Boys golfers win Big Eight title
Middleton shoots
296, edges Verona
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
It’s a tradition that stems
back decades.
Any time Middleton’s
boys golf team wins a major
invitational, the Big Eight
Conference, or a postsea-
son event, the Cardinals
stop at a certain gas station.
Middleton’s boys are then
treated to Slushie’s for their
accomplishments.
Last Wednesday, the
Cardinals once again ended up
with Slushie’s in their hands.
And this one was extremely
sweet.
Middleton shot a sea-
son-low 296 and edged Verona
(302) to win the Madison East
Triangular held at Yahara
Hills. Both the Cardinals and
Wildcats entered the meet
unbeaten in the Big Eight dual
meet season, and the win gave
Middleton the regular season
title.
“The kids have always
had the same goals and No.
1 is to always win confer-
ence,” Middleton coach Tom
Cabalka said. “After that, we
focus on making it to state.
“But this group is gaining
more confidence and believes
anything is within reach. They
just need to keep working
hard and practicing with a
purpose.”
The star of the show for
Middleton was sophomore
Kip Sullivan, who carded a
2-under-par, 70. Sullivan hit
13 greens in regulation, need-
ed just 30 putts, made six
birdies, four bogeys and eight
pars.
“Coming in, you don’t
expect anyone to shoot a 70,”
Cabalka said. “When you
have one of those, it drops
your whole team score down,
which is pretty great.”
Sullivan had plenty of help.
Sophomore Connor Frisch
made 14 pars and two bird-
ies on his way to an even-
par, 72. Senior Andy Zucker
and freshman Jacob Beckman
both carded 77s.
Middleton needed to
go low, too, to defeat the
Wildcats.
The triangular was delayed
for about 45 minutes with the

At the time, Verona held an
eight-stroke lead.
From there on out, though,
the Cardinals shined and
eventually pulled away from
the Wildcats.
“I don’t know if that delay
helped us or not,” Cabalka
said. “But we played some
really good golf after that.”
Middleton also played
well at its own triangular last
Tuesday. The Cardinals shot Times-Tribune

Cabalka said. “But we’ve had
kids improve by five or six
strokes from last year and you
can’t anticipate that. I don’t
think anybody anticipated
this.”
Middleton now heads to the
Big Eight Conference tourna-
ment Thursday at Evansville
Country Club, and Cabalka
expects there to be quite a
battle.
While the Cardinals are the
favorites, Verona went 8-1
in the Big Eight dual meet
season and Janesville Parker

have to be at their best again
to prevail.

Tennis Cardinals set for
conference tournament
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Middleton’s boys’ tennis
team had a solid regular sea-
son, finishing in second place
in the Big Eight Conference
dual meet season.
Now, the Cardinals are hop-
ing for bigger and better in the
postseason.
Middleton heads to the
Big Eight Conference meet
Wednesday and Thursday
at Nielsen Tennis Stadium.
Wednesday’s action starts
at 9:30 a.m. and Thursday’s
begins at 2 p.m. — and the
Cardinals are hoping a champi-
onship is in their future.
“It is always a goal for us to
win conference as a team and
I feel like we have a shot this
year,” Middleton coach Kalla
Schaefer said. “My goal is for
each individual player to enjoy
the experience and play up to
their potential. It will be a very
tight tournament, so it may
come down to the last couple of
matches and who is able to per-
form best in those moments.”
The regular season race was
certainly tight.
Verona went 9-0 in con-
ference dual meets, while
Middleton and Madison West
were both 7-2. Sun Prairie and
Madison Memorial each went
6-3.
“All five of these teams are
going to be in the hunt for the
conference championship, but
Verona will come in as the
favorite due to their undefeated

said. “We have a strong confer-
ence and that provides a great
opportunity for players to push
themselves and demonstrate
what they are capable of.”
Middleton finished the reg-
ular season in style last week,
notching three impressive wins.
The Cardinals defeated
Madison East, 7-0, on May
9. Middleton also cruised past
Beloit Memorial, 7-0, on May
8 and toppled Madison La

Softball Cards hope to surprise
Middleton
aiming for
postseason
success
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Middleton softball coach
Perry Hibner and assistant
Amy Siedschlag were sched-
uled to attend the WIAA
Division 1 seeding meeting
in Baraboo Wednesday night.
And Hibner expected his team
to be seeded anywhere from
No. 7-12.
“I think we’re a pretty dan-
gerous seed no matter where
we get placed,” Hibner said.
“We’re healthy and playing
better. I can’t wait for the
postseason.”
Yes, Hibner is full of opti-
mism.
But if the Cardinals’ post-
season is going to last very
long, they’ll have to play
much better than they have
during the regular season.
Middleton dropped two of
three games last week and fell
to 6-11 overall and 6-8 in the
Big Eight Conference.
Verona swept the Cardinals
by scores of 7-3 and 6-0 last
Tuesday. Middleton then
bounced back and toppled
Janesville Parker, 9-0, last
Thursday.
“We played better against
Verona, but Meghan Anderson
pitcher really well,” Hibner
said of the Wildcats’ standout.
“And to see us come out and
play so well against Parker
after two tough losses was
nice. We hope this gives us
some momentum.”
Anderson, who has missed
a good chunk of the season
with an injury, pitched both
games for Verona and allowed
only eight hits while striking
out a combined 12 batters.
Hibner said that Anderson
consistently threw in the upper
50s and even hit 62 on the
radar gun.
“When she is on, she is
really tough to hit,” Hibner
said of Anderson. “She and
Maddie Gardner (of Sun
Prairie) are at a different level
than everyone else.”
The Wildcats took a 1-0
lead in the first game on Alia
Yasek’s sacrifice fly off fresh-
man Ellie Buza. The score
remained that way until the
fourth when Verona took
advantage of two walks, two
singles and an error by short-
stop Olivia Hebert to score
four runs.
“We were pretty clean, but
that one extra out we gave
Verona there really hurt us,”
Hibner said. “Like any really
good team, they made us pay.”
Middleton got within 5-3
in the fifth as Rachael Roberts
walked with one out and
advanced to second on a single
by Brianna Buss to left. Junior
Sam Williams followed with
her second home run of the
season, a shot to center field.
“The wind was blow-
ing in, but there wasn’t any
doubt about the ball Sam hit,”
Hibner said.  RESPONSE - TAX DEDUCTION
Verona put the game away
with a run in the fifth on Molly
McChesney’s RBI single and
another run in the seventh on
Savanna Rainey’s home run
to right center to make it 7-3.
Buza allowed eight hits
and five walks, but only
two unearned runs for the
Cardinals. It was the first time
she has pitched more than two
innings in a game due to a
back strain since April 12.
“She was a little rusty, but
that was to be expected with
as little as she has pitched
the past month,” Hibner said.
“Verona has a potent lineup
and she certainly gave us a
chance. I’m very proud of her
and know she will continue to
get better.”
Game 2 looked a lot like
the first game. The Cardinals
were only able to muster four
hits against Anderson, while
Yasek and Rainey combined
for six hits and four RBIs for
Verona.
Four times Middleton went
down in order. The Cardinals’
best scoring opportuni-
ty was in the second inning
as Ashley Bindl and Hebert
singled around a pop out by
Sam Williams, but Hannah
Edington grounded into a dou-
ble play to end the threat.
Two nights later, Middleton
had arguably its most impres-
sive win of the year against a
Parker team that entered 10-7
overall and 9-3 in the Big
Eight.
The Cardinals banged out
10 hits, including a two-run,
pinch-hit home run by sopho-
more Katelyn Graf, and didn’t
commit an error or issue a

walk in a win over the visiting
Vikings.
“It was our most complete
game of the season,” Hibner
said. “The girls looked like
they were having fun and
playing relaxed and it showed.
It helped that we got off to a
quick start and kept the pres-
sure on them.”
Middleton’s Jessica Parente
and Ashley Bindl had con-
secutive singles off Parker’s
Chelsy Naber with two outs
in the first inning. Senior
Sophie Schafer hit a double
to left center to make it 2-0
and freshman Olivia Hebert
followed with a double to the
wall in center to score Schafer
for a 3-0 lead.
“It was great to see us
hit the ball so well against
Naber because she did a great
job against us the last time,”
Hibner said, recalling 5-4 loss
last month. “The key might
have been Bindl scoring from
first on Sophie’s hit. Most
players don’t have the speed
to do that, but Ashley can
really fly.”
The Cardinals kept the pres-
sure on in the second, scoring
two runs on just one hit.
Brianna Buss led off with
a grounder that shortstop
Mirnaly Veguilla threw away
allowing her to advance to
second. Erin Fischer’s sacri-
fice bunt was thrown away
by catcher Brianna Garvey,
allowing Buss to score and
Fischer to get on base. Rachael
Roberts singled one out later
and Fischer eventually scored
on Parente’s fielder’s choice
to shortstop.
“Sometimes you have to
make something out of noth-
ing or very little and we did
that in the second inning,”
Hibner said. “The girls ran
the bases aggressively, which
is something we have been
stressing all season long. It
was nice to see it happen.”
The Cardinals put the game
away in the fifth with four
runs.
Schafer singled down the
line in left to lead off the
inning and Hebert followed
with a double to left. Schafer
was thrown out at the plate on
Edington’s grounder to third.
Edington stole second
and Hebert scored on the
play when Parker threw the
ball away. Edington scored
moments later on a wild pitch.
Buss then walked and Graf
homered to center field on a
2-2 count to make it 9-0.
“Great job by Katelyn of
not trying to pull a middle-out
pitch,” Hibner said. “Like a
lot of our girls, she has great
power and can hit the ball out
of the park going the other
way if she isn’t out in front of
the plate when she is making
contact. She was so excited I
think she hopped around the
bases.”
Meanwhile, Buza and
Edington were in control
throughout on the mound.
Buza pitched five innings,
while Edington took care
of the final six outs. They
allowed just four hits and
struck out three.
“We’ve been reminding all
of our pitchers that when they
throw a first pitch strike they
get the batter out 70-80 per-
cent of the time,” Hibner said.
“Ellie and Hannah threw a lot
of first pitch strikes against
Parker.”
• On deck: Middleton
was scheduled to host a dou-
bleheader with Madison La
Follette on Tuesday, trav-
el to Beloit Memorial on
Thursday and host Janesville
Craig on Friday.
“I suppose we should feel
good because I’m not sure
how many teams in the state
have played as many games
as we have,” Hibner said.
“However, it’s been a frus-
trating year because of the
weather.
“We’ve had more indoor
than outdoor practices and
played nearly as many games
at our old varsity field (Orchid
Heights) as our regular one
(Firefighters Memorial Park).
I feel like I’ve spent more time
watching the weather forecast
than coaching.’’

Matt Ballweg picked up the save in Middleton’s huge win over Janesville Craig Monday.
Craig
“We were in a three team
race (coming in to the game),”
Schmitt said. “(Craig) was up
there with us. This was a big
win.”
Middleton manager Tom
Schmitt agreed and referenced
the early season game at Craig.
In that contest, Brady Schmitt
went five innings, Derek
Reisdorf pitched the final two,
and Middleton left town with
a 4-3 win.
“We come into this game
and we’ve beat (Craig) once,
they’re a quality team playing
quality ball right now,” Tom
Schmitt said. “We went with
Brady again tonight and he
threw a good game for us.
“I’m really excited for the
kids. They’ve worked hard and
put themselves in the driver’s
seat to stay at the top of the
conference with Craig and Sun
Prairie.”
Brady Schmitt was poised
and in control for most of the
night in the playoff-like atmo-
sphere, seemingly unfazed
even when faced with trouble.
Schmitt picked up the win after
tossing six innings, scattering
three hits, striking out three,
and allowing one unearned run.
“Brady had good tempo and
rhythm today. He was comfort-
able in this pressure game,”
Tom Schmitt said. “Brady
wants the ball in big games.”
Matt Ballweg picked up the
save for Middleton, pitching
the final inning and shutting
the door on Craig, inducing a
game-ending double play with
MLB prospect Jacob Campbell
looming in the on-deck circle
for Craig.
“I just have to execute my
pitches. I have to throw strikes
in that situation,” Ballweg said.
“That (double play) was one
of the coolest moments of my
baseball career.”
Ballweg, traditionally a
starter, was called upon by his
coach to come into an unfamil-
iar high-pressure situation.
“The old ‘twin killing’ is
a pitcher’s best friend,” Tom
Schmitt joked of the game-end-
ing double play. “We asked
(Matt) to get us three outs at the
tail end of a game. It was good
to see him come in and throw
strikes.”
Middleton was able to over-
come four errors defensively in
the game, including two in the
sixth inning. The errors were
the one dark spot in an oth-
erwise sparkling performance,
including a Cardinal offense
that recorded a hit in every
inning except one.
Senior shortstop Alan
Roden led Middleton with two
hits.
Craig starter Micah Overly
took the loss, pitching six
strong innings while allowing
two runs (one earned) on seven
hits.
Middleton loaded the bases
in the first inning, but came
away empty-handed after
Overly jammed Zach Shipley
and induced an inning-ending
double play.
The Cardinals got on the
board in the second, as Noah
Casali doubled and later scored
when Adam Casali reached on
a fielding error by the Craig
shortstop, giving Middleton a
1-0 lead.
Craig threatened in the top
of the third, putting runners
on the corners with two outs.
Schmitt remained unfazed
on the mound, though, and
escaped the jam.
In the third, Middleton’s
Carsen Schulz reached on a
fielder’s choice and scored
from first when Shipley ripped
a double into the left field gap,
giving the Cardinals a 2-0 lead
after three innings.
In the sixth, Craig’s
TIMES-TRIBUNE
Times-Tribune photo by Mary Langenfeld
Luke Malmanger and Noah
Berghammer reached on con-
secutive errors by Middleton’s
infield, putting runners on sec-
ond and third with nobody out.
JJ Brennan hit a deep sacrifice
fly to score Malmanger, with
Berghammer advancing and
representing the tying run at
third.
But just as he had done
all night, Schmitt stayed in
control, retiring the next two
batters to end the threat and
helping the Cardinals preserve
their 2-1 lead.
“Just get outs,” Schmitt
said of the sixth-inning jam.
“I know I have a good defense
behind me. They made a cou-
ple errors, but I just had to
throw strikes and get outs.”
Ballweg then came in
and sealed it for Middleton.
Ballweg allowed a one-out sin-
gle to Dan Blomgren before
inducing a game-ending double
play with Campbell lurking in
the on-deck circle.
Campbell, projected to be
drafted in the first 10 rounds
of the MLB draft in June, led
Craig with two hits.
Tom Schmitt said the win
is huge for Middleton’s con-
fidence, but knows it must
remain focused and not look
ahead.

anybody can beat anybody in
high school baseball. Records
go out the window. We just

Ballweg said the Cardinals
can compete with anybody,
but echoed his coach’s words
about staying focused.
“We know we have to exe-

the top teams,” said Ballweg.
“We have to focus on what

Josh Stumpf finished up,

“Sometimes you can come
into a game or series thinking
that it will be easy and over-
look the chance to get better,”
Schmitt said. “Our guys came
in focused and played consis-
tent baseball for the week. 
“We had good at bats, by
staying disciplined at the plate
and not chasing pitches out of
the zone just to try and get hits.
That is how you get yourself
out. Our guys did not do that.
They waited to see their pitch
and squared it up.”

PAGE 18 TIMES-TRIBUNE THURSDAY, MAY 17, 2018
Track
and field at UW-Oshkosh next
year.
The Cardinals scored points
in 15 of the 18 events with
junior Eagan Peters-Michaud
also winning the 400 (:51.59),
Easton taking the 1,600
(4:22.47) and senior Jack Rader
winning the 3,200 (9:35.05).
“It took all parts to get it
done,” Line said. “When we
faulted on something, someone
else picked it up. It was a good
team effort.”
Easton, who said it had been
a rocky season so far dealing
with an off-season knee inju-
ry, led a 1-2-5 finish in the
1,600, which accounted for 22
points. Sam Jaeger was second
(4:23.21) and sophomore Zach
Leffel placed fifth (4:25.51).
“It was my first confer-
ence track title so I was real-
ly pumped,” said Easton, who
won the conference cross coun-
try title last fall. “We went out
a little slower than we would
have liked, but it’s racing so
you have to be prepared for
anything. I was lucky to have it
at the end and close well.”
Easton flashed an ‘M’ sign
as he crossed the finish line,
much to the chagrin of distance
coach Brian Finnell.
“Sometimes I do get a
little excited when I see my
teammates doing so well and
all of them right there,” said
Easton, who later repeated his
runner-up finish in the 800
of a year ago. “It’s emotion-
al because we work so hard
together. I did a little ‘M’ but
I won’t do that again. Coach
said that was more of a cross
country thing so I’ll save that
for the course.”
Easton (1:58.55) trailed only
Madison West senior Daniel
Jacobs (1:57.53) in the 800 to
lead a 2-4-5 finish ahead of
teammates sophomore Braedon
Gilles (1:58.87) and Leffel
(2:01.51), who helped account
for 17 points for Middleton.
Rader (9:35.05), Jaeger
(9:43.10) and junior Michael
Madoch (9:53.44) wrapped up
a stellar day for the Cardinals’
distance crew with a 1-2-5 fin-
ish in the 3,200, which was
good for 22 points.
The Cardinals placed in four
of the six field events with
senior Daniel MacLean clear-
ing a personal-best 13 feet to
finish third in the pole vault
after entering the meet seeded
ninth at 12-0.
Line said the surprise of
the day, though, was Peters-
Michaud’s winning the 400 in
a personal-best effort despite
starting out in lane nine.
“I had the 200 before it
and false-started so that made
me mad at myself,” Peters-
Michaud said of the disqualifi-
cation. “I really took it out on
the 400 and put it all out there
and came out with the win. I
was really proud of myself.”
Peters-Michaud then
anchored the Cardinals’ run-
ner-up finish in the 1,600 relay
(3:29.46) that included Stuart
Wodzro, Braedon Gilles and
Ian Casper to close out the title
and lead to chants of “six-peat,
six-peat” during the Cardinals’
victory lap around the track
with the trophy.
“We set a really big PR
which was big,” Peters-
Michaud said of the 1,600 relay.
“It was kind of nerve-wracking
with my DQ and a dropped
baton in the 4-by-200 relay.
But we got it done.”
In the girls’ competition,
Sun Prairie’s deep squad
repeated as champion and won
for the eighth time in the past
10 seasons. Sun Prairie fin-
ished first with 173.5 points,
Madison Memorial was second
(142.50) and Middleton took
third (100).
Middleton girls’ coach Cory
Christnovich was pleased with
the team’s performance, which
was led by runner-up finishes
by seniors Marie Mayers in
the 300 low hurdles (:48.98)
and Jennifer McGinnis in 200
(:26.32), the 1,600 and 3,200
relays.
“We ran really well,”
Christnovich said. “It’s that
our best today was only good
enough for third. There’s noth-
ing wrong with that. We had
14 or 15 (personal bests) and
you could tell they were giv-
ing their max effort. If you’re
trying your best, what more
can you really ask for out of
the kids.”
Mayers, who fell in the 300
hurdles race at the Arrowhead
Myrhum Invitational on May
5, turned in a stunning perfor-
mance.
“Marie had a really, really
tough fall at the Myrhum in
the 300 hurdles on the sixth
hurdle so just to come back and
be mentally tough enough to
really run hard and be aggres-
sive at the hurdles was impres-
sive,” Christnovich said. “The
last three hurdles in the 300
hurdles race are really, really
hard. Your legs are Jell-O and
you’ve still got to carry a lot of
speed through them. She did a
great job and ran a phenomenal
time. That was a great race for
her.”
After competing in the
hurdles all four years in high
school, Mayers said she didn’t
want to let one fall put a damp-
er on her career.
“I took a digger on the sixth
hurdle and didn’t get to fin-
ish my race” she said of the
Myrhum meet. “I face-planted
and had to get a concussion
check so that was a little rough.
“But it was my last confer-
ence meet and I just went out
with the attitude that I was
going to run my race, do my
best and hope for the best and
I went out with confidence and
it showed in my race. I was
happy with that.”
McGinnis and sophomore
Satori Tanin had busy nights,
each placing in four events.
In addition to the 200 and
800 relay, McGinnis was third
in the triple jump (35-11 ½)
and ran on the 400 relay that
placed fifth.
“Overall, I’m happy with
the way I finished,” McGinnis
said. “Both of my relays ran
faster than their seed times so
that was exciting.”
Tanin was third in the 100
high hurdles (:16.07), fourth in
the high jump (4-10), and sixth
in the 300 low hurdles (:50.06)
and the triple jump (34-7 ½).
“It was great night for the
team,” she said. “We had a lot
of PRs. We wanted to place
higher, but third was good for
us.”
The Cardinals scored
points in 16 of the18 events,
which drew a smile from
Christnovich.
“You could tell they gave
continued from page 11
it their all,” Christnovich said.
“They gave it their all in their
events and are tired girls head-
ing back to the bus.”
