PLATTEVILLE - The Monroe-New Glarus girls swim team captured fifth place at the Platteville Invitational Saturday.
The Cheesemakers scored 262 points. Baraboo claimed the championship of the eight-team meet, rolling up 558 points, which was well ahead of runner-up Sauk Prairie (366).
Monroe-New Glarus junior Maddie Hammer won the 100-yard freestyle in a personal-record time of 56.45 seconds and took second in the 200 freestyle with a PR of 2:04.98. Sophomore Nina Schiro won the 100 backstroke with a PR of 1:02.85 and took second in the 500 freestyle with a PR of 5:47.85.
Monroe senior Skylar Lassen placed third in the 100 backstroke (1:06.09). Hammer, Schiro, Lassen and sophomore Cammi Ganshert took third in the 400 freestyle relay (4:00.61).
The Cheesemakers set six PR times in the meet.
"It's not as many as we had a goal set for, but at this point in the season they are physically and mentally tired," Monroe-New Glarus coach Linda Moser said. "With conference Friday at Fort Atkinson we will be focusing this week on maintaining a positive, competitive attitude in the water as well as training hard and improving our nutrition for what will be the toughest two weeks of the season."
Monroe sophomore Anna Latimer set a PR in the 100 backstroke (1:29.12), and senior Kylie Houston swam to a PR in the 200 freestyle (2:46.43).
Monroe-New Glarus will compete at the Badger South Conference meet starting at 5 p.m. Friday at Fort Atkinson.
"I'm excited to see what the girls will do at conference," Moser said.
