FORT ATKINSON — The Monroe Cheesemakers were winners in a Badger Conference Double Dual swim meet over Portage 123-42 and Fort Atkinson 131-35 on Tuesday, Sept. 23.

The Cheese Knights demonstrated strong depth throughout the meet. Ten athletes achieved season-best times. Leading the way, Piper Faber and Lexie Elgin each posted three season-best swims. The breaststroke group of Bella Miranda, Hadleigh Shunk, and Amelia Geib achieved first, second, and third place in the event. 

Monroe-New Glarus coach Rachel Root was impressed with her team’s stamina is a meet that took just over an hour.

“The meet’s fast pace tested the girls’ endurance and perseverance, but they rose to the challenge, racing with grit and energy from start to finish,” said Root.
