PLATTEVILLE - The Monroe-New Glarus girls swim team swam to a fifth-place finish at the 31st Hillmen Invitational Saturday.
Baraboo racked up 518 points to win the nine-team Hillmen Invite over Sauk Prairie (458). River Valley took third and Wausau West took fourth (272.5), which was 1.5 points ahead of the Cheesemakers.
"This was not one of their best meets, but it never is because they are working so hard at practice to be ready for conference and sectionals so they are always tired at this point in the season," Monroe-New Glarus coach Linda Moser said.
