MONROE - Two sets of sisters are driven by sibling rivalries that have put the Monroe-New Glarus girls swim program on the map. The pair of sisters from New Glarus - senior Maddie Hammer and freshman Mekenzie Hammer, and junior Nina Schiro and freshman Francesca Schiro ­- have made a splash with the co-op, which is in its fourth year. "Now that we both swim in high school it's pretty competitive," Nina said.
