"She (Lassen) was really focused tonight," Monroe-New Glarus coach Linda Moser said. "She was much more confident in what she needed to do and how to do it. Her work ethic in the pool is very strong. I know she has her eyes on some state times. It's something we have talked about since the beginning of the season."
Lassen teamed with junior Maddie Hammer, junior Grace Keith and sophomore Nina Schiro to win the 200 medley relay in a of 2:13.74.
Milton defeated Monroe-New Glarus in the dual meet 108.5-61.5.
"The girls swam with a lot more confidence than they did against Edgewood last week," Moser said. "They showed they have the confidence to race with the strongest competitors. We have three really tough meets with McFarland coming up next week."
Keith swam to a second-place finish in the 100 butterfly with a personal record of 1:16.97.
Schiro also swam two PRs in the meet. She finished second in the 400 freestyle in 5:04.55 and third in the 200 individual medley in 2:44.04.
