Big win for Milton

Milton won its big dual meet with Madison Edgewood this past Tuesday 91-79 in a matchup between two undefeated squads in the always competitive Badger South Conference. Edgewood had won the season-opening Badger South relays meet, but Milton was able to turn the tables with a solid showing from its strong freshmen class and a remarkable showing by senior Jennah Haney.

Remarkable, because in a meet where every first-place finish was critical, Haney pulled off one of the most difficult doubles in the sport -- winning the 100 fly and then coming right back in the next event and winning the 100 free. After a brief rest, Haney then came back to anchor Milton's winning 200 free relay that out-touched Edgewood by a mere four-hundreths of a second.

The Milton squad also got a solid double-win from sophomore Stacey Kincade in the 200 IM (2:18.60) and 500 free (5:22.29). Edgewood's depth kept the meet close, but in the end, Milton's ability to pull out lots of wins -- 9 of the 11 races contested -- and Haney's remarkable double gave the hosts the win.
