On the second team all East Division was Matthew (9th overall) and Andrew (10th overall). Great to see 4 SM golfers earn all conference honors! Congratulations Rockets and Coach Jeff Kubel!

TEAM OF THE WEEK: South Milwaukee. The Rockets didn’t play second fiddle this time. After a second-place finish at the Woodland Conference indoor last month, South Milwaukee won the conference relays with 108 points. The team got a state-best performance from senior Micaela Creighton in the long jump (18-6). It also won the long jump, triple jump and 400 relays with the 400 relay of sophomore Chenoa Stuhr and seniors Amber Roepke, Micaela Creighton and Alyx Birmingham winning in 51.21, which ranked 13th on the state honor roll Monday. The Rockets also got a big day from its young distance crew, which took third in the 3,200, 6,400 and distance medley despite having no upperclassmen on the teams (Bristine Fowler, Capri Fowler, Rebecca Heller, Sam Meszaros, and Karina Popek)
