Two Teens Arrested in Alledged
Sexual Assault of 14-year-old Girl
By Kevin Murphy
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON–A former
Middleton High School (MHS)
senior is released on bond this
week after being charged with
sexual assault of 14-year-old girl
in the Town of Middleton.
Mohammad K. Aldachach,
18, was charged Monday in
Dane County Court with second-
degree sexual assault of child on
Nov. 21.
A 16-year-old student at MHS
was also allegedly involved, and
charged as a juvenile in the inci-
dent.
The criminal complaint al-
leged:
The assault occurred at the
home of a 16-year-old MHS stu-
dent in the 700 block of Schiller
Ct.
The victim told authorities
that she had been sexually as-
saulted twice by Aldachach and
three times by the 16-old-year
acquaintance. The assaults began
sometime after 9:30 p.m. on Nov.
21 and continued until 3 a.m. on
Thanksgiving Day.
The boy and Aldachach had
been smoking marijuana through
a vaporizer device and gave it to
her to use as well.
She said she became very high
after smoking from the vape pen
and the first boy, and then Al-
dachach, both had sex with her

equal opportunity to pursue
their dreams.
“The place kids grow up is

The 16-year-old alleged assail-

6:30 a.m. on Thanksgiving. She
did not tell her mother until Nov.
23 that she had gone to the home
of the 16-year-old boy where Al-

A medical examination was
performed and tearing and
scratching injuries to the girl’s in-

Sperm also was recovered during
the exam.
A Dane County Sheriff’s
detective interviewed a friend

Fuszard said he is basing
his campaign platform on two
pillars. First the notion of ser-
vice and second the notion of
safety.
“Too many people in my
community don’t know who
their council member is, or
how they can serve them,” he
said. Fuszard added that his
neighbors were frustrated after
trying to communicate with
the current alder, Howard Teal,
who has served the district for
nearly 20 years.
He said that when Teal

where they watched a movie and
smoked the vape pen.
The girl who arranged the eve-
ning was picked up by her father
at about 11:30 p.m.
The girl showed the detec-
tive a Nov. 23 Snapchat message
from Aldachach in which he said
he and the boy had sex with the
girl victim.
In other messages, Aldachach
admitted to feeling awful for
what he did and regretting it.
In a Nov. 26 interview, the
victim repeated the Thanksgiving
eve account her friend had told
authorities. She added she didn’t
want to see her parents after get-
ting high on the vape pen, which
she inhaled from about six times.
After the victim’s friend went
upstairs with Aldachach, the
16-year-old boy took off the vic-
tim’s pants and his and had sex
with her.
“I was so out of it, so tired, I
didn’t know what to do,” the girl
stated.
The victim said she put her
pants back on, then the boy’s
mother came downstairs and
said the other girl’s dad was in
the driveway to take her home.
The boy had sex again with
the victim.

of service the city council
should be doing proactively,”
he added.
In regard to safety, Fuszard
said he became increasingly
concerned about safety after
his neighborhood, Hidden
Oaks, had a string of thefts.
“My garage was broken into
and some of my neighbors
had their homes broken into.
“It was a very violating ex-
perience. If citizens don’t feel
safe, nothing else matters in
my mind,” Fuszard stated.
In addition, he said he has
concerns about the speed limit
change near his home. He
said that many people speed
through and he would like to
see a more gradual slowing
leading up to the lower speed
limit.

Newspaper Continues Pursuit of
Records from Town of Middleton
By Kevin Murphy
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON–Efforts to
learn more about the resigna-
tions of former Town Adminis-
trator David Shaw and Deputy
Treasurer Patti Keichinger will
continue after the ex-employ-
ees’ separation agreements
were detailed in last week’s
paper.
Shaw and Keichinger each
were employed by the town of
Middleton for at least 10 years
but voluntarily resigned in late
October. In exchange for their
resignations they received sev-
erance pay and an opportunity
to remain on the town’s em-
ployee group health insurance
plan, according to the agree-
ments.
In announcing the resigna-
tions, Town Chair Cynthia
Richson declined to discuss
them and limited her remarks
to “we don’t comment on per-
sonnel matters.”
The Times Tribune filed
Open Records requests to ob-
tain Shaw’s and Keichinger’s

agreements.

In a written response, Interim
Town Administrator Robin
Meier stated the town does not
have an employee who can ac-
cess the town’s email server
directly and instead can only
provide any requested mes-
sages through its IT provider.
The town’s IT provider in-
formed Meier that searching for
emails related to resignations
and similar terms would take
an estimated two hours at $185
per hour. The amount would
have to be recouped from the
newspaper in order to conserve
town resources, Meier wrote.
If any such message is lo-
cated, it could be subject to
redacting any information not
subject to disclosure and the
subject of the information may
have to be informed prior to its
pending release.
In order to conserve the
newspaper’s resources, a re-
porter volunteered Monday to
search email messages on town
computers at town hall in order
to determine if any accessible
through that process exist.
Any emails matching the
search terms in the subject line
of the email message would be
subject to screening by the town
before it would be released to

On Tuesday, Richson said
she didn’t know about Meier’s
letter about accessing emails
and said any emails about ter-
mination, discipline or resigna-
tion on the town’s email system
should be searchable without
assistance from the town’s IT
provider.
“But don’t expect to find
much,” she said. “We prop-
erly notice meetings and have
discussions in either closed or
open sessions…We don’t do
business that way (by email),”
she said.
The Times Tribune also re-
quested the names and back-
ground information about the
candidates the town board in-
terviewed for the town admin-
istrator position.
Meier has said she is not in-
terested in continuing in that
role after the board hires a new

MIDDLETON–Town of
Middleton residents approved a
$3.068 million tax levy Monday
that will increase the town’s share
of their property taxes about 1.88

assessed at $500,000.
Last year, the town’s taxes on
an average residence assessed
at $500,000 was approximately
$1,390. A 1.88 percent increase
would bump the total by $26.13

Geiger’s Second Book Released Dec. 1
MT. HOREB–Author, humorist and newspaper editor Matt Gei-
ger believes Jorge Luis Borges when he says the thing philosophers
really seek, more than truth, more even than knowledge, is the op-
portunity to be amazed. With this as his starting point in his new
collection of stories and essays, “Astonishing Tales!*,” Geiger sets
out in search of comic profundity and awe.
Geiger turns what poet Kimberly Blaeser called his “philosopher’s
vision” to his own Neanderthal DNA, parenting, competitive axe
throwing, death, the holidays, dandelions, doppelgangers and
much, much more.
With a nod to the limits of human knowledge and understanding,
particularly his own, he blends whimsy and gravitas while unveil-
ing beauty, joy, and happiness in a seemingly broken world. From

District Sets Out on Search for New Superintendent
By Cameron Bren
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON–The Middle-
ton-Cross Plains Area School
District Board of Education
began the process of finding
a new superintendent for the
2019-20 school year after su-
perintendent George Mavrou-
lis announced he would retire
at the end of June. The board
made arrangements to inter-
view two recruiting firms that
would assist in the hiring pro-
cess at its Nov. 19 meeting.
Assistant Superintendent
Sheri Cyra said the district
sent out requests for proposals
(RFP) for recruiting firms and
received six responses. Cyra
along with other administrative
staff narrowed the selection
down to two firms after review-
ing the proposals.
Cyra recommended the
board interview both firms
early December to get the hir-
ing process moving to have a
new superintendent named by
March.
Cyra invited board members
to participate in interviewing
the firms. Board member Todd
Smith asked how involved the
board should be in the process.
Mavroulis said board members
should be asking questions and
deliberating.
“You should be actively in-
volved, because this is your
firm that you are hiring, and
you technically hire one em-
ployee in the district and that’s
the superintendent,” Mavroulis
said.
Board president Bob Green
said he agreed with Mavroulis.
“The hiring of the superin-
tendent is the most important
thing we do as a board,” Green
said. “I think it is certainly im-
portant that the board be ac-
tively involved every step of
the way.”
Green acknowledged that
more involvement from more
people could stretch out the
timeline.
“Obviously it gets difficult
when we all have different
LOCAL
ideas of what we are looking
for, but if the process takes a
little bit longer then the process
takes a little bit longer,” Green
said.
Smith pointed out that both
firms being recommended were
out of state companies. He
asked if pursuing a local option
would have an advantage.
Cyra say there was only one
firm from Wisconsin that re-
sponded to the RFP. She added
that while the companies may
not be headquartered in Wis-
consin, they have regional of-
fices and local consultants.
Smith said he expects the
district will get a lot of appli-
cants for the position, so the de-
cision of which firm the district
chooses should reflect that.
“I think it is less likely we
are going need to hire the firm
that can dig up candidates for
us, maybe the best consider-
ation is the one that can help
us sort through the pluses and
minuses of each,” Smith said.
Four board members said
they could participate in the
interviews, which were subse-
quently scheduled for Dec. 4.
Smith asked if the board mem-
bers who weren’t available
have any priorities. Kurt Kar-
busicky and Paul Kinne, Kelly
Kalschheur and Sean Hyland
indicated they wouldn’t be
available, but all said they
agreed with Smith’s notion for
choosing a firm.
Smith said he imagines the
district being highly desirable
for anyone interested in being
superintendent.
“What superintendent would
not want to move to a district
that passed that referendum by
70% and has the support of the
public like that,” Smith said
referring to the one of the larg-
est referendums passed in the
state’s history in November.
Karbusicky wittingly re-
sponded saying they may be in-
timidated looking at the shoes
they will have to fill.
“That’s right,” Smith said.
“Maybe we will get no appli-
cants.”
Green jokingly asked Mav-
roulis, “Are you sure you won’t
reconsider?”
“You all have got a lot of
work ahead of you, you better
sit up in your chairs and listen
up,” Mavroulis responded.
Mavroulis served as assis-
tant superintendent for edu-
cational services for 13 years
before taking role as deputy
superintendent in 2015. Previ-
ous to that was principal at Elm
Lawn Elementary for 10 years.
He worked as an elementary
and middle school teacher in
Waukesha and McFarland for
eight years before joining the
District in 1992.
Mavroulis was instrumental
in preparing the referendum,
which he says will be his main
focus with his remaining time.
“I am beyond thrilled that
the referendum has passed and
that our students and staff will
get the facilities and learning
spaces they deserve,’’ Mavrou-
lis said. “We are so fortunate to
live in such a supportive, caring
community.”
Mavroulis said he was happy
to be able to participate in the
hiring process for the new su-
perintendent.  
“I am grateful for the oppor-
tunity to follow-through on my
plan to retire at the end of the
school year after 35 years in
public education,” Mavroulis
said. 
He will retire after three
years in the position. He was
appointed by the board from
assistant superintendent after
the former superintendent Don
Johnson retired.
“While George has been su-
perintendent for the past two
and a half years, he has been
leading the district in one way
or another since 1992,’’ Green
said. “George’s understanding
of the district is only surpassed
by the trust he has created with
our employees and the school
board.”

Options for capital costs
include using funds from TIF
district #3 which was used ac-
quire the land. Attoun said she
and city administrator Mike
Davis are meeting with Madi-
son Community Foundation to
discuss establishing a success-
ful fundraising campaign.
Attoun said the plaza team is
also working with the designer
purchasing the land in partner-
ship with the school district for
a new school facility, however
the district opted to pursue ex-
panding on-site or on land it
already owned.
City officials continued con-
sideration of purchasing the
land to redevelop it for a better
use and eventually agreed to
total cost of $2.63 million with
a plan to redevelop the 1.97-
acre site for its best use.
Davis explained that the
RFP requested the purchase
price be paid up front and that
architectural renderings be
submitted. He said both pro-
posals offered one but not the
other.
Davis said that the finance
committee made a motion to
have staff continue working
with developers to flesh out
their proposals with the intent
to include a workforce hous-
ing component, design with
renderings and willingness to
consider other financial terms.
Davis pointed out the T.
Wall Enterprises would pay
upfront but is requesting 100
percent of the increment, while
JT Klein Company’s proposal
asks for the city to provide the
land while keeping all of the
increment generated.
Alder Dan Ramsey said he
didn’t think going back to ne-
gotiating with the developers
would be helpful and that the
city should make a decision.
Alder Mark Sullivan said
the priorities from the council
initially were recouping the
city’s purchase price and gen-
erating as much increment as
possible.
“There is only one devel-
oper that gets us there,” Sul-
livan said. “I think we are just
wasting time having to essen-
tially have these two devel-
opers rebid when only one is
responsive to the RFP.”
Alder JoAnna Richard said
she wants to see both proposals
go forward to see how much
the city can get.
The motion passed five to
three with alders Sullivan,
Ramsey and Olson voting

nance costs. She pointed out
that all designs included public
restrooms which was strongly
advocated for in public input.
She said for day to day events
people did not want to have to
rely on nearby business to use
the restroom.
She said she was looking
at options for maintenance
including the possibility of
adding hours to a community
development authority mainte-
nance position or divvying up
the work between multiple city
departments.
“There aren’t that many city
meetings that I am involved
with where we get that much
interest from the public, so it
is exciting to see that,” Attoun
said, adding that there was a
lot of community input.
The common council also

He called the 8.99 increase in
expenses “excessive” compared
to the 3 percent increase in infla-
tion.
“Keep the reserves for capital
projects and parks as the people
were told they would (be) spent

DiMiceli said clamping down
on borrowing and restrain on
spending would get the town “to
the point where we won’t have to

reserves.
Public works expenses next

over this year, which Interim
Town Administrator Robin
Meier said were due to repairs for
flood damage and also increased
attention to shouldering roads
which had been deferred in prior
budgets.
Board Supervisor Paul Con-

Study Examines Effect of Fish Oil on
Alzheimer’s Risk in Veteran Population
MADISON–More than 5
million Americans are living
with Alzheimer’s disease, and
experts predict that number
will triple by 2050 unless doc-
tors find successful prevention
treatments. The situation is even
more critical for veterans, who
face a higher risk for Alzheim-
er’s disease than the general
population.
The health and science com-
munities are working on treat-
ing this disease on many fronts,
from drugs and treatments that
stop or slow the disease, to life-
style changes like diet and exer-
cise that help delay the onset of
symptoms. Researchers at the
William S. Middleton Memorial
Veterans Hospital in Madison
are looking at another possible
intervention–studying whether
a prescription-strength dose of
fish oil may protect against Al-
zheimer’s disease in veterans
with a family risk for the dis-
ease.
Risk factors in veterans
Age is the greatest risk factor
for Alzheimer’s disease–one in
nine people age 65 and older,
and one-third of people age 85
and older, have Alzheimer’s
disease. Family history and ge-
netics also play major roles in
determining a person’s risk for
developing the disease. How-
ever, a range of lifestyle and
health-related factors determine
Alzheimer’s disease risk as well.
Numerous studies show a ra-
cial gap in Alzheimer’s disease
and other dementias. African
Americans and Native Ameri-
cans are twice as likely, and
Hispanics are one and a half
times more likely, to develop the
disease than whites. While sci-
entists know these differences
exist, they do not know why.
In the veteran population,
research has shown men and
women who experience active
military duty are at an increased
risk of developing Alzheimer’s
disease than the general popu-
lation. Health care providers
speculate the increased risk in
veterans can be attributed to the
heart-head connection. Veterans
experience high cholesterol,
traumatic brain injury, post-
traumatic stress disorder, and
depression at higher rates than
the non-military population–all
health concerns that increase a
person’s risk for developing Al-
zheimer’s disease.
Volunteer for the BRAVE
study
In recent years, scientists
have identified health changes
that happen to people in their
50s and 60s that indicate an in-
creased likelihood they will go
on to develop Alzheimer’s dis-
ease. The goal of the BRAVE
study is to determine if taking
prescription-strength fish oil
supplements can slow these
changes and delay the onset
of the telltale symptoms of
Alzheimer’s disease, namely
changes to memory and other
thinking skills, as well as per-
COUNTY
sonality changes.
The BRAVE study team at the
William S. Middleton Memorial
Veterans Hospital in Madison is
looking for 150 veterans to vol-
unteer for this study. Volunteers
for the BRAVE study must fit all
of the following requirements:
• Veteran who is eligible for VA
services
• Age 50-75
• No clinical diagnosis of a
memory disorder
• Had a parent with Alzheimer’s
disease or dementia
The study requires nine visits
spread over 18 months at the
William S. Middleton Memorial
Veterans Hospital and the UW-
Madison. If you are interested

growers that they needed more
time to find land and seed
sources, and that processors and
growers needed time to make
arrangements–for growers to
find a market for their crop, and
processors to have growers to
supply them,” Kuhn said. “We
still urge applicants to get their
completed paperwork in early
to avoid a crunch at the end that
will slow down the process.”
The new deadline is for
both new applicants and those
renewing their registrations
for the 2019 growing season.
Kuhn emphasized that the Dec.
WEEKLY
15 deadline remains for 2018
growers and processors to file
their final reports. The depart-
ment will not renew registra-
tions until 2018 final reports
are filed and all 2018 sampling
fees are paid.
He reminded applicants to
be sure their applications are
complete to assure the quickest
processing.

formation about the industrial

Wreaths After Holidays
MADISON–If you’re deco-
rating with boxwood wreaths
or boughs this holiday season,
watch where you place them
and be sure to dispose of them
properly when January rolls
around.
“If you decorate with box-
wood, keep it away from box-
wood or Pachysandra plantings
in your yard,” says Brian Kuhn,
director of the Plant Industry
Bureau in the Wisconsin De-
partment of Agriculture, Trade
and Consumer Protection. “At
the end of the season, don’t
compost the decorations. Place
them in sealed plastic bags and
put them in your garbage.”
The reason to take these pre-
cautions is boxwood blight, a
fungal disease found in Wis-
consin for the first time this
past July. Although it’s been
detected in only one nursery in
southeastern Wisconsin, box-
wood decorations may come
from other states that have the
disease. State plant health of-
ficials are on the lookout and
would like holiday decorators
to do the same.
Boxwood is popular in land-
commonly known as Japanese
spurge and Allegheny spurge.
Like boxwood, they are popu-
lar in landscaping, used as ev-
ergreen groundcovers.
DATCP nursery inspectors
will be watching for boxwood
blight and other pests and dis-
eases in Christmas trees and
other decorations when they
conduct tree lot inspections be-
ginning Nov. 26. The inspectors
visit Christmas tree fields in
autumn to assure that trees des-
tined for other states are free of
pests and diseases. When tree
lots open in Wisconsin, they

State Bank of Cross Plains Disaster Cookie Sale Celebrates 10 Years
Recovery Donations Complete
By Rob Westerlund
Times-Tribune
CROSS PLAINS–The flood-
ing of Aug. 20 in western Dane
County caused significant dam-
age to many private residences
and businesses in the Black
Earth Creek valley. The dam-
age ranged from minor water
damage in basements to major
damage destroying residential
foundations. The State Bank
of Cross Plains (SBCP) was
instrumental in coordinating a
Disaster Recovery Account to
which individuals and organi-
zations made donations to assist
flood victims. Members of the
community who experienced
losses due to flood could apply
to the bank to receive portions
of the fund.
To equitably distribute funds,
SBCP the formed an oversight
committee including govern-
ment representatives from
Cross Plains, Black Earth,
and Mazomanie as well as
reps from Middleton Outreach
Ministry, the United Way, and
bank personnel. They carefully
considered submitted requests,
adjudicating eight different cat-
egories ranging from requests
for funds to replace small ap-
pliances ruined by flood waters
to major structural damage.
The total amount raised was
$132,000. The bank mailed
letters to all who applied, the
proceeds being disbursed by
Nov. 10.
Jim Tubbs, President and
CEO of the SBCP said, “The
community believed it was
important to provide slightly
larger donations with those
with the greatest need, the
greatest damage.” While not
every applicant was a recipient
of the damage fund, those who
are still in need should contact
FEMA and other government
organizations in order to de-
termine if they qualify for sup-
portive funds.
Local businesses in the di-
saster area may be eligible for
financial assistance from the U.
S. Small Business Administra-
tion (SBA). Application filing
deadlines for physical damage
is Dec. 17 and for economic in-
jury is July 18, 2019.

newcomers, Middleton could
be poised for another sensa-
tional year.
“It was a surreal moment for
everyone when we realized we
had a shot at second,” Middle-
ton coach Danny Lynam said
of the Cardinals’ state run in
2017-‘18. “Everyone was so
laser focused and tried to get
every touch out we could. In
the end, everyone was incred-
ibly happy. We couldn’t have
asked for better from anyone.”
Middleton, which kicked off
its season last weekend, brings
back a terrific core that hopes
to make a run at a state title.
Senior captain Andrew Mar-
tin was seventh at state last
year in the 500-yard freestyle
and ninth in the 200-yard free-
style. This year, Martin is hop-
ing to finish even better in both
events.
“Andrew has also shown a
talent for sprinting this year,”
Lynam said. “Andrew will fill
a crucial hole left by Michael
Draves last year. Look for him Times-Tribune photo by Mary Langenfeld

in the flow of things, we know
he’s capable of scoring.”
You can add scoring to
Thomas’ to-do list after
he recorded a game-high
and career-best 18 points,
including 3 of 4 free throws in
the final minute, as Middleton
held on for a thrilling 57-51
victory over host Verona in a
Big Eight Conference game
last Saturday night.
Coming on the heels of a
disappointing 62-43 loss in a
Big Eight opener at Madison
East last Thursday, Bavery
was pleased the Cardinals put

Gymnasts have high hopes
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
The numbers are impressive
once again.
There is youth up and down
the roster.
And while Middleton’s girls
gymnastics team was hit some
unexpected challenges this off-
season, the Cardinals are still
thinking big.
Middleton begins its season
Thursday against Madison
West at 6:30 p.m. The Cardi-
nals have an extremely young
team, but also have the biggest
squad in school history with 27
gymnasts.
“It’s a young team, with only
one senior,” Middleton coach
Kari Steck said. “So it will
definitely be a building year
for Middleton. The depth and
potential is incredible though.
There is a lot of talent to work
with.”
Unfortunately for the Car-
dinals, Karina Sabol elected
to return to club gymnastics. A
year ago, Sabol joined the Car-
dinals and had a sensational
season highlighted by a state
championship on the vault.
“Karina made the diffi-
cult decision to return to club
gymnastics this year after con-
sulting with college and club
coaches,” Steck said. “She’ll
definitely be missed!”
Middleton does have several
key gymnasts to build around.
Senior Captain Jordan Bag-
got finished 19th at state last
year in the all-around, was
14th on the beam and 16th on
the vault.
“She is a standout leader and
a consistent gymnast for us,”
Steck said of Baggot. “She has
worked hard over the offseason
to increase the difficulty in her
routines, and I expect she’ll be
a frontrunner in the conference
and sectional this year. Keep
an eye out for her at state again
this year.”
Sophomore Taylor Engelkes
earned a varsity spot as an all-
arounder last year and will be
looked to for bigger and better
this winter.
“Taylor will be a key player
this year,” Steck said. “She
MADISON

has been working so hard to
increase the difficulty in her
routines, and having a year
under her belt will help her
confidence.”
Freshmen Ella Mock and
Sami Swiersz will both jump
into the lineup and could be
poised for big rookie years.
“Ella Mock will be one to
keep an eye out for,” Steck
said. “She’s got a lot of un-
tapped talent.
“Sami Swiersz will also be
a key varsity contender for us
this year. It’s a young team, and
there are a lot of possibilities.”
Middleton captured a sec-
tional title a year ago and fin-
ished ninth at state. While there
are several questions today,
Steck believes the answers will
emerge throughout the year.
“I think we still have the
potential to be conference and
sectional contenders, but it will
take a lot of work,” she said.
“The girls seem ready for that
challenge though. As always,
our ultimate goal is that we
want the girls to have a healthy
and memorable season.
“We always emphasize the
expectation to the girls that we
want them to have fun. That’s
more important than winning,
and when they are having fun
it shows in the work effort they
put in and the scores that come
out.”

MHS swimmers race to fast start

BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune

Middleton’s boys swimming

team is off to a sensational
start.
The Cardinals raced past
Madison Memorial, 104-66,
last Friday. Middleton then
won the 19-team Nicolet Sprint
Invite last Saturday.
“Going into the Memorial
dual, we didn’t take anything
for granted,” Middleton coach
Danny Lynam said. “They lost
a lot of big hitters (from) last
year, but they are always very
aggressive in dual meets and
have caught better teams off
guard before. I have a lot of
respect for Paul (Eckerle) and
his guys. They are just a fierce
group of competitors, and he
always seems to give them
what they need to go fast at
any point.”
In Middleton’s win over
Madison Memorial, the quartet
of Archer Parkin, Nathan Kim,
Nate Lamers and Calvin Rob-
erts won the 200-yard medley
relay. The foursome Forrest
Peterson, Jack Mondi, Venden
Berge and Owen Roenneburg
was second.

to be a big point scorer for us
at state.”
Junior Nate Lamers finished
fourth at state in the 50-yard
freestyle and added a seventh-
place finish in the 100-yard
butterfly. Lamers was also part
of Middleton’s third place 200-
yard freestyle relay team and
its fifth place 200-yard medley
relay team.
“Nate has been a reliable
competitor throughout his first
two years, and should continue
through this year,” Lynam
said. “As someone who used
to focus on backstroke, he has
shifted his focus to the butter-
fly after a seventh place finish
at state last year.”
Senior captain Blake Zillner
was part of Middleton’s fourth
place 400-yard freestyle relay
team at state and the Cardinals’
fifth place 200-yard medley
relay team. Zillner was also
13th in the 100-yard freestyle
and 16th in the 100-yard back-
stroke.
“Blake had a breakout sea-
son last year and continues to
contribute to our freestyle re-
lays,” Lynam said. “Blake will
also be a determining factor in
our placement at state.”
Senior Archer Parkin was
sixth at state in the 50-yard
freestyle in 21.13. Parkin was
also part of Middleton’s third
place 200-yard freestyle relay
team and its fifth place 200-
yard medley relay team.
“Archer is a very talented
sprinter who we can con-
tinually rely on in big races,”
Lynam said. “Archer will be
vying for top spots on the po-
dium at state this year.”
Jack Mondi will specialize
in the breaststroke and the IM
and could have a big year.
“Jack was always a split
second behind Sam Young
last year, however this year he
has an opportunity to be a key
player in our lineup,” Lynam
said. “As one of our fastest
breaststrokers, Jack will help
us maintain our momentum
into the final relays.”
Junior captain Nathan Kim
placed eighth in the 200-yard
individual medley at state and
16th in the 100-yard butterfly.
“Nathan is one of our most
versatile swimmers, with a
fantastic feel for the water and
a competitive edge,” Lynam
said. “Nathan will be swim-
ming where we need him this
year depending on our compe-
tition, but look for him in the
fly and IM at state.”
Junior Forest Peterson was
19th at state last year in the
100-yard butterfly.
“Forrest finished at state last
year coming off a rough stretch
of the flu,” Lynam said. “He is
already looking better then he
finished last season and we ex-
pect him to have a few break-
out swims this season.”
And sophomore Joe McNer-
ney was 18th at state in both
the 200-yard freestyle and 500-
yard freestyle.
“Joe had a great start to his
freshman year last year, but had
a setback with a concussion to-
wards the end of the season,”
Lynam said. “He will be a key
swimmer for us in all distance
events, as well as a nice asset to
some of our B relays.”
Freshman Venden Berge
will be counted on for immedi-
ate contributions. Several other
youngsters could crack the
lineup, as well.
“Venden is a very versatile
swimmer,” Lynam said. “We
have yet to see exactly what
role he will play on the team,
but look forward to developing
his many talents.
“We also have a number of
guys who put in a lot of work in
the offseason, and have come
in ready to put everything they
have into this season.”
Madison West won the state
title a year ago and appears
loaded again. Madison Memo-
rial is also an annual threat and
should be strong, despite heavy
graduation losses.
Middleton has been trending
upwards since Lynam’s arrival
three years ago, highlighted by
last year’s sensational showing
at state. And if things go ac-
cording to plan, this year could
be even better.
“Three years ago when I
started as head coach I made it
clear to the guys, we are a state
focused team,” Lynam said.
“Everything we do is prepa-
ration for our performance at
state. The guys know that is
the motivation behind the deci-
sions we make, and nothing has
changed.
“Every single guy on that
team knows they are contrib-
uting towards that goal, and I
think they truly got to see that
last year when our JV team set
the tone early in the postseason.
I constantly remind them, a ris-
ing tide raises all boats. Every
one of them earned a piece of
that trophy last year, no matter
when their season ended. And
I know they are hungry for
more.”
