Swimmers Focus on Conference

On Saturday, Oct. 24, the Monroe/New Glarus girls swim team competed in the 31st Hillmen Invitational at Platteville. The girls placed fifth overall with 271 points and missed tying for fourth place by only 1.5 points. Additionally, they earned 114 points more than they scored last year.
“This was not one of their best meets, and it never is because they are working extra hard at practice to be ready for conference and sectionals; they are always tired at this point in the season,” stated Head Coach Linda Moser.

Belleville Knocked off by Brodhead in Regionals

“As always, we approached the regional match against Brodhead with the attitude that every team is beatable. Freshman Jade Halvensleben stepped up for us, leading the team with four kills for the match, but unfortunately, missed serves and problems with serve receive did not allow us to get the lead in any of the sets,” said Head Coach Jill Haag. “It was an emotional night for all of us, saying goodbye to our seniors Clare, Lauren, and Ryley. We would all like to thank parents, students, and fans for coming to the matches and supporting and cheering us on throughout the season.”

Return to Twining

What do you find more exciting: long series of playoffs, or a sudden-death contest?  (Maybe it depends if you are a Cubs fan?)  In cross country the season focuses on one sectional race, followed by the state championship.  Friday afternoon at Monroe’s Twining Park sees fifteen Division Two teams line-up for that one chance.  Our southwest corner of the state is different than any other area in the midwest.  We live on unglaciated land (glaciers went right around us and reconvened in Illinois!), large areas of prairie (why do you think our ancestors settled here?) and fast cross country ru

Cover Crops - More Than Soil Erosion Protection

Many farmers are noticing a bump in production after cover crops. Is this due to some magic that happens when covers are planted? Likely not. It can most likely be attributed to the biological processes that are enhanced with a living root in the soil. Roots are the best way to feed your soil.
