Middleton (WI)
Winning its state meet in convincing fashion -- over 100 points to the second-place team -- Middleton has proven its are a real contender at NXR Heartland. Leading the team will be Caleb Easton and Sam Jaeger, who have both run sub-16 minutes and have run times of 15:47 and 15:56, respectively.
Although the squad did lose to Minnetonka, Edina and Dowling Catholic at Roy Griak, the team has won every meet since and are red hot as of late. If Middleton's top two have a good race and its three, four, and five are able to hang with the top group or chase pack, Middleton could see a podium finish.
