The first WISCA (Wisconsin Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association) Poll of the 2018-19 season for the girls is out, with Middleton ranked first in Division 1 and Madison Edgewood ranked first in Division 2.
Division 1 Top 5
- Middleton
- Sun Prairie
- Verona Area-Mount Horeb
- Brookfield East
- Waukesha West-Catholic Memor
Division 2 Top 5
- Madison Edgewood
- Seymour
- New Berlin Eisenhower
- Whitnall
- Monona Grova
Middleton, the defending Division 1 champions, start the new season in that same position, with a significant margin over the rest of the state.
In Division 2 the same is true for Madison Edgewood, who holds the top spot in the new-year poll by more than 200 points and are the defending Division 2 champions.
These rankings are typically volatile early in the season, and then stabilize as teams get more races (and data points for the rankings) on their schedules.
