Middleton WIAA Division 1 Sectional 
Amber Sanderson [below left and right] a senior at La Crosse Logan was a force for the Rangers at the Middleton Sectional. At the regional at Portage in 2011 Sanderson who had one of the best HH times in D1 caught a hurdle, took a fall, but still finished. However her time did not qualify her for the sectional.
