This weekend, four Wisconsin teams converge on the Midwest Championships. With nineteen different programs and twenty-four sides represented in three different divisions, including five b-sides, this event has become probably the largest and most competitive girls rugby event in the country. Six different state champions will be represented in a unique regional championship. Established in 1999, the Midwest will crown its 13th Regional Champion. With six different teams currently listed in Rugby Magazine’s top twenty in the country, and several more who could stake a claim to consideration, the brackets are as stacked as they’ve ever been.
The top two brackets feature several great matchups. In particular, if #6 Lakewood and #7 Kettle Moraine manage to advance, and that’s by no means a given, they are poised for an epic semi-final clash of two talented programs with high aspirations.
