The playdowns for the Wisconsin Club Championships were recently completed at the Medford Curling Club. In a large field of 15 men's teams, the Dave Nelson rink from Madison emerged victorious 4-3 against the Dan Wiza team, also from Madison. Curling with Nelson were Patrick Roe, Will Buckingham, and Erich Inglin.
4 teams vied for the women's championship, and in the end, the Sidney Schroeder team defended their state championship. The Schroeder rink is also the current national champion. The members of the Schroeder Team are Sidney Schroeder, Joanna Seboth, Lois Buckingham, and Celeste Taylor Marlow. Did you notice the similarity in names in the second spot on the teams? Yes, Will and Lois are father and daughter!
The Schroeder and Nelson Teams now will represent Wisconsin in the Club National Championships, set for the Milwaukee Curling Club March 26-30.
