WAUPUN, Wis. — The New Glarus Glarner Knights delivered a strong showing Tuesday at the Capitol Conference Championship, with the girls team placing fourth and the boys team finishing fifth at Waupun High School.

The New Glarus girls scored 81 points to finish fourth behind Lakeside Lutheran, Lodi and Columbus. The New Glarus boys scored 68 points, placing fifth in a 12-team field.
