Andy Baggot: Appropriately, UW honors two worthy champions

It?s not often you get to see a breakthrough act and dynasty appear on the same stage, but that?s what the marquee said Monday. In a stroke of promotional smarts, the University of Wisconsin Athletic Department took a moment to acknowledge two of its best stories. Nearly 600 people came to the Nicholas-Johnson Pavilion to appreciate two keepsake moments: The UW women?s hockey team, fresh off winning its fourth NCAA title since 2006, and senior Maggie Meyer, who became the first athlete in the history of UW women?s swimming and diving to win an NCAA individual title.
