Southwest Wisconsin Conference Explained

The Southwest Wisconsin Conference, commonly referred as the SWC, is a Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) conference in southwest Wisconsin comprising the largest high schools in the area, including the school districts of Dodgeville, Lancaster, Platteville, Prairie du Chien, Richland Center, and River Valley.

History

The Southwest Wisconsin Conference was formed when the WIAA split the former Southwest Athletic League I and Southwest Athletic League II (SWAL I and SWAL II). In 2002, Cuba City had asked for a realignment of SWAL, and under the conference constitution, this was to be done by placing the seven largest schools in SWAL I and the seven smallest in SWAL II. Under this arrangement, Boscobel High School would be reassigned to the SWAL I Conference, and the school resisted the proposal. In 2004, representatives of each school met to discuss possible solutions, and it was decided that SWAL I and SWAL II would cease to exist. Instead, beginning in the 2005-2006 school year, the six schools from Dodgeville, Lancaster, Platteville, Prairie du Chien, Richland Center, and River Valley would be part of a new conference, later named the SWC. The remaining eight schools, Boscobel, Cuba City, Darlington, Fennimore, Iowa-Grant, Mineral Point, Riverdale, and Southwestern, would become the Southwest Athletic League (SWAL).[1]
