Marathon County League
The Marathon County League is a former high school athletic conference in Wisconsin, comprising primarily schools in Marathon County. It was in existence from 1928 to 1949, and all member schools belonged to the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association.
History
The Marathon County League, alternatively known as the Marathon County Athletic Association, was formed in 1928 as a basketball conference between five small Marathon County-based high schools in central Wisconsin: Athens, Edgar, Marathon, Mosinee, and Stratford. A sixth school was added in 1934 when Auburndale moved over from the neighboring Wood County League, and despite their location outside of Marathon County, the league did not change its name. Auburndale would leave the Marathon County League three years later before returning to the Wood County League. The conference lasted for just over two decades before four member schools joined former Wood County League members Auburndale, Pittsville and Rudolph in 1949 to form the new Marawood Conference. Mosinee, the only school not to participate in the new league, played as an independent before joining the Central Wisconsin Conference in 1950 and the Lumberjack Conference in 1953.Conference membership history
