Luxemburg-Casco's likely exit from Division 2 wrestling was on a high note as they defeated St. Croix Falls 36-19 to claim their 14th WIAA Team State Championship.
The Spartans and the Saints traded wins early in a trio of low-scoring matches. Carson Neubert switched the momentum in favor of the Spartans with a two-period tech fall. The two teams split the next four matches before the Spartans' Caleb Delebreau secured a first-period pin. The score would remain close until the final three matches when Sam Schutz, Trace Schoenebeck, and Ezra Waege won out to clinch the title for the Spartans.
The win marked the second straight title for the Spartans after being Prairie du Chien last year, but there will be no repeat at Division 2. The WIAA's new Performance Factor rules have the Spartans likely moving up to Division 1 based on the program's past success. They will try to return to Madison sans nine senior: Jake Jandrin, Michael Bostwick, Brian Enderby, Delebreau, Max Ronsman, Isaac Jerabek, Schutz, Schoenebeck, and Waege.
