According to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, McHugh swam a pair of personal bests Sunday to advance to the final in the men's 100-yard breaststroke. He registered the fifth-fastest time with a 59.68 in the semifinal heat. The top-seed is Michael Andrew after swimming a time of 58.14.
Luxemburg-Casco and Kewaunee's trap shooting teams competed in the state trap shoot meet over the weekend. They shot a 476, nine birds behind the eventual state champion.
Luxemburg-Casco's fishing team had a strong showing at its state tournament in LaCrosse. The team consisting of Charlie Simonar and Ethan Jerabek finished in 7th place out of 21 teams. The top three high school teams even outfished some of the college squads competing.
