Pointers face Random Lake as #2 seed at Team State


The 2020-2021 Team State wrestling title will be decided in WIAA Division 3 Saturday.
From this area all eyes will be on Mineral Point, an undefeated team and the second seed in the four team field. The tournament will take place at Wausau West High School instead of the usual UW-Fieldhouse.
The Pointers face #3 seed Random Lake at 10:30 a.m.
Following are notes about the field.
THE DIVISION 3 FIELD:
Defending champion Coleman has been issued the #1 seed. The Cougars advance to State for the 15th time and for the second season in a row. They have won a total of 11 team championships. With the current dual format, they won the title in 2000, three in a row from 2010-12, in 2014, and again last year. They also claimed crowns before the dual format in 1960, 1962, 1963, 1964 and 1966 when there was only one division. In addition, they finished runner-up in 1959, 1961, 1981, 1983, 1996, 2008, 2013 and 2015. The Cougars are the champions of the Valders Sectional title to earn another State berth.
Second-seeded Mineral Point returns to the field for the first time since a string of five straight appearances ended in 2011. This will be the Pointers' 11th team tournament overall. They have won four State Championships, having won two straight Division 3 crowns from 2002-03 and also in 2008-09. The Pointers also had back-to-back runner-up finishes in 2010-11. This season, they are the champions of the sectional they hosted.
Third-seeded Random Lake returns to the State Team Tournament for the 10th straight season and for the 12th time overall. The Rams' most notable experience in the tourney was a runner-up finish in 2009. They earned their berth with their finish atop the Dodgeland Sectional standings.
Fourth-seeded Cadott is making its sixth appearance in the team tournament and its first since 2007 when they tied for the Division 3 championship. The Hornets also won the championship in 2001 and finished runner-up in 2005. They continue their quest for a third title after winning the St. Croix Falls Sectional.
