ABOUT 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.
