MADISON – Driving into downtown Menomonie just before crossing the bridge, the Menomonie Booster Club has a board listing all of the team and individual champions from Menomonie High School. Well, get the paint out because there is another state champion for the Mustangs.

Junior Aiden Aure captured the WIAA 138-pound Division 1 title in impressive fashion, taking the crown with an 8-3 decision over top-seeded Cashtyn Botting of Hortonville Saturday at the Kohl Center.

Aure, who finished the season with a 37-4 record, was dominant in his first two matches, downing Bodi Kothari Schmi of Brown Deer/Messmer/Shorewood in with a technical fall of 16-1 in only 1-minute, 29-seconds. Aure followed that up with another one-sided win, downing Patrick Skrundz of Burlington with a technical fall of 20-4 in 5:37.

Aure, who entered the weekend as the third seed in his weight class, had his toughest match of the three-day weekend when he captured a 10-9 win over second seeded Nathan Henderson of Holmen to advance to the championship match.

Last season Aure finished fourth at the state meet while competing at 126-pounds, while Botting of Hortonville was third at 132-pounds. This was Aure’s third trip to the state tournament.

Luke Pember placed sixth at 165-pounds. Pember won his first match, on a fall at 1:52, then dropped his second round match. He came back to win his next two matches on a fall and major decision, then fell in the fifth place match.

Also competing at state for Menomonie were Bailey Casey at 132-pounds, Aaron Howard at 157-pounds, Jacob Anderson at 175 pounds and Bryce Shepard at 215 pounds.
