Every cross country powerhouse needs a start, and for Luxemburg-Casco it was 1982.
Coached by Russell Fameree, the breakthrough came one year after the Spartans came in second place to Verona by just a mere five points. In a two mile race, the Spartans placed five runners in the top 20, blowing past their rivals from Verona 40-81. Sue Rabas paced the Spartans with a time an 11:46 to come in sixth, followed closely by Jill Stahl with a time of 11:56 to finish in tenth. The third-place finisher for the team was Carrie Haen, who would go on to win an individual state title in cross country in 1985.
