The 1989 state champion Luxemburg-Casco girls' cross country team featured some familiar faces, and not just because they were on the 1987 squad.
Led by Mark Annoye, Tracy Wendricks (15th, 12:28), Monica Thiry (48th, 13:00) and Ann Destiche (4th, 11:50) returned to bring the trophy back to Luxemburg after a year away. Destriche crushed her time from the last state championship, dropping her time by almost a minute to give the Spartans the coveted one spot for scoring teams. Three of its top five runners finished in the top-10 of title-eligible squads. There was plenty of family on the team as well with Destriche being joined by Joan (11th, 12:22) and the Stahl family was represented by Jenny and Becky.
Another Destriche, Mary, would win the individual title in 1990, but the team would finish as the runner-up to Mount Horeb. The Spartans beat second-place Verona in 1989 by a score of 85 to 97.
