Results

Division B

Hamilton Middle School captured their 14th consecutive state title in record-breaking fashion. The team counted all 23 national events, taking 19 golds, 3 silvers, and 1 bronze. Their resultant score of 28 broke the record for either division at the Wisconsin State Tournament. Boyceville Middle School tied their best-ever finish with a return to second place, while Menomonie Middle School rounded out the top three. Hamilton placed a school-record 11th at the national tournament with a score of 366 points, missing out on a top 10 trophy by just 2 points.

Division C

The tournament was again dominated by Marquette University High School and Madison West High School, to an even greater degree than the previous year. The margin of victory of 33 points was deceptive given Madison West's 38th-place bomb in Mystery Architecture. The schools won 11 gold medals each, with Madison West attaining 10 silver medals to Marquette's 9. Marquette opted to count all 23 national events, while Madison West opted to count Mystery Architecture instead of Write It Do It. Had Madison West opted to count WIDI instead, they would have lost by only 1 point. Marquette secured their 4th consecutive state title and a bid to Michigan State University 2024. Madison West was left 2nd on the waitlist for nationals and was fortunately able to receive a bid after drops by South Dakota and then Idaho, marking the first double-bid for Wisconsin in Division C since 1991. At nationals, Marquette secured their second-ever top-10 finish with a 10th place, 328 point-performance while Madison West secured the Corteva Enterprise Award with a 13th place, 371-point performance, marking their best performance at nationals since 1992.

Although the 3rd-5th place teams did not beat Marquette or Madison West in any national events, their battle amongst themselves was nonetheless exciting. Hudson High School and Slinger High School secured their best-ever performances at state, placing 3rd and 4th, respectively. Despite defeating Hudson at their regional tournament, Menomonie High School fell to 5th, their worst performance at state since their 9th place finish in 2005. Boyceville High School's characteristic build-heavy performance propelled them a 6th place trophy, but their streak of top-4 finishes unfortunately came to an end.
