Excellence is expected when you wrestle for St. Michael-Albertville, so the Knights’ 47-18 victory over Shakopee in the Class 3A championship match Thursday at Xcel Energy Center came as no surprise to anyone who’s followed high school wrestling this season.

The Knights are deep and talented, with two undefeated wrestlers with more than 40 victories — Landon Robideau and John Murphy — at key weights in their lineup. Five more have won more than 30. They were the defending champion, and they didn’t lose a match in 2024-25, finishing 27-0.
