CHAMPAIGN - Providence Catholic's 126-pound wrestler Max Mandac celebrates his 8-3 win over IC Catholic's Sammy Murate for the Class 2A title on Saturday night at the IHSA Individual Wrestling State Finals at the State Farm Center. Mandac was one of three Celtic wrestlers to take home a championship medal from this year's state wrestling tournament. This time last year, the sophomore finished his first high school wrestling season with a losing record. Hard work and relentless training a matchchanger for Mandac.
