Minnewaska wrestlers No. 1 at Big Lake

Minnewaska Area wrestling is a team to watch this winter. Lots of brawn and determination in the Lakers' lineup. They own the No. 3 Class 'A' ranking.
They lived up to the lofty status Friday in the Big Lake Invitational. It was a big ten-team affair and it saw the 'Waska boys prevailing. They came on really strong in the weight classes of 152 and higher. They took the team title with their score of 214.5. The host big Lake squad was No. 2 (184). Then came Albany (150.5), Minnetonka (137) and KMS (111).
The "little guy," Nick Ankeny at 106 pounds, went 2-2 for a fifth place showing. Hunter Laage occupied 113 pounds and he went 0-3 but was awarded sixth. Mason Schiffler vied at 120 pounds and he had an 0-2 day. Then at 126 pounds, Jacob Blair carried the banner for 'Waska and he went 2-1 for second place.
Easton McCrory vied at 132 pounds and he picked up a third place showing at 3-1. David Lilienthal was the 138-pound warrior and came out on the short end in two bouts. Mason Blair was the Laker 152-pounder and he garnered champion honors at 3-0.
As we get into the heavier weights, the Lakers really bore down to excel. Max Reichmann went 3-0 to pick up his champion honor at 160 pounds. Ryan VanLuik turned back all challengers for No. 1 at 170. Tyson Meyer had a 3-0 day for No. 1 at 182 pounds. Tyler VanLuik garnered No. 1 with his 2-0 showing at 195. Dylan Jergenson took the crown with his three wins at 220.
"Big guy" Jakob Swalla was No. 1 in his weight with three wins (285 pounds). Congrats to the surging Lakers of Minnewaska Area.
