The Lake Mills wrestling team traveled north of the border Saturday and had a great showing by placing second at the Blue Earth Tournament. The effort was led by seven wrestlers placing in the top two of their respective weight classes.

“We were extremely happy with how the kids wrestled today,” coach Alex Brandenburg said. “Many of the kids improved from mistakes made Thursday night in Nashua.”

Despite having seven wrestlers as finalists, only one Bulldog was crowned champion.

Freshman Lucas Oldenkamp won the 106 pound weight class by pinning all three opponents.

“It was exciting to have seven kids in the finals,” Brandenburg said. “I wish we could have had more than one champ, but we’ll take what we can get with this young team.”
