The Bulldog wrestlers competed in two dual meets in Clear Lake Thursday.

The first dual of the night pitted Lake Mills against 2A ranked Hampton-Dumont-CAL, and the opponent dominated 55-18.

“It was one of our worst performances of the season,” said coach Alex Brandenburg. “We could have made this a much closer dual if we had wrestled better.”

In the nightcap, Lake Mills wrestled host Clear Lake and prevailed, 48-26.

“Overall, we wrestled much better against Clear Lake,” Brandenburg said. “It was great to reach 20 dual wins in a season where 16 of our 20 wrestlers are freshmen or sophomores.”

These were the last two regular season duals for Lake Mills, who finished with a 20-11 record. All 11 losses came to ranked teams.
