West Hancock hosted Lake Mills, Belmond-Klemme and Northwood-Kensett Tuesday night in a Top of Iowa Conference quadrangular meet.

The Bulldogs squared off against N-K first and came away with a 51-27 victory.

Five wrestlers pinned Viking opponents in the meet.

Belmond-Klemme was the middle dual of the evening, and the Bulldogs dominated by a score of 64-18.

“Our kids were very aggressive in our wins over N-K and B-K,” said Lake Mills coach Alex Brandenburg. “It was nice to secure a couple dual wins heading into break.”

In the final dual of the night, the Bulldogs took on a ranked West Hancock squad and lost 45-32. There were several close matches, and each team won some of those.

“I liked our intensity against West Hancock,” Brandenburg said. “We were right in the meet and had a good chance to win if we had a couple more things go our way.”

By going 2-1 on the night, Lake Mills finishes the first half of the season with a 10-7 record.

“I am really pleased with the effort from this young team we have,” Brandenburg said. “The kids are improving very quickly and are on the right track.” Bulldogs who finished the night a perfect 3-0 were Lucas Oldenkamp, Hayden Helgeson, Carter Helgeson, Alex Beaty and Hayden Brua.
