Mineral Point wrestlers had some tough luck at the Individual State Championships, but brought home some medals.
Liam Carey led the medal parade taking second at 126 lbs.
Sophomore Trigg Riley took third at 106 and junior Jacob Dannenberg was fifth at 165.
Sixth places went to 113 lb. sophomore Memphis Burkhalter and 157 lb. junior Emmett Collins. Mineral Point coach Curtis Fiedler was proud of everyone’s effort over the weekend.
“We always want more, but overall we were able to get 6 of our 9 wrestlers on the podium, and we were competing in every match. Was really proud of the effort from all of our wrestlers this weekend. We battled all weekend and I know our kids are never satisfied and always want more, which I know they have the ability to take that and use it for this upcoming weekend for team state. But overall, I couldn’t be prouder of this group of young men and women at the Kohl Center.”
