Seniors Luke Engelhaupt andDylan Veal continued to remain un-defeated on the season, withEngelhaupt going 4-0 in the 170 lb.class and Veal 4-0 in the 182 lb.division and was selected the topwrestler for the tournament.

The Tigers forfeited only twoweight classes during the week, gain-ing more strength and momentum atthe right time of the season.

“It was very positive for us to winthe tournament,” said Sterling CoachJustin Jedlicka. “We filled most ofthe weights and we are getting a fullteam together. We still have a lot towork on, but we’re getting closer towhere we need to be by regionaltime, which is 3 weeks away.
