Sectional Champions

Postseason wrestling started Saturday for Lake Mills in Eagle Grove, as the Bulldogs scored 233.5 points to run away with the Sectional title.
"It was nice to have another solid team performance today," said Coach Alex Brandenburg. "We had some ups and downs, but our balance throughout paved the way to the win."
With the win, the team qualified for Regional Duals which was held Tuesday night in Lake Mills.
On top of the tournament win, seven individuals qualified for the District Tournament Saturday, which is also in Lake Mills. Four of the qualifiers advanced as champions: Caiden Jones, Michael Olsen, Gabe Irons, and Slade Sifuentes. Three others are moving on to districts as runners-up: Tyler Helgeson, Kyle Beery, and Cael Boehmer. "It is nice to have half the team move onto districts," Brandenburg said. "As a coach, you are always hoping to squeak a few more through, but I am happy these seven have a shot at going to state."
The team now shifts its attention to Tuesday night and Regional Duals. Fourth ranked Lake Mills faced St. Ansgar in one semifinal while No. 13 ranked Central Springs wrestles West Hancock in the other. The winners squared off for the right to move onto state duals.
"We are excited about being able to host regional duals," Brandenburg said. "It will be nice to have the home crowd helping us out."
