Lakeland Mercer, the conference runner up last season, welcomed Antigo for an early season
conference dual meet.Action started at the 113 pound weight class, where Logan Gray-Ives of Lakeland used multiple takedowns to earn a major decision against Jonathan Wissbroecker.
Lakeland would continue the early success with pinfall victories over Owen Medo and Aidan Kielcheski.
Freshman Jack Sundermeyer pick up his first varsity victory in a very exciting, hotly contested matchup
against Victor Reyes. Reyes was able to earn a pair of first period takedowns, while Sundermeyer was
able to earn a pir of escapes and a pair of penalty points to enter the second period tied at 4.
Sundermeyer would choose to start on bottom in the second period, and an escape led to a 5-4 Antigo
lead. The match would see tons of action and near scoring opportunities, but good defense by each
wrestler led to stalemates in the remaining periods, and Sundermeyer earned an impressive 5-4 victory.
Lakeland would pick up another pair of pinfall victories over Seth Medo and Levi Binversie before Antigo
middleweights started a winning streak.
Starting at 157 pounds, Jayson Arrowood would use a takedown against an escape by Jerome LaBarge to
take a 2-1 lead into the second period. In the second period, Arrowood started on bottom and earned a
reversal, against another escape by Labarge for a 4-2 lead going into the third. In the third period,
LaBarge earned an escape, Arrowood earned another takedown, and a late escape by Labarge ended
the match 6-4 in favor of the Antigo wrestler.
Nolan Kielcheski would take to the mat at 165 pounds and faced Tommy Howard. Howard was able to
earn a late first period takedown to take a 2-0 lead. In the second period, Kielcheski earned a takedown,
and locked up a cradle for the pinfall victory at 2:56.
Jack Stronstad would keep the hot streak going at 175 pounds against Kenny Thompson. Stronstad
earned the first takedown, and after an escape by Thompson, Stronstad took a 2-1 lead into the second
period. Stronstad chose to start the second period on the bottom, and earned a pair of penalty points
when Thompson locked his hands trying to defend against switch attempts. Stronstad would then earn
an escape, add a takedown, and eventually pinned his opponent with 3 seconds left in the second
period.

takedown, nearfall, and then another turn for the pinfall victory.
