It was a good week for the Wagner boys wrestling team.

The Red Raiders finished sixth at Saturday’s Winner Quarterback Invitational. While that might seem pedestrian to some wrestling fans that sixth place finish was accompanied by some impressive performances. The Red Raiders had four champions at Saturday’s meet as Karstyn Lhotak (132), Riley Roberts (150), Jhett Breen (165) and Gannon Knebel (190) all won titles.

In addition to an exemplary performance as a team, Jhett Breen moved to the No. 1 ranking at 165 and was named Dakota Grapplers Wrestler of the Week. 

Canton jumped back into the top spot in the team rankings with 158 points, ahead of Philip/Kadoka Area/Wall Badlands Brawlers (148) and Winner Area (129). Custer (119) and Wagner (102) round out the top-five teams this week. 

It was also a good week for the Winner Area wrestling team. 

On Friday the Warriors slipped past Philip/Kadoka Area/Wall Badlands Brawlers, 38-37 in a dual that came down to Criteria. The Warriors moved from No. 4 to No. 3 in this week’s dual rankings. Winner Area also moved from No. 4 to No. 3 in this week’s team rankings. Last week the Warriors were projected to score 106 points at the state meet. This week that number swelled to 126 as Winner captured their home tournament on Saturday.
