The Middle School Silver Knights have continued in their successes as well. This past Saturday January 16th, they traveled to Wilmington Middle School to wrestle in the Wilmington classic. Placing for the Knights were Austin Northern who took 3rd, Billy France who took 3rd, Jesse Campbell who took 2nd, and winning in OT, Stuart Seltman who took first place outright. The team, due to other contributions from David Delworth, Alex Debus, and Erik Wenzel, finished the best it has ever finished in any tournament. They took 10th place out of 22 teams with 70 points.
Personal best records include Billy France at 12-1, Stuart Seltman at 11-1, David Delworth at 8-4, and Austin Northern at 8-4.
They will look to complete their successful season when they host the Summit Super Dual this Saturday January 23rd and also when they travel to CCD next Saturday and wrestle in the MVC league tournament.
