Noah Blair for Millard West wrestled hard against his opponent Angel Mejia from Fremont. Blair was able to pin Mejia for the win, adding to the Wildcats success throughout the dual. “Overall I think our team performed great, we won our last dual of the year and I cant wait to see what districts hold for us this weekend followed by the state next week. Of course we were happy in the moment with our win, but we came back with that winners mentality the next day, there’s always room for improvement and we all know it.”

Schollmeyer won the match with a quick pin in the first period. “I think weve had a good season but we could have worked harder and pushed each other more in order to secure our spots at state,” Schollmeyer said. “Ive just been practicing harder and teaching the younger guys new moves and pushing them as much as I can so my legacy at west will be with the next generation.”

Senior Nate Hartman celebrates after a win against Omaha Burke. Hartman finished sixth in the State tournament. “A Lot of work went into my season this year. I traveled across the country with the Nebraska National this summer competing in places like Tulsa, Oklahoma to Fargo, North Dakota. I trained everyday at MWC Wrestling Academy, watched my diet to get down to weight, and did hundreds of hours of physical therapy recovering from a dislocated shoulder. My training partner throughout my whole career has been Wyatt May. I wouldnt be where I am today without him pushing me to reach my goals.”
