Two BSM wrestlers, senior Sam Gondeck and freshman Alex Peck, competed in the Class AA State Tournament, held at the Xcel Energy Center. Sam, who wrestled in the 160-pound weight class, is BSM's first wrestler to go to state two consecutive years. Wrestling at 103 pounds, Alex took second-place at state--the highest finish for a Red Knight wrestler. He was also the first BSM wrestler to take first place at the section tournament.

Three Wrestlers Went to State
For only the third time in BSM’s history, wrestlers competed at the state tournament. Three BSM wrestlers participated in the Class AA State Tournament, held March 4-6. Senior Justin Smith, with a record of 33-9, took on Lucas Meurer from Waseca (36-1) in the 135-pound weight class. Wrestling at 171 pounds, senior Kevin Commerford (29-9) challenged previous state medal-winner Mitch Vedders (42-0) of Milaca/Faith Christian. Senior Jason Anderson (23-5) was matched against Steven Jacobson (35-6), also of Milaca/Faith Christian, in the 215 weight class. Each of the three was defeated in the first round, and Kevin's first-round opponent went on to capture a title. Benilde alum Jerry Henk (’71) is the coach for the Red Knights. |
