Week 8
Week 8 wrestler of
the week
Jon Treml, Luxemburg-Casco, 189, Sr
Jon Treml rebounded from an earlier season loss to
Freedom’s Josh Schumacher by defeating him 14-7 in the championship match
of the Pulaski Invite. Schumacher entered the match as the top ranked
189-pounder in division two. The victory improved Treml’s record to 36-4
and moved him up to second in the division two rankings.
As we head into the conference tournaments, you can
start to notice which wrestlers have been working hard, and which one’s
started out their season strong and haven’t improved that much. Many
wrestlers have turned some heads by defeating some higher ranked wrestlers
along with winning some stacked weight classes at a few tournaments. You,
the fans voted Green Bay Preble/East’s Malachi Root as week seven’s
wrestler of the week. Since many of you seem to like the new way of
picking the wrestler of the week, we will continue to do so. I would
encourage many of you to send in nominations; especially those that
complain that so and so didn’t get noticed. This is your chance, and if
you would like to make a nomination for the following week, please drop me
an email at
Bbaker@wiwrestling.com. When making nominations, please include
recent victories of notice and scores as well.
