Crestwood crowns six champions, grabs first at Flanagan Invite

 

CRESCO - A stellar team effort helped the Class 2A No. 8 Crestwood wrestling squad crown six individual champions and capture first place in the team standings for the second straight year Saturday at the Chris Flanagan Invitational.
Cadets who grabbed individual titles included: Kaden Anderlik (113), Ryan Steffen (132), Colter Bye (138), Chris Guest (145), Trae Pecinovsky (152), Trevor Trende (220).  Anderlik was also named the Outstanding Wrestler at the tournament.
Jacob Knutson (285) finished second, Matthew Slifka (106) took third, and Cade Wenthold (126) and Tyrone Grant (160) both placed fourth.
“The Flanagan Tournament was a nice bounce back for us after our first Class 2A dual loss (to New Hampton on Thursday),” Cadet Coach Keith Slifka said. “Coming into Saturday, we knew we would have a nice tournament with everyone being competitive. It was nice to be able to get some extra wrestlers on the mat.
“It was good to have seven guys in the finals and have six champions. We only lost a couple matches in the final round. Kaden Anderlik started us out well at 113 in the finals and wrestled very well. Ryan Steffen, Colter Bye, Trae Pecinovsky and Trevor Trende all wrestled really well in the finals. It was encouraging to see our guys bounce back after the dual loss to New Hampton.
“Overall, I was very pleased with how all of our guys wrestled. It was a great atmosphere at the tourney, we had some great fans there and the gym was full. I want to thank all the people working at the tournament and our fans,” Slifka said.
Four Crestwood wrestlers are currently ranked in the top 10 including: Kaden Anderlik, No. 3; Ryan Steffen, No. 7; Trae Pecinovsky, No. 3; Trevor Trende, No. 9.
The Cadets will compete against Decorah and Charles City Jan. 12 at Decorah. On Jan. 14, Crestwood will compete at the MFL Tournament.
