The Lancers, improving from last year, finished 2nd in State, Feb. 23-24. Senior Andrew Wier took a bracket, becoming a State Champion. Senior Drew Mattison and freshmen Carter Brown, Caleb Frankenberger and Riley Sumner all finished 3rd at State. Senior Dylan Roth finished 4th, alongside junior Aiden Schoen. Roth became the second-ever Lancer to medal all four years at State. Sophomore Calum Brown finished 6th. Andrew was happy his father and team coach, Joe Wier, had a front row seat to his State Championship win. “I wanted him  to be there because he’s pushed me my whole life and I really wanted to [win] for him. We can pick who our coaches were and he doesn’t normally coach me, but I picked him to be my coach for that match to share that moment with him,” Andrew said.
