History was made this past weekend.

On Saturday, Feb. 21, junior Chase Behrndt lost a hard fought 1-0 match to Timberland’s Danny Williams, winning silver at the tournament.

Behrndt has sparred with Williams in the past, explaining the low score.

“I’ve wrestled him before, he beat me pretty good last time. This time, though, I knew what I was doing, and it became a test of who could ride who out,” he said.

Behrndt is the first heavyweight wrestler in Lafayette history to place in the finals at the State level, as well as the first State medalist under the helm of head coach Jonathan Sumner

“I’m pretty proud of what I accomplished. I was only one point away from first, so I’m confident that I can get to that level next year,” he said.

Not to discredit Behrndt’s fellow teammates, juniors Brendan McKenna and Alex Wier placed 5th and 6th in the tournament, respectively.

Here’s hoping for even more medalists for the Lancers wrestling squad next year.
