FERGUS FALLS — The Alexandria wrestling team went 2-1 at a quad in Fergus Falls on Friday night, beating Ottertail Central 63-18 and Fergus Falls 60-15 around a 46-36 loss to Sartell.
Alexandria juniors Blaze Nelson and Kelly Johnson both secured their 100th career wins in the match against OTC.
“This is a huge accomplishment in a wrestler’s career and shows the tremendous effort and commitment these two young men have to the sport of wrestling and the Alexandria program,” assistant coach Andrew Kratzke said.
The Cardinals (12-8) wrestled Sartell in their final match of the day, and they knew it would come down to a few close matches to get the team win.
“Going into the last weight, the dual was up for grabs and whoever won that match would likely win the dual,” Kratzke said. “Unfortunately, we came up just a little short in that last match but the effort and energy tonight was tremendous from all the wrestlers. They gave themselves a chance and put themselves in a position to win each and every match. It was great to see that effort and energy as we begin the stretch run before section tournaments.”
