The Wildcats hosted a triangular meet last Thursday, January 19 at Chisago Lakes High School.  They lost both of their matches by wide margins, falling to Big Lake 55-24 and succumbing to Forest Lake 51-18.  The next night , the Wildcats lost a home dual to St. Francis 60-15.  Andrew Novack was the only Wildcat wrestler to go undefeated in the three duals, and won two of his matches by first period pins.  Wildcat sophomore Logan Bender, ranked fourth in the state at 195 pounds in Class AA, had matchups against two other ranked wrestlers.  Against Forest Lake, Bender moved up to 220 to take on junior Mark Rendl, ranked second in the state in Class AAA at 220.  Rendl pinned Bender with four seconds left in the first period.  Bender moved back down to 195 the next night to go up against Bo Flagstad of St Francis, ranked fifth in that state.  Flagstad came out on top with a pin at the five minute mark.
