1/25/12
The Muskegon wrestlers were led by finalist Tom Bolday of Capac at the Alma Open Saturday. Bolday made his way to the finals by defeating Jeremy DeMitchell of Michigan Club and Jared Groeneveld of Alma College before falling to Michigan Club wrestler Peter Waszkiewic by a close 6-5 margin. “Tommy wrestled well all day. His semi-final victory was especially impressive, Jared was an undefeated state champion last year and is an outstanding wrestler,” said Coach Mark Brunger. “We wrestled well today in a tournament that had some really good competition, including division one red-shirts and backups from Eastern, Central and Michigan State.” Also placing for the Jayhawks were Steven Ruppert of Reed City and Mat Henry of Owosso who both finished fourth in their respective weight classes.
