Four Shawano wrestlers won their weight classes to help the team to a third-place finish at the Omro Invitational on Saturday.

“Ben continues to wrestle at a high level,” said Shawano coach Michael Homan. “Andrew has done a really good job of getting better each week; he is wrestling much better than in the beginning of the season. We look for him to continue that the rest of the way.

“Keith and Nick both continue to do really good things on the mat. They are two of the most consistent wrestlers on our roster.”

Wyatt Brandt (126) placed second for the Hawks, while Noah Jones (138) and Carter Schmidt (145) each came in third.
