M.L. wrestling club fares well at nationals
Meadow Lake’s Northern Pikes wrestling squad took to the mats this weekend in Edmonton at the National Wrestling Championships.
A total of seven athletes, six males and one female competed in both freestyle and Greco-style events at the three-day event from April 13 to 15.
Jacob Ambroziak, who was in the U19 category, came fourth overall in his 125 kg weight class in freestyle, while Skylar Barden took a bronze medal in 56 kg Greco.
“It was definitely a new age group,” Ambroziak said. “I just wrestled to the best of my ability. It was definitely a lot harder, but it was a good experience.”
