Borschel, McDonough boosted Linn-Mar wrestling

Mon - 29 Nov Written by Jim Ecker

Linn-Mar Coach Doug Streicher was one of the happiest guys in Omaha last March for the NCAA wrestling championships.

Jay Borschel and Matt McDonough, two Linn-Mar graduates, won NCAA titles for the University of Iowa that day to help the Hawkeyes claim their third national crown in a row.

Streicher was a proud man. He still is. His alma mater won another national title, and two of his former grapplers helped them do it.

Petersen’s pins propel Lions to a pair of wins

Thu - 16 Dec

DUBUQUE — Being behind one of the top wrestlers in the state has its share of ups and downs.

The down side is that you might never get a shot to show your stuff on the varsity level. The upside is, since you’re behind one of the best, it’s quite possible you’ve got talent of your own and, if given half a chance, you might shine yourself.

Linn-Mar sophomore 103-pounder Ted Petersen (4-1) seized the day and pinned both of his opponents in Dubuque Thursday night (Dec. 16) in a combined time of 5:35.
