The Elks won three titles and finished third Feb. 3 in the Southern Lakes Conference Varsity Wrestling Tournament at Delavan-Darien High School.

Coach Ken Reynolds said the Elks have finished either first or second in the SLC in eight of the previous 11 seasons. Elkhorn has finished third three times in those 11 years.

“We wrestled about as well as we could,” Reynolds said. “You can always wrestle better – you always walk away with that feeling. Some boys did some really nice things.”

Grant Truesdale (126 pounds) and Daniel Stilling (132), both juniors, each won their third SLC title. Hunter Hummel (285) won his second in a row.
