Henning was a four-time All-Red Rock Conference performer at Fulda High School. He qualified for the Class AA state tournament as a junior and senior. He capped his career by posting a 42-0 record as a senior and winning the state championship. He was 36-2 as a junior and advanced to the state meet. He finished his career with a 129-27 record.
In addition, he was a three-year starter in football. He recorded over 100 tackles in each of his last three seasons, earning All-Little Sioux Conference honors all three seasons.
"Nick is one of the hardest working kids I've seen," Reitmeier said. "He has made himself into a wonderful wrestler. He is extremely strong and quick and will bring a hard nose style to our room."
Meger was a five-year letterwinner at Owatonna High School. He won over 40 matches in each of his last four seasons, compiling a 128-18 record during that time and qualifying for the Class AAA state tournament four times.
After winning a freshman record 42 matches in 2002-03, Meger won a state title as a sophomore, completing a 43-0 season. He placed second at state as a junior and third as a senior. He also helped the Huskies to the 2005-06 Class AAA state championship. In addition, he placed seventh at the All-American Nationals Tournament.
"Al will be a huge boost to our lower weights," Reitmeier said. "He has no weaknesses, great on his feet and excellent on the mat. Al also brings a winning attitude."
The addition of Henning and Meger adds to a recruiting class that Reitmeier considers one of the best in school history. The Vikings previously signed Josh Montgomery of Canton, S.D., Kirk Bunkers of Brookings, S.D., Tyler Copsey of Glenwood, Iowa, Jarred McCarthy of Farmington, Minn., Beau Penk of Litchfield, Minn., Mike Wubbena of Fairmont, Minn., and Charlie Cunningham of Kaycee, Wyo., all of whom signed earlier this spring. Jay Sherer of Columbus, Neb., Kyle Svendsen of Omaha, Neb., Lance Peters of LeRoy, Minn., signed with the Vikings in November.
