Wernimont, upping his season record to 15-0 and closing within three wins of 100 for his career, registered two major decisions and a fall en route to his championship. He closed his day with a resounding 10-1 win over Matt Collum of Missouri Baptist. Hanson turned in a fall and a major decision on his road to the championship before using a late takedown to upend Burkle.
The Knights, with 175 points, edged runner-up Coe by six for first. Senior 141-pounder Zach McKray of Iowa City and freshman 184-pounder Ben Scott of Adel added runner-up efforts for head coach Jim Miller's squad, while junior Mark Kist of Eagle Grove (125), junior Matt Kelly of Dubuque (133), senior Craig Kreman of Tipton (174), and freshman Byron Tate of Clinton (197) all claimed consolation championships.
The Knights resume action with their 36th annual Dick Walker Invitational Saturday, Dec. 13. Matches begin at 9 a.m. inside Levick Arena and the Center Court at the Wartburg-Waverly Sports and Wellness Center.
