Solid Day of Wrestling Action

495

THUNDER BAY – The second day of wrestling at the 2011 CIS wrestling championships concluded with Alberta winning the women’s championship banner, while Concordia came out on top on the men’s side.

Highlights included Gen Haley of Calgary making history as the first female student-athlete to win 5 consecutive gold medals in 5 years. The conclusion of the day – the men’s heavyweight match- was the deciding factor in the men’s championship, as David Zilberman defeated Charles Thoms of UNB to give Concordia a total of 55 to UNB’s 52.

Lakehead’s men’s team finished in 9th place, while the women finished in 4th. Top Thunderwolves were Nicole Plummer (82 kg) and Gaston Tardif (57 kg), who each won silver. Colten Woznow captured the bronze in the 90 kg division, as did Dustin Helwig in the 54 kg.
