Nolze's Third Place Leads Cyclones At West Holt Invite

Clearwater-Orchard's wrestlers hit the road to Atkinson on Saturday for one of their toughest invites of the year. 

The Cyclones still managed to come away with three medals on the day, led by a third-place finish by Donaven Nolze. The 220-pounder took home the bronze thanks in part to his pin on West-Point Beemer's Gary Walker. 

Codey Snider added a fourth-place finish at 170 pounds, as did Eli Thiele at 120 pounds.
