Northwest has been improving in wrestling year after year. Last year they finished second at the State Wrestling meet and had three finalists, but it wasn ' t until this year that Coach Mike Brungardt had his first state champion, as senior Mike Eberhardt won the 138 lbs. state wrestling title. He was just the second state wrestling champion in Northwest history, the other being Wes Buscher in 1976. Mike finished with a 18-4 record. Four other Vikings qualified for state as well, they were: Ken Bronson, 98 lbs.; Marty Reuss, 105 lbs.; Mike Leaman, 126 lbs.; and Tony Markvicka, 145 lbs. Leaman also made it to the finals of his weight division at the state meet but was defeated in a 10-11 decision. Though the Vikings didn ' t finish as well as last year at the state meet, their overall performance through out the season was consistently success- ful. They placed third or better at all their invitationals, including a third place finish at conference and a second place finish at districts.
