Today’s quarterfinal matchup didn’t end the way Ithaca nor Nolan Waldner would have liked it to, as Nolan fell to a VERY tough Fennimore wrestler. However, Nolan moves into the consolation (wrestle back) round. The round in which Nolan is now involved will begin at 2:45 this afternoon as he faces Troy Duellman from Gilman in Bout #3129. The students of Ithaca fully supported Mr. Waldner from school, as we had 3 separate watch areas for High, Middle, and Elementary school students to cheer on Nolan.
