KEN HAINES MEMORIAL
DECEMBER 28 - Guilderland traveled to Oswego State for
the annual Ken Haines Memorial Tournament, hosted by Fulton Wrestling.
The Dutchmen improved on their position from last season, finishing
tenth, and placing several in the top 8. Sophomore Michael
Lainhart represented the team as the lone finalist of the two-day
tournament, placing second to Fulton's Thomas Hill. Lainhart
defeated the number one seeded wrestler in the quarter-finals to earn
his spot in the finals.
Senior Jesse Mesick earned the Dutchmen Award for the event, taking
third place and losing only to Fairport's eventual champion, Dakota
Taylor. Mesick battled back to the consolation finals and gutted
out a hard-fought 4-3 win over Fulton's Brennan Roberge that came down
to the final second.
Nick Haluska placed fifth at the event, while co-captain Jesse Futia
placed sixth. Mike McGill, Matt Jones and Josh Loguidice
were the remaining Dutchmen to earn place finishes, all taking eighth.
