Notice the name of Waseca School Board member Mike Gehloff and current Waseca Varsity Wrestling Coach Brad Lechner in this article from 25 years ago!
As a rule, a high school wrestling team that loses eight athletes to graduation faces a rebuilding year.
Time will tell for sure, but the 1984-85 Waseca Bluejays just might be an exception to the rule. The Bluejays, who went 9-3-1 last year while winning the South Central Conference dual-meet title, saw eight seniors graduate last spring -- or two thirds of the starting lineup.
The returning cast, however, gives reason for optimism.
The returning letter winners include senior Brad Lechner, who last year went 26-4 while placing fourth in the Class AA State Tournament. Mike Gehloff, 20-4 as a freshman, also returns, as do seniors James Hayes and Jon Reger. Last year's B-Squad, by the way, compiled a 16-2-2 record.
