The Sequoit wrestling team has been rolling over the competition over this season, even keeping up with state powerhouses like Marian Central.

Junior Niall Schoenfelder is a standout wrestler for the team this year. It’s no surprise considering wrestling runs in his veins. His older brother, Patrick Schoenfelder, has previously won a state title for the Sequoits.

N. Schoenfelder is a serious competitor for state along with many of his teammates and plans on letting nothing get between him and bringing another state title home to the Schoenfelder household.
