Doubles, triples and a grand slam. And not a baseball stadium anywhere to be found Saturday on the Qwest Center Omaha grounds for the state high school wrestling finals.

Tyler Sackett was the big bopper. The Omaha Skutt senior, who got a third-period pin for the Class B 130-pound title, is the 14th four-time state champion and the third from the SkyHawks during their record run of 11 consecutive Class B state titles.

Waiting, Sackett said, was the hardest part of his week. “Waiting for the tournament to start, then all the wait for the weigh-ins, for the Parade (of Champions), waiting overall.”

Next in line for four titles is Howells junior Bryan Mejstrik, whose Class D 140 championship was his third.

“I saw that (Sackett) won and it’s a great accomplishment,” Mejstrik said. “I’d like to do that next year.”

Also winning their third titles were Skutt seniors Quintin Cottle (135) and Tyler Kottas (145) and Norfolk Catholic senior Zach Adams (C 119). Skutt had seven champions for the second time in three years.

Repeat state champions were seniors Terrill McKinney of Omaha North (A 125), Austin Carmichael of Columbus (A 145), Nate Stender of Millard South (A 171) and Andy Mink of Ashland-Greenwood (C 215); juniors Alex Bridgeford of Omaha Burke (A 130), Dustin Stodola of Schuyler (B 112), Matt Katusin of Skutt (B 125), Kevin Barrett of Boys Town (B 215) and Michael Klinginsmith of Kearney Catholic (C 152); and sophomore Ronald Coleman of Omaha North (A 215).

The only freshman winner was Tyrell Galloway of Omaha Gross (B 119), whose two older brothers were state champions in Iowa. Skutt junior Zach Cottle claimed his second Class B 103 title in three years after losing to Stodola in the 2007 final.

Those who beat returning champions were Grand Island’s Isaiah Aguliar (112) in Class A; Luis Rosales of Madison (112), Connor Blanco of Mitchell (130) and Klinginsmith in Class C; and Devin Zitek of East Butler (112), Austin Coufal of Howells (125) and Zack Richards of North Platte St. Patrick’s (130) in Class D.

The 80th state meet, which was the third held at the Qwest Center, produced the first girl to medal as a top-six finisher. Omaha North freshman Brittney Taylor won her fifth-place match Saturday, after losing her consolation semifinal earlier in the morning, to finish the tournament with a 4-2 record and the season at 24-12.

Sackett’s 171th career win, a Class B record, was his pin of Schuyler sophomore John Svoboda. Many in the finals crowd of 9,813 gave him a standing ovation.

“I didn’t notice. At least they weren’t booing,” Sackett said. His reference was to the mixed reaction that Skutt’s success generates in the arena.

He was 44-2 this season, undefeated against Nebraska competition. His other seasons produced records of 41-5, 40-3 and 46-2.

“It’s been a great four years. I’ve had great teammates and coaches for four years,” Sackett said. “It took a lot of time and hard work to get this, and it’s good to get it over with.”

Skutt won Class B with a record 256 points, 4½ more than it had in 2007. The SkyHawks’ 11 titles in a row tie Oakland-Craig in boys golf (1979 to 1989) and Kearney in boys track (1994 to 2004) for the longest championship streaks in state history.

Millard South’s fourth Class A title came with four individual champions. The Patriots scored 224 points to 152.5 for runner-up Kearney.

Madison finished six points ahead of defending champion Bennington for the Class C team title. Howells repeated as Class D champion.

Some of the day’s best matches were in the heaviest weights, when half the crowd had left.

Matt Spain of Valentine won the Class B 285-pound title on a 10-6 decision over Hadley Cooksley of Grand Island Northwest, who had pinned his previous 33 opponents this season and hadn’t gone to the third period in any of them.

Nebraska football recruited walk-on Marcus Smith of Crete edged Boys Town senior Chris Leak 3-2 for the Class B 185 title. Leak’s teammate, 215-pounder Kevin Barrett, got his second title and denied Skutt its record eighth champion with a third-period pin of the SkyHawks’ Matt Muschall.

Eric Burenheide kept Howells’ hold on Class D’s 215-pound weight class for a sixth straight year, beating Neligh-Oakdale’s Ricky Lewis 4-3 after a win over him in 2007.
