The NFV wrestling team returned to the mat Saturday for the Mike Flanagan Tournament in Crestwood.
The TigerHawks finished an impressive fourth with 142.5 points. Cedar Falls (269), Crestwood (236), and Caledonia, Minn. (197.5), finished one, two, three, respectively.
What made the NFV results even more impressive was the fact that the team did not field wrestlers in the final three weights.
