Freshman Dillon Kifer continued his impressive freshman campaign by winning the 141-pound title at the Tyler Plummer Classic on Saturday in Dickinson.

Kifer, from Little Falls, Minn., finished off his unbeaten day with flare, burying Ryan Martin of Great Falls (Mont.) by technical fall 16-0.

Two other JC wrestlers reached the championship round.

Sean Blumhardt reached the 125 final, but came up just a tick short. The senior from Ellendale went down to the wire with Bryden Lazaro of Dickinson State before falling 5-2.

Michael Nord nearly captured his second straight title at 157 pounds. The Enderlin product advanced to the 165-pound finale, but came up short 12-3 against Minnesota State-Moorhead's Ethan Hinebauch.

As a team the Jimmies finished fifth out of nine teams with a total of 80 points.

Great Falls (140) edged Dickinson State (135.5) for the team title.

Three other Jimmies advanced to placing matches.

Heavyweight Antonio Lopez ended his day with a win. The sophomore from Paramount, Calif., topped David Lopez of Great Falls 5-3 in the third-place match.

At 133, freshman Edward Wilson also had a shot at third, but fell to Dickinson State's Robert Meador, 9-4.

Sam Brown also settled for third. The senior from Colstrip, Mont., couldn't get much, but didn't relent either in a 3-0 loss to the Blue Hawks' Nestor Ruleas.

The Jimmies have their final two home outings of the season on deck. They host the Concordia Cobbers Wednesday night at 7 p.m. before the Jimmie Open kicks off at 9 a.m. Saturday.
