A battle between the nation's top-two ranked wrestlers at 165 pounds came down to overtime Sunday.

It was Parkside's Shane Gantz who earned the win to highlight the Rangers' 24-14 victory over McKendree at the Wisconsin Wrestling Showcase at UW-Madison.

The top-ranked Gantz, a redshirt-senior, improved to 16-0 overall when he recorded the takedown in overtime to edge second-ranked Cory Peterson.

In another battle of top-10 wrestlers, Parkside redshirt-sophomore Reese Worachek, ranked fourth, earned a hard-fought 3-1 win over 10th-ranked Josh Davis at 184 pounds.

Also picking up victories were sophomore Matthew Chi (133), 10-5; redshirt-sophomore Cayden Henschel (141), 3-2, to improve to 11-0; redshirt-sophomore Jalen Spuhler (149), by pin in 6:43; redshirt-sophomore Ben Durocher (157, ranked 10th), 2-0; redshirt-sophomore Lloyd Reynolds (285, ranked 12th, 15-0), 5-1.

"(I'm) really proud of this team," Parkside head coach Nick Becker said. "McKendree is a very tough team, and our guys came ready to scrap today. We have a very young team, but the majority of our squad seemed to wrestle like veterans today."
