Lafayette recently won the St. Joseph’s Tournament of Champions. The Lancers defeated the host Angels 25-12, 25-16 in the championship match. “We’ve had a great start to our season,” Young said. “We’re currently 17-2-1 and have won two good tournaments, but more importantly we’re getting a little better every week.” Lafayette defeated Visitation twice before playing the Angels. Lafayette topped Visitation Academy 25-23, 25-11 and 25-18, 25-15 “We played consistently in three out of our four sets against Visitation,” Young said. “Our first set, we came out a little slow but senior Liz Katz came in and provided a big spark to get us going.” Then came the solid victory over St. Joseph’s, a traditional volleyball power. “We played a great match in the final,” Young said. “St. Joe is a good team and we knew we needed to bring our ‘A’ game to get past them. We’re very proud of the team for performing their best at the end of the tournament after a long day of volleyball.” Several Lancers stood out for Lafayette in the tournament. “It was truly a team effort,” Young said. “We were led in kills by Caitlyn Little (32) and Jordyn Lochmann (29). Layne Witherspoon and Amber Wilt combined for 23 blocks on the day. Allison Risley led the team in digs (42) and provided eight aces. Our back row trio of Madi Hartman, Molly Muschick and Audrey Savacool combined for 70 digs on the day. Alyssa Nelson did a wonderful job running the offense and collected 112 assists and 9 aces for the tournament. Seniors Liz Katz and Paige Borgmeyer stepped in at key moments and provided some big plays.” (Source: Lafayette Lancers) The win marked the fourth time Lafayette has won the Tournament of Champions. “This is a great tournament and over the years, it has featured some of the best teams from St. Louis as well as surrounding areas,” Young said. The Lancers program also has captured six successive state championships from 2011-2016. Young said his team has the potential to reach the state final this fall. “We have great team chemistry and some really nice players,” Young said. “Our road Luke Lilledahl High school boys wrestling CBC sophomore Luke Lilledahl competed in FloWrestling annual Who’s Number One, an event featuring the nation’s top high school wrestlers. The meet was held in Dallas. Lilledahl entered as the No. 2-ranked wrestler at 106 pounds. He left Dallas with the same ranking. No. 1-ranked Anthony Knox, a freshman from Holmdel, New Jersey, scored an 11-3 major decision over Lilledahl in a match that was contested using current NCAA wrestling folkstyle rules. In the 106-pound bout for the top spot, New Jersey’s Knox secured his place as one of the nation’s top talents with a convincing win over Lilledahl, the 2021 Cadet World bronze medalist. Knox relied on two turns in the second period to secure momentum and take command of the top spot at the weight class. Lilledahl has had an eventful summer. He captured gold medals in both freestyle and Greco-Roman style wrestling for the United States team in June at the Cadet Pan Am Championships in Oaxtepec, Mexico. Then, he made the Cadet World Team and took silver for the USA at the event in Budapest, Hungary, in July. Lilledahl also won the Class 4 state 106- pound title in 2021 as a freshman.

That win was definitely a team effort. We finished first through 16th in every event. It took everyone that competed to earn that first-place finish.” Bonnett, who won a pair of championships at the Class 1 state meet in the 200-yard individual medley and the 500 freestyle last year, broke the Parkway West record in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 55.78 seconds.
