A big opportunity lies ahead for Chambersburg wrestlers Karl Shindledecker and Tate Nichter. They take aim this weekend at not only continuing their push to return to the state podium, but to replace forgettable memories with new ones on the mats of Spring Grove Area High School.
Last season, Shindledecker was a sophomore fresh off winning a bronze medal at the PIAA wrestling championships, and Nichter was a sixth-place state finisher taking aim at the whole prize as a junior. Those results -- and both wrestlers’ expectations -- made it all the more stunning when neither Shindledecker nor Nichter made it out of the District 3 championship round.
