Service's Rilen Skieens captured the title of Most Outstanding Wrestler and Palmer won a close three-team race for the team title Saturday at the Lancer Smith Invitational at Palmer High.

Skieens won the 160-pound title in the 37-team tournament, one of the biggest and most competitive of the season. The meet included teams from both Class 4A and Class 1-2-3A, something that doesn't happen often because the two seasons don't entirely overlap. The 4A season is just beginning and the 1-2-3A season is nearing its conclusion.

Less than nine points separated the top three teams. Palmer claimed the championship with 159.5 points to beat South by three points and Colony by 8.5. Valdez was the top 1-2-3A team, placing sixth with 128 points.
