The Lights competed at Portland, Ore., for the Clackamus Open, hosted by Clackamus Community College.
Northern was one of 12 teams in attendance at the tourney. The Lights came away with nothing less than a third-place finish.
At 125 pounds, Northern's Abel Valdez finished in second place.
Jessie Schaeffer finished first in the 141-pound weight class.
Northern's Tamien Labuff placed first at 149 pounds, while Lights' Lyle Cronk was third in the same weight class.
At 165 pounds, it was Chris Hayes taking first place, while Kyle Fisher wrestled to a second-place finish at 165 pounds.
Mark Lane competed at 174 pounds, and came away in first place, while Emmet Willson finished in third place at 174 pounds.
