PORTLAND — Noel Hygelund wasn’t simply wrestling for himself.
The Canby junior felt it was his duty to give nothing less than his best in his final match at the Class 6A state championships, especially because senior teammate Keith Nichols couldn’t compete after coming down with chickenpox just days before the regional tournament.
