Osseo Area Schools ISD 279: Osseo’s Meissner Claims Back-To-Back Wrestling Titles

Press release from the Osseo Area Schools ISD 279:

March 9, 2022

In front of a packed crowd at Xcel Energy Center March 5, Jacob Meissner did what he has done for many years on the wrestling mat: Put on a show.

The Osseo senior had marched his way back to the Class AAA state championship in the 220-pound division for the second straight year, defending his title from 2021.

Last year, due to the pandemic, the state tournament was held at St. Michael-Albertville High School, with few in attendance. This year, the bright lights and a pre-pandemic-like environment of the Xcel Energy Center felt right for Meissner’s final match of his high school career. And the soon-to-be Arizona State wrestler concluded his senior year with a storybook ending, beating Stillwater’s Anthony Tuttle by a 5-3 decision to claim his second straight state championship.
