RENO – This time, Nick Schlager didn't have to take a backseat to anyone.
Schlager, a third-place finisher at the state wrestling tournament two years ago and second last season, turned in a gold medal performance during the Asics Sierra Nevada Classic by sweeping through the 135-pound weight class at the Reno Livestock Events Center. And the Carson High senior left no doubt as to the outcome when he pinned top-seeded Mikey Rodriguez of Hillsboro, Ore., in the finals on Wednesday night.
