Thielke to take part in Junior World Championships

Two-time WIAA state wrestling champion Jesse Thielke of Germantown is part of a team taking part in the Junior World Championships in Ankara, Turkey, Aug. 4 to 9.

Thielke will take part in the 55-kilogram (121 pound) division in the Greco-Roman competition.

Thielke, who will start his junior year at Germantown this fall, has won multiple national titles in folkstyle, freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling. He is viewed in some circles as being the most talented Wisconsin wrestling prospect since national champion and Olympian Ben Askren came out of Arrowhead.
