Lake City making a difference on and off the mat

The Tigers recently went up to pack meals for Feed My Starving Children, a nonprofit that provides meals for malnourished children across the globe.

EAGAN — After a tough weekend on the mat and with an open date on the schedule, Lake City wrestling coach Doug Vaith knew it was the perfect day for the Tigers’ wrestling program to give back.

It ended up being a day many of the Tigers grapplers won’t soon forget.

On Monday, all 37 wrestlers plus the Lake City coaching staff bused up to Eagan to volunteer at Feed My Starving Children, a nonprofit organization that works with other organizations and ministries across the globe to end world hunger. In 2022, Feed My Starving Children was able to provide 1,237,581 children a daily meal for a year.

More than anything, family has shaped Doug Vaith's coaching career and, in turn, has shaped the path of the Lake City wrestling program.

As first-generation wrestlers, the Vaith family would soon put their stamp on Minnesota wrestling.

"My oldest brother played basketball, but my second oldest brother – Paul, who coaches in Hastings – got going in wrestling and four of my five brothers got into it," Vaith said. "We wrestled for Blooming Prairie; three of us ended up being state qualifiers. I started wrestling in fourth grade and was a state qualifier in 1981."

Although not wrestling people, Vaith's parents supported their sons' passion.
