Jacob Schulze placed third in the 126-pound weight class winning three out of four matches. Drew Carey achieved a first place win in the 132-pound weight class, beating out three opponents. Winning the 138-pound weight class was John Waterbury. Spur Ryan earned a fourth place win in the 160-pound class, winning three out of five matches.

In the girls competition, Lillian MacDonald placed second in the 152-pound class. Jermyn said that Lily wrestled great and her last match went into overtime. He also said that Beau Crabb as a freshman did well and that John Thurston had some really close matches with small mistakes.

“Everyone wrestled well this weekend,” said Jermyn.
