Saturday our full team (varsity and JV) competed at the Cutler Classic Invitational wrestling tournament in New London. Thankfully snowstorm Charlotte took a different path. It's always nice when we can travel and compete together.

 

As a team we were very up and down Saturday. We pulled a few upsets but were also upset a few times. We are seeing some good improvement at times but still way too many mistakes. We seem to be struggling to find consistency and hit our stride. We wrestle at Two Rivers Tuesday night. After that we will have a weekend off which might be perfect timing for us to regroup and heal up for the home stretch.

 

Top finishers were Grant Englebert and Griffin Slezewski. At 152 Grant earned a first round bye then scored a quick pin in his second match. Grant then faced Hunter Mashl of DePere. Mashl is currently ranked #11 in division #1. Grant earned a first period takedown then gave up a stalling point in the third period but held on for a 2-1 win. In the finals Grant faced Wyler Lubeck of Wisconsin Rapids currently ranked #3 in Division #1. Lubeck earned a takedown right at the end of the first period to go up 2-0 and was able to keep Grant on his heels the rest of the match. Both wrestlers were close to scoring on numerous occasions throughout the match but Lubeck was just a bit better today.

 

At 132 Griffin also earned a first round bye. He was in control of his second before winning by injury default. In his third match he ran into Cade Schmitz of Oshkosh North. Schmitz is currently ranked #3 in division #1 and also won the Oshkosh on the Water tournament. After the loss to Schmitz, Griff bounced back with two wins to earn a third place finish. Griffin has been working extremely hard all season to re-build his endurance after his illness. Several times this season Griffin had been leading matches going into the third period but wasn't able to stay strong to the end. Since Christmas we have made wrestling specific endurance a focus and it was nice to see it pay off today.

 

Tuesdays match at Two Rivers will be another good test. They are lower in numbers than they have been in the recent past but they still have several solid wrestlers. They are lead by two time state champion (junior) Matty Bianchi.
