The Three Rivers All-Conference wrestling list has been released. Seven Chatfield Gophers make the cut. Travis Bartels’ bunch ties PEM for having the most All-TRC grapplers. The group includes seniors Nathan Goldsmith (152, 160) and Davontae Goldsmith (170, 182), junior Cael Bartels (113), sophomores Cody Guenther (138), Seth Goetzinger (126), and A.J. Karver (220, 285), freshman Grady Schott (182, 195). Bartels (34-10) and Goetzinger (29-9) were Section champions and state participants. Bartels repeats as All-TRC after taking fifth in St. Paul. His 34 wins were the best of any county-affiliated wrestler. Goetzinger earned his third straight All-TRC selection following his second straight state qualification. N-Goldsmith (25-11), D-Goldsmith (21-14), and Karver (26-10) each took third at sections, D-Goldsmith and Karver having each done so twice. Both Goldsmiths repeat as All-TRC (Davontae 2018, Nathan 2017). Nathan grappled out four 20-plus win seasons (2015, 2017, 2018, 2019) in his career, amassing a 70-36 record the past three campaigns. D-Goldsmith went 46-23 the past two years after going 17-32 freshman/sophomores years. Karver has gone from 8-8, to 17-18, to 26-10, record-wise, the past three years. Guenther (13-16) and Schott (16-13) are each early in their wrestling careers. The Gophers will thus return five All-Conference picks next year, two of which are multiple time selections, state qualifiers. Junior Jacob Stephas (160) was A-C Honorable Mention for the Gophers.
LARP gets three All-TRC picks in seniors Dominic Jenkins (145, 152) and Noah Herber (182, 195), junior Ross Herber (120). R-Herber (31-7) and Jenkins (33-11) each repeat as All-TRC. The Herbers each made state, Ross as 120-pound Section champ, Noah (29-8) as 195-pound runner. They took fourth and fifth respectively in St. Paul. R-Herber put together his second straight 30-win season. He’s 63-16 the past two years. Jenkins finishes his career having placed at sections four times (two fifths, fourth, third), compiling a 97-59 record over that span. Sophomore Gable Speltz (126, 132), sophomore Carter Jonsgaard (126, 132), and freshman Tyler Kreidermacher (106) are A-C HM for LARP. Speltz (29-13) made state as 1A’s 132-pound runner-up. He was All-TRC in 2017. Jonsgaard (26-12) and Kreidermacher (20-17) each notched 20-win seasons. FCLMC had no pure A-C picks. Sophomore twin brothers Caden (132) and Cale Anderson (120) were named A-C HM. Caden (23-17) took fourth at sections, Cale (22-20) fifth. Caden was All-TRC last year. Each Anderson brother is over 60 career wins with junior/senior years left.
