Wrestling: Warriors Top LARP, Sweep WK Triangular
Wrestling in the TRC authored up another surprise. The first shock was LARP beating #2 Chatfield 39-36 to start the year. At W-K triangular, Caledonia/Houston (3-13) topped LARP (2-0, 8-1) by 36-36 score on criteria. The dual came down to the last weight between ranked wrestlers. Cal/Hou started with pins by Kiptyn Meiners (107), Jace Conway (113), and Aiden Burns (121) for an 18-0 lead. LARP then ripped four pins from Christian Zibrowski (127), Michael Alexander (133), #5 Owen Lange (139), and Carter Bronk (145) for a 24-18 lead. Two decisions were key in the dual. One was Cal’s Karsen Klug topping Brayden Peterson 15-12 in overtime at 152. With LARP taking 160 by fall (Jaxon Johnson) and 189 by forfeit (#6 Zach Plank), it was a key win. Warrior Will Allen (172) had a pin in between. LARP led 36-27 heading to 215, where Cal/Hou’s Anthony Von Arx won by fall. At 285, Warrior Cooper Allen (#5 at 215) beat Chace Drazkowski (#6 at 285) by 5-3 decision. It tied the match 36-36, but Cal/Hou won seven of 13 bouts to get the win. Cal/Hou also topped W-K 54-21.
