Lewiston-Altura/Rushford-Peterson wrestling continued its foray into the recent world of undefeatedness via a quadrangular sweep at GMLOS which also included Caledonia/Houston and Westfield. Tim Tekautz and Darrin Hegland’s group has just one ranked wrestler (#9 at 107 Christian Zibrowski), but they are physically stacked enough up and down the line-up that no team has beat them. Caledonia/Houston took a swing in the quad’s opening dual. LARP never trailed until Anthony VanArx pinned Avery Kammerer (215) to make it 33-29 Warriors. It was the last of three straight wins for Cal/Hou, annulling a 29-18 deficit after 160. But at heavyweight, Jaden Perez used his size to pin up-a-weight Logan Kinstler, and the Screamin’ Eagles had the win, 35-33. C-Zibrowski (107), Owen Lange (121), Josh Happel (127), and Jordan Zibrowski (139) also had pins for LARP. Camdyn Anderson-Ingram (160) won a 16-1 tech fall. Braxton Lange (133), #2 in AA Owen Denstad (145), and Cooper Allen (172) also had pins for the Warriors. Cal/Hou won the dual’s three decision matches. Aiden Burns (114) topped Jaxson Johnson 7-2, #5 in AA Isaac Blocker (152) topped Carter Cady 8-2, and Aden Kulas (189) topped Zach Plank 11-8. LARP won despite winning just six of the 13 matches. They then dispatched with Westfield 52-12. C-Zibrowski (107), Happel (127), Colten Jenkins (133), Titan Tekautz (145), Cady (152), Anderson-Ingram (160), and Jonah Bunke (172) had pins. Lange (121 > 9-1 major), Johnson (114 > 6-4 decision), and Plank (189 > 9-3 decision) won full length matches. Perez (285) continued his adventure-filled night by losing late by 8-7 decision. LARP then exchanged pins early with GMLOS but won five of the final seven weights for a 42-30 victory. C-Zibrowski (107), Lange (121), J-Zibrowski (139), Cady (152), and Plank (189) won by fall, Anderson-Ingram (160) by forfeit. Tekautz (145) topped Dalton Pischke by 6-3 decision. Perez (285), in his third dramatic match, won 3-2 over Colten Gardner. GMLOS got pins from Parker Armagost (114), Cael Smith (127), Teague Alden (133), Braxten Wiste (172), and Drake Payne (215). All their wins were falls. LARP’s 3-0 wrestlers for the dual were C-Zibrowski (three pins), Lange, and Anderson-Ingram. LARP improved to 2-0 in the TRC, 10-0 overall. The win over Caledonia/Houston was their fourth by single-digits. Cal/Hou topped GMLOS 45-22. The Bulldogs led 12-10 after 127. The Warriors won the next four to lead 33-12. VanGundy (107), Lange (133), Tanner Ginther (139), #2 in AA Denstad (145), and Kinstler (215) won by fall. Burns (114) won a 9-0 major. Blocker (#5 at 152 in AA) won a 15-1 tech fall. Cooper Allen (172) won a 9-3 decision over Ayden Stier, Aden Kulas (189) a 7-2 decision over Drake Payne. GMLOS’ wins were Jaylen Renfro (121) and Smith (127) by fall, Gardner (285) by forfeit, and Wiste (160) by 8-0 decision over Will Allen. The Warriors did not wrestle Westfield. GMLOS’ lone win at the quad was over the Razorbacks 45-27. Westfield led early 18-17. GMLOS then won five of the final seven weights for the victory. Armagost (114), Smith (127), Pischke (145), Wiste (160), Stier (172), and Gardner (285) won by fall. Alden (133) won a 16-0 tech fall. Zac Gehling (152) won an 8-0 major.
