Tigers wrestle at Battle Creek
Wrestlers Compete at Battle Creek Invite
The Osmond wrestlers competed at the Battle Creek Invite on Saturday, Jan. 12. The Tigers scored 18 points and finished in 15th place out of the 18 teams competing. Battle Creek was the team champion followed by Pierce and Elkhorn Valley. Individually the Tigers were led by Alexis Solorzano who finished in 4th place in the 195 lb weight class.
This is always a tough tournament and to be honest we had a pretty rough day. We bumped Alexis up a weight class, which was probably a mistake but he still wrestled well and finished in 4th place. I think that he will do even better this week at conference when he goes back to his normal weight class. Mason lost a close match in his pool that if he could have won would have gotten him into the medal round at 126 lbs. Even though we didn’t do as well as we would have liked I still saw a lot of positives. We just need to get back in the wrestling room, work hard and get ready for the rest of the season.
