Wrestlers Compete at Clearwater Invite

     The Osmond Wrestlers competed at the Clearwater/Orchard Invite on Friday, Feb. 2.  The Tigers scored 31 points and finished in 12^th place out of the 15 teams competing.  Burwell was the team champion followed by Elkhorn Valley and Clearwater/Orchard.  Individually the Tigers were led by Alexander Heiman, who placed 2^nd at 126 lbs and Alexis Solorzano, who placed 4^th at 195 lbs.  Colton Beacom went 1-2 and did not place and Zach Boyle went 0-2 and did not place.

      Overall, I thought that we wrestled well at times but also made several mistakes that cost of some key matches.  We finished in 12^th place in the team race but were hoping for a little higher finish Alexander had an outstanding meet, winning his first three matches all by pin.  In the finals Alex again wrestled well but lost a close 15-14 decision to finish in second place.  Alexis also wrestled well, winning his first match by pin before losing in the semi-finals to the eventual champion from Fullerton.  Alexis came back to win his next match which put him into the consolation finals where he lost to a wrestler from Burwell.  Colton Beacom won his first match by pin before losing his next two matches to be eliminated.  Zach Boyle wrestled well but lost his first match to the returning state champion from Burwell.  Zach then received a bye before losing his next match and being eliminated.

     Next action for the Tigers will be the District Meet held in Oakland on Friday, Feb. 9^th.  Wrestling begins at 4:00.
