The Antigo Wrestling Team Continued its Successful 2018-2019 Campaign on December 15th, with a Strong 4th Place Finish Out of 17 Teams at the Shawano Holiday Classic.
For Antigo Times
Leading the charge for Antigo were champions Collinn Eldridge at 182 pounds and Ben Stimac at 132 pounds. Collinn looked to improve his current ranking of 8th in Division 1 182 pounds by putting together one of the best tournaments of his life, starting with a shockingly fast 13 second pin. He followed that victory with a 12-3 major decision over Ben Gust of Marshfield, who is currently an honorable mention for state rankings at 220 in Division 1. He followed those matches with an even more impressive championship match, where he pinned the fourth ranked wrestler at 195 in Division 3, Isaac Banker in only 53 seconds. Collinn was the first defeat Banker has encountered this season, and it was a preview for this upcoming Friday, when Bonduel will visit Antigo for a dual meet.
Ben Stimac also compiled a 3-0 record compiling victories via decision, major decision, and technical fall. Ben is currently ranked 11th at 138 pounds in Division 1.
Capturing bronze with third place finishes were Dylan Warax at 138 and Nick Roller at 220. Dylan went 3-1 on the day, with two victories via fall. Nick went 3-1 on the day as well, with two victories via fall. Nick’s only loss was to Jacob Geise, who is currently ranked 2nd in Division 3 at 220 pounds.
Making the podium in 4th was Logan Edwards at 126 pounds. Logan’s two losses on the day were to Gabe Pugh, who is currently ranked 8th in Division 1 at 126 pounds and a close 5-2 decision to Jayson Toellner, who is ranked 12th at 126 in Division 3.
Making his season debut, Brady VandeWeerd was able to overcome an early loss to finish 2-1 on the day and finish 5th.
The Junior Varsity also competed Saturday in Shawano. Antigo had two champions, who pinned their way through the competition. Kyle Kamin and Gideon Sass both went 3-0 in capturing gold. Ben Brown went 2-1 to get Silver.
Up next for Antigo is a home dual with Bonduel this upcoming Friday, December 21st. Antigo and Bonduel matched up in some of the most exciting matches at the most recent Shawano Holiday Classic, and the rematches should be even more exciting. The team invites you to participate in the takedowns for treats and t-shirts promotion, where after every match some type of prize will be given to someone in the crowd for each Red Robin takedown. Junior Varsity action starts at 6:00, with the Varsity to follow at 7:00.
