Antigo Junior Varsity Wrestling at Wisconsin Challenge Series Qualifier in Marshfield

FOR ANTIGO TIMES

The Antigo Junior Varsity wrestling team competed in Marshfield on Saturday, January 11 at the Wisconsin Challenge Series Qualifier. The top 3 place winners at each weight qualify for the finals held in Wausau on the 25^th. Antigo had 11 wrestlers competing, and if the performances by some of our younger wrestlers is any indication, we are going to have varsity success for years to come.

Antigo was led by 120 pounder Seth Beaber, who continued a strong sophomore season by winning all 3 of his matches, including a fall and major decision, on his way to placing first. Beaber started his day with a hard-fought victory over Blake Schilling of Medford. In the semi-finals, Beaber cruised to a 14-5 major decision over Derek Danielson of Wausau West. In the finals, Beaber secured 6 takedowns and a couple of near falls before finishing his opponent, Seth Thongdara of Wausau West, by pinfall at 5:20.

Freshman heavyweight Sawyer Doleshal also found the podium, with a strong performance of his own. Doleshal started his day with a victory over teammate Hunter Cordova. Doleshal then recorded a first period pin over Jose Quilantan of Wisconsin Rapids Lincoln. In the finals, Doleshal scored the first takedown against Saswaen Shawanokasic of Menominee Indian to get on the board first, but then ceded a second period fall.

Also qualifying for the finals in two weeks was Sophomore Hunter Cordova with a third-place finish. After the first-round loss against Doleshal, Hunter was able to defeat teammate Jessip Williams by fall. In the finals, Cordova came back from an early deficit with a reversal and nearfall before finishing his opponent, Jose Quilantan by fall at 1:41.

Just missing advancing was Freshman Robby Hagerty. Matching up with Donavon Vigue of Bonduel, Hagerty conceded an early takedown, as well as a 2^nd period reversal to find himself down 4-0. He was then able to score on a reversal of his own, alone with 3 near fall, to take a 5-4 lead into the third period. After a Vigue reversal to start the period, Hagerty was able to escape, and with the score tied, scored on a takedown to win the match 8-6.

In the semi-finals, Hagerty dropped a 6-3 decision to Blair Kelz of Marshfield. In the third place match, Hagerty lost by fall to Jerry Goselin of Lakeland / Mercer. Hagerty finished in fourth place.

Christopher Mackey used a victory over Ze Yang of Wausau East to finish in 5^th at 113.

Jessip Williams also finished in 5^th with a pair of victories, both pin fall victories over Brady Glysch of Shawano.

Ben Brown started strong with a victory over Allyson Schwietzer of Clintonville / Marion and finished in 6^th.

Lucas Meidl also finished in 6^th place on the strength of 3 pin fall victories over Andrew Olson of Wausau East, Evan Pretsch of Marshfield, and Trevon Drallmeier of Medford.

Also competing on the day for Antigo were Austin Helms, Kyle Kamin, and Xavier Lenzner.
