Posted


Olivia Hofrichter and Jayson Arrowood continued their hot start to the season at the 26 team
Hodag scramble.


Competing at 165 pounds, Olivia Hofrichter need less than 4 minutes of mat time to defeat her
opponents and take first place. In her first match, Hofrichter faced Cadence Williams of Ashland.
Hofrichter needed only 29 seconds to lock up an overhook and toss Williams to the mat, earning
the quick victory by pinfall.
In her second match, Hofrichter competed against Aeryona Cronin of Wautoma. Hofrichter
would once again be in total control, finishing a single leg for the initial takedown and using a
half nelson to take a 4-1 lead in the first period. In the second period, Hofrichter only needed 19
seconds to snap Cronin to the ground, and then used an armbar to turn Cronin to her back,
earning the pinfall at 2:58.
In her final match of the day, Hofrichter needed only 16 seconds for the initial takedown, before
using a turn to get 3 nearfall points and take a 5-0 lead 50 seconds into the match. Another turn
for Hofrichter led to a pinfall victory at the 52 second mark.
Also putting in a very solid day of wrestling was Jayson Arrowood. In his first match, Arrowood
faced off with Evan Hintz of Rosholt. Arrowood would waste little time, needing only 16
seconds to secure a double leg for the initial takedown. Arrowood would then lock up an
Oklahoma, turning Hintz to his back, and earning the pinfall victory in only 39 seconds.
Arrowood would also start strong in his second match against Hudson Hilgart of Chequamegon,
needing only 19 seconds to earn the initial takedown. Arrowood would then use strong riding on
top, not allowing Hilgart any room to escape, and eventually turned and pinned his opponent,
picking up the victory at the 1:43 mark.
In the quarterfinals, Arrowood would have another dominant match, this time against Preston
Schuelke of Merril. Arrowood would take a 7-0 lead after the first period on the strength of an
early takedown, and then separate two and three-point near falls.
After Arrowood chose to start on bottom in the second period, he quickly earned an escape,
another takedown, and another turn to up his lead to 13-0. Arrowood would turn Schuelke to his
back once more, leading to a pinfall victory for the Antigo wrestler at 3:55.
In the semifinals, Arrowood competed with Laken Villeverde of Ashland. Arrowood would once
again start strong, needing only 28 seconds to capture a single leg for the initial takedown.
Arrowood would then lock up another Oklahoma, leading to the pinfall victory at the 80 second
mark.
Arrowood’s four victories on the day led to a championship match against Andres Sanchez of
Wittenberg-Birnamwood, the 6 th ranked wrestler in the state.

Arrowood would continue his streak of starting fast, using a single leg for the initial takedown
early in the match. Sanchez would be able to earn a reversal to tie the match about 30 seconds
later. Sanchez would then be able to counter a reversal attempt with a step over, before tossing in
a leg and securing the pinfall victory at 1:28. With the victory, Sanchez improved to 20-0 on the
season. Arrowood’s great day of wrestling increased his record to 17-3 on the season.
Nolan Kielcheski was able to finish in sixth place on the day. Kielcheski would need only 74
seconds to defeat his first opponent, Derek Pisca of Phillips. Kielcheski would use a Russian tie
to get to a body lock for the initial takedown, and then use a cradle to pin his opponent.
Kielcheski would face Braeden Groshek of Wittenberg-Birnamwood in the next round.
Kielcheski would score first, dragging Groshek to the mat with a Russian tie. The round would
end with a 2-0 Kielcheski lead.
In the second round, Groshek would start on bottom, and Kielcheski would use a cradle to earn 3
nearfall points, increasing his lead to 5. Later in the round, Kielcheski would lock up another
cradle, this time earning the victory by pinfall at 3:42.
Kielcheski would next face Dominic Caylor of Oconto. Caylor would take a 4-2 lead into the
second period on the strength of a pair of takedowns. Kielcheski would earn 2 escapes in the
second period against a Caylor takedown leading to a 6-4 lead for the Oconto wrestler.
In the third period, Caylor got an escape, and Kielcheski earned a takedown to cut the lead to 7-

  1. Kielcheski allowed Caylor to escape in hopes of getting an equalizing takedown as the match
    ended, but Caylor was able to defend and escape with an 8-6 victory.
    Kielcheski would compete with Connor Kaseno of Ashland in the next round. Kaseno was able
    to counter a throw attempt to earn the first takedown. Kielcheski would earn the escape, and then
    snap Kaseno to the ground, earning the Antigo wrestler a takedown. During the takedown,
    Kielcheski locked up a cradle and earned a pair of nearfall points. A late Kaseno escape led to a
    5-2 Antigo lead at the end of the first period.
    To start the second period, Kaseno made the mistake of going bottom against Kielcheski, and
    Kielcheski was able to lock up a pair of cradles for 2 and 3-near fall points respectively while
    riding out on top the entire period.
    In the third period, Kielcheski earned a reversal and another pair of nearfall points off of a quick
    switch attempt. Kielcheski would walk away with the 14-4 major decision victory.
    In the fifth-place match, Ethan Upson of Phillips would use a pair of takedowns, a reversal, and
    an escape to take a 7-0 victory. Kielcheski was able to finish an impressive 6 th place on the day.
    First year wrestler Johanan Taylor showed off some amazing athleticism in improving his season
    record on varsity to 7-3 with 4 victories against only 1 defeat, finishing in 9 th place.

Taylor’s day started with a match against Shayden Hylleberg of Rhinelander. After a scoreless
first period, Taylor was able to execute a sit back technique from the bottom, and pull his
opponent over the top, earning the pinfall victory 15 seconds into the second round.
In his second match, Taylor faced Blake Younker of Tomahawk. Taylor was able to score the
first takedown, and an escape by Younker led to a 2-1 Antigo lead after 1.
In the second period, Younker would choose to start on bottom, earned a reversal, and then
picked up the pinfall victory at 2:39.
Taylor would face Joshua Nutt of Phillips next. Taylor was able to use two first period takedown
to set up a cradle, earning the fall at 1:38.
In his fourth match, Taylor needed only 20 seconds to take Brayen Boivin of Shawno down to
the mat. Taylor would then only need an additional 30 seconds to lock up the victory by pinfall.
In his final match of the day, Taylor would make short work of Mason Chell of Northwestern.
Taylor would snap Chell down to a whipover, earning the victory by pinfall in only 31 seconds.
The four victories on the day led to a 9 th place finish for Johanan Taylor.
Freshman Jack Sundermeyer finished in 11 th on the day. After a first round loss to eventual
champion Drew Hansen of Gladstone, the young Antigo wrestler faced Eddie Alloway of
Crandon. Sundermeyer would earn the takedown in only 9 seconds, and then used a chindrop to
earn the pinfall victory at the 28 second mark.
In his third match, Sundermeyer faced Noah Siegmann of Chequamegon. Sundermeyer would
earn a late first period takedown to take a 2-0 lead into the second period. In the second period,
Sundermeyer would earn a quick reversal and pin, earning the victory only 9 seconds into the
second round.
After dropping a match to Jason McMillan of Phillips, Sundermeyer faced Gage Steltenpohl of
Wautoma. Sundermeyer would score first with a snapdown and go behind. A Steltenpohl
reversal and Sundermeyer escape led to a 3-2 lead for Antigo after the first period.
The only scoring in the second period was an escape by Steltenpohl, knotting the match up at 3
to enter the final period.
In the final period, Sundermeyer would score first with an escape to take a 4-3 lead.
