The Cats had eight individual place winners, led by senior Zach Sintobin, who claimed the Championship at 195. Sintobin, who is undefeated at 13-0 on the season, had a great match in the finals. Ron Rapp said, “… Zac Sintobin’s finals match was the best I have ever seen him wrestle.”

Also making it to the finals was another senior, 152 pounder Prince Brooks, who wrestled very well in the final, but lost the tough match, to take second.

Two Bobcats came away with third place finishes. Junior Mike LeFay at 160 and freshman Logan Dehner at 99 each won their consolation finals match.

Junior Alex Struble at 113 and sophomore Tom Wurster at 120 earned fourth place.
