Soda Springs Wrestlers Attend Weekend Tournaments

A large contingent of Cardinal wrestlers took a short trip to the west to take part in a pair of tournaments.  The boys participated in the Red Halverson Invitational at Minico High School with some wrestling in the varsity bracket and others in the JV.  The girls team was a short distance away at the Big Mountain Girls Invite at Burley High School.

The girls earned some valuable experience against some top quality opponents at the tournament.  Even though they did not have any placers the girls enjoyed the opportunity to get out on the mat and do some work.  The girls’ results were as follows.  Brynlee Hemmert 100 lbs 1-2, Taylor Hirsbrunner 107 lbs 2-2, Alexandra Sturges 126 lbs 1-2, Laryah Dilworth 132 lbs 0-2, and Abbigail Krupp 165 lbs 2-2.

The Cardinal boys team split at the Red Halverson Invite with four wrestlers participating in the varsity tournament and six wrestling in the JV tournament.  All six JV wrestlers picked up at least a pair of wins with some getting even more.  The JV results are as follows.  106 Simon Krupp 2-2, 120 Jace Garbett 3-2, 138 Kage Johnson 2-2, 144 Troy Krupp 4-2, 165 Kaiden Kimball 2-2, and 175 Carson Cook 3-3.  The varsity brackets had four Cardinals wrestling in them.  Ryker Hemmert at 126 lbs ended the tournament failing to place but grabbing one win finishing with a 1-2 record.  Zayden Garbett at 157 lbs finished in the same way with a record of 1-2 and coming up short of placing.  Cole Garbett at 215 lbs had a very busy weekend wrestling in seven matches finishing with a 5-2 record and placing 5th in a very tough field.  Lastly Elijah Dilworth at 190 lbs has had a great season and he had a good weekend as well.  Dilworth also wrestled in seven matches.  Dilworth went 6-1 in the tournament and placed 3rd overall.
