2009-10 Minnesota High School Wrestling Results
February 5, 2010
Nick Hagar and the South Dakota State wrestling team drew first blood but Wyoming rattled of 22 unanswered points and cruised to a 34-9 victory on senior night in Western Wrestling Conference wrestling at Frost Arena, Friday.
Wyoming improves their record to 9-3 overall and a perfect 4-0 in the WWC, while the Jackrabbits fall to 1-9-1 overall and remain winless in conference action at 0-3.
The Jacks jumped out to an early 3-0 lead on the back of a 3-1 Nick Hager decision over Kasey Garnhart. Hagar used a takedown in the final seconds of the first period and hung on for the two-point victory. The freshman 149 pounder cracks the double-digit win column and improves his record to 10-13 on the year.
In his final home dual of his career, senior Tyler Sorenson picked up a hard-fought 3-2 decision over Alfonso Hernandez. After a scoreless first period, SDSU's most decorated wrestler at the Division I level fought back from a 0-2 deficit on two escapes and a stalling point on Hernandez to pullout the victory. Sorenson boosts his team-leading win total to 22-5 overall and 9-2 in dual action.
Sophomore Dustin Walraven capped the evening with an 8-1 decision over 20-match winner Chase Smith at 141 pounds. Walraven used two takedowns, a 3-point nearfall and an escape to seal the victory, boosting his record to 19-12 on the year.
The Jacks return to action next week at Utah Valley and Northern Colorado in WWC action.
