Clear Lake wrestlers wrapped up regular season competition with dual meets against Lake Mills and Hampton-Dumont-CAL Thursday.  The matches were good preparation for the Sectional Tournament on Saturday, Feb. 5. The Lions will compete at Osage High School.  The field includes: Hampton-Dumont-CAL, Iowa Falls-Alden, Forest City, Garner-Hayfield-Ventura and Osage.

Thursday night Clear Lake fell to H-D-CAL by a score of 60-18 and Lake Mills topped the Lions, 48-26.

“We are continuing to wrestle tough and our effort is still great, but we just need to put a full meet together,” said Clear Lake Coach Evan Johnson after Thursday’s triangular.  “I fully believe that we are getting closer and closer to wrestling our best as a team and hopefully we are able to put it all together this weekend at Sectionals and keep some seasons going.”

Clear Lake’s Max Currier (126) and Tyler LeFevre (132) won both of their matches by fall. 

Dylan Evenson (220) pinned his H-D-CAL opponent in 5:20 to go 1-1 on the night.
