Grapplers split NCC dual meets

Clear Lake wrestlers split matches in a dual meet of North Central Conference teams Thursday, Dec. 9.   The Lions defeated Iowa Falls-Alden, but were bested by Algona.

CL 51, IF-A 21

A pair of falls and four forfeits by Iowa Falls-Alden in the middle of the match helped to give the Lions a resounding win.  Hayden Rieck and Sam Sestina each pinned their opponents at 160 and 170-pounds respectively to give the Lions a cushion after a back and forth match early on.  Marcus Skidmore had a fall at 132 to open the meet and Carter Perry won a 6-2 decision at 145, making the score 9-9 before Rieck and Sestina’s matches.  

After the forfeits, the Cadets tried to tighten the match with falls at 113 and 120, but Max Currier finished off the assault with a fall on 0:27 at 126.

Algona 52, CL 15

Only three Lions were able to come away with wins in the match against Algona.  Hayden Rieck recorded a fall in 2:19 at 160-pounds, Aaron Richtsmeier pinned his opponent at 285 in 1:15 and Tyler LeFevre recorded an 8-5 decision at 138.
