“Both boys and girls teams made a big step forward. The boys were outstanding Saturday winning 120, 126, 132, and 138 pound championship medal,” said Hoisington coach Dan Schmidt. “They placed second in four weights. The guys were outstanding on the day. We look to get where they need to be to make a top 10 finish at state. We were solid Thursday night at Larned. We followed that performance with being outstanding at Ellsworth.”
Runner-up finishes were earned by Landon Beaver (11-7. 113), Teron Kraft (9-12, 145), Logan Philbern (17-6, 220) and Cole Gilliland (17-2, 285).
GIRLS DIVISION – Hoisington’s Aubrey Brown (6-4), Sheena Gocela (8-1), Kiana Granclair (10-5), Paige Schwartz (11-5), Daijah Jones (13-6), Emily Lovett (15-5), Lyrica Orosco (3-2) and Peyton Schneider (5-8) swept all their matches. None of the Cardinals faced their teammates for championship medals.
“Our girls were far-and-away the best team at both events,” Schmidt said. “At Larned, all 10 girls placed in the top four. On Saturday, the girls team did not lose a match. All our girls won their matches by falls. The team brought home seven gold medals.”
