G-R claims two titles at conference tournament

While there will be some who try their luck at state, the middle school wrestling season ended last weekend in Thermopolis for members of the Greybull-Riverside wrestling team.
Thirteen of its grapplers competed, and of those 13, five placed with all the breakthroughs coming in the girls and B divisions.  None of G-R’s five A division wrestlers (Marshall Brown, Kenneth McClure, Riley Wiggins, Tell Edeler and Levi Cochrane) placed.
Emma Williams and Jaxon Womack were the team’s only individual champions, with Williams taking the top spot in the 138-pound girls division and Womack reigning in the 120-pound B division. Newcomers to the sport, they were successful, Coach Mark Sanford said, because “they came in, were coachable, listened, did what we asked of them, never stopped battling and kept improving.”
