Curtis Strohschein won the heavyweight division, Ty Strohschein captured second at 175 and Loomis Alexander took third at 138 pounds to lead the surging Greybull-Riverside wrestling squad to a ninth-place finish at last weekend’s Lander Invitational.
The tournament attracted 26 varsity boys teams, with the majority being either 3A or 4A. The only 2A teams that topped G-R’s 80 points were Thermopolis, which took seventh with 113, and Kemmerer, eighth with 111.5.
“We wrestled a heck of a tournament,” said Coach Rob Nuttall.
He may not have seen it coming. Sickness has been ravaging his team of late — to the point where G-R entered just six in varsity, three in JV and one girl. “We left a bunch of kids home ... hopefully they start feeling better for the final stretch.”
Gabby Dowling, G-R’s only female competitor, got the most out of her time on the mat, pinning three straight opponents to claim the 135-pound title.
