Seven Mahomet-Seymour wrestlers registered pins on Tuesday (Dec. 13) as the Bulldogs opened their home wrestling schedule with a 68-12 triumph over Clinton.
The fastest varsity pin was produced by Camden Heinold at 132 pounds in 1 minute and 26 seconds.
The other Bulldog pinners were Justus Vrona (120 pounds), Reese Wilson (126 pounds), Nick Demos (160 pounds), Mateo Casillas (195 pounds), Zach Hammond (220 pounds), and Camden Harms (285 pounds).
Casillas, Harms, and Cale Hillard (170 pounds) share the team-lead in pins with nine.
Brennan Houser captured a 23-8 technical fall win, his team-leading fifth of the season. Gage Decker earned an 8-4 victory at 152 pounds.
Picking up forfeit wins for M-S were Lukas Alstetter (106 pounds), Caden Hatton (113 pounds), and Kaleb Roberts (145 pounds).
The Bulldogs were triumphant in one of the three girls’ matches. M-S’ Kalista Granadino recorded a pin at 120 pounds in 4 minutes and 37 seconds.
Three junior varsity bouts were also contested and two Bulldogs recorded pins in less than a minute: Preston Sriver (57 seconds at 120 pounds) and Camden Snodsmith (33 seconds at 152 pounds).
In a pre-match ceremony, the M-S wrestling program was recognized for reaching the 1,000-win mark in dual meets, a feat which occurred on Saturday (Dec. 10). Dozens of former Bulldog wrestlers were in attendance along with former coaches, who were also recognized.
M-S (10-1) returns to action on Saturday (Dec. 17) at the Chatham Glenwood Super Quad Duals.
