CASPER – The Southeast Cyclones came away with two fourth-place wrestlers and a sixth-place wrestler at the state tournament in Casper over the weekend.
“Any time you can go up there and get kids medals it’s good,” coach Matt Bullington said. “Everybody wrestled right about where we thought they would.”
At 145 pounds, Chase Lovercheck took fourth. He rattled off two wins to open the weekend. His first win came by a 17-2 technical fall and second was a win via decision, 6-5. In the semi-finals, Lovercheck lost by a 17-9 major decision to Big Piney’s Kaden Kranendonk.
Lovercheck was dropped to the consolation semi-finals, where he picked up a win via major decision, 15-4, over Glenrock’s Skyler Ford. In the third-place match, Lovercheck went the distance, but lost via decision, 7-4, to Cokeville’s Antheny Peterson.
“Chase ran into pretty tough kids right at the end,” Bullington said. “He ran into a kid who we didn’t have answers for when he was on his feet.”
Hunter Woodruff (285) took the same path to his fourth-place finish as Lovercheck. Woodruff had a first-round bye and won via fall in the second period in the quarterfinals. Glenrock’s Jadon Williams pinned Woodruff in the second round of their semi-finals match, sending the Cyclone to the lower bracket.
Woodruff pinned Glenrock’s Elias Orozco in the second period of consolation semi-finals to advance to the third-place match. In his final match of the season, Woodruff was pinned in the first period by Lovell’s Jaret Collins.
