Wrestling roundup: Willmar sweeps two more CLC matches
Feb. 9—WILLMAR — The Willmar wrestling team wrapped up its regular season Thursday by sweeping a pair of Central Lakes Conference opponents, Alexandria and Sauk Rapids.
Willmar beat Alexandria 59-3 and Sauk Rapids 78-3 on Youth Night at the Big Red Gym.
The victories mean Willmar has run its winning streak in the conference to 82 matches and clinched its 10th straight CLC championship.
"It's pretty neat," Willmar head coach Ed Oehlers said. "We don't focus too much on that (conference) championship. But I brought it up ahead of time tonight.
"We all know we have bigger aspirations going into next week."
Ivan Mares recorded his 100th career victory, winning by forfeit over Sauk Rapids. He also beat Alex's Mason McGrane, who came into the 132-pound match with one loss, 10-3.
And, Braeden Erickson earned a 5-0 victory over Alex's Kelly Johnson at 170. It was Erickson's 18th birthday. He also recorded a forfeit win against Sauk Rapids.
Willmar now prepares for the Section 8AAA playoffs. Team seeding takes place Friday. Willmar anticipates a No. 2 seed with Bemidji the likely No. 1. If that happens, Willmar would have a home quarterfinal match at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Big Red Gym.
The semifinals and final are next Friday, Feb. 17 in Brainerd.
