Swenson, Balderas, Thompson and Willis all 2-0 on night
JEWELL — South Hamilton dropped a pair of Heart of Iowa Conference wrestling duals here last night.
Prairie City-Monroe (2-20, 2-6 HOIC) controlled the Hawks in the opening dual, 47-30, and Greene County (18-2, 5-1 HOIC) handed South Hamilton a 45-36 setback in the nightcap.
Greene County also snuck by PCM, 42-39.
Only four grapplers for South Hamilton (3-11, 2-3 HOIC) earned victories on the mat. Trevor Thompson (195 pounds) and Colton Willis pinned both of their opponents, while Lane Swenson (170) and Elijah Balderas (182) secured one fall and one win by forfeit.
Alan Gandara (126), Connor Caudle (145) and Brent Greenfield (160) also collected wins by forfeit.
Thompson was pushed by PCM’s Cooper Sloan before the South Hamilton junior got the fall in 5:52. Thompson didn’t need nearly as much time to show Greene County’s Gage Michaelsen the lights in 1:37.
Willis pinned PCM’s Donovan Nickelson in 1:43 and the Rams’ Sawyer Schiltz in 37 seconds.
