On Saturday, Jan. 28, the Bulldog wrestling team made a short trip to Rochester Century high school to compete in a 9 team invitational. PEM used a total team effort to capture the team championship by a commanding 38 points. Individual highlights for the Bulldogs included having 5 dominating performances by individual tournament champions Cael Marx (106) winning by major decision in the finals, Nick Miller (113) with a 1st period fall in the finals, Austin Rother (170) getting a last second takedown in the finals to win 6-3, Frank Wingert (182) with a dominating 15-1 major decision in the finals, and Jacob Clark (195) with a first period fall in the finals. In addition, Joe Stucky (126), Dustin Dittrich (160), Riley Wingert (220), and Logan Wingert (285) all placed 2nd on the day. Specific highlights included Joe Stucky wrestling a great match in a losing effort to highly ranked Quinn Youngs of Annandale-Maple Lake, Dustin Dittrich defeating #5 ranked Hayden Strain of Cannon Falls in the semi-finals, and Logan Wingert defeating the #1 seeded wrestler from Riceville, IA in the semi-finals. Another highlight on the day included 8th grader Cooper Hofschulte getting his first varsity action of the season. Hofschulte received a difficult draw having to first wrestle the #2 ranked wrestler in the state of Iowa and then a senior from St. Clair. Despite not winning either of the matches, Hofschulte showed great promise wrestling hard and losing his second match only by a point. According to Coach Marx, “the effort level was very solid from all of the Bulldog wrestlers today. I was very pleased with our pre-match preparation, and our work ethic throughout the matches.”
