On Saturday the Switzerland County Middle School wrestling team traveled to Eastern Pekin to participate in the Southern Indiana Wrestling Conference (SIWC) championships.
It proved to be a good day for the Pacers, as Switzerland County had two podium placers – Ryan Hart and Cody Wallace.
Hart went 2-1 on the day, losing by pin fall in the second period to Southern Indiana Catholic. Wallace earned a sixth place finish going 3-3 on the day.
“These guys wrestled their hearts out today and should be very proud,” Coach Mark Jackson said. “Dathan Brown, Cole Riley and Tearra Steele all went 1-2 on the day, and Brendan Otter went 0-2.”
This was the middle school’s last meet of the year.
“Numbers-wise it will show we had a rough year, but heart wise we were undefeated,” Coach Jackson said. “You’re not gonna be able to compete team-wise when your a group of eight or nine taking on schools with 20 plus kids.”
