Last week, Coach Gehres took twelve MUS wrestlers to Chattanooga to compete in the Division II State Individual Wrestling Tournament. Though the Owls did not win any individual state championships, several wrestlers medaled and preformed very well.
MUS had three wrestlers place in the top-six in their weight class. Senior Zach Gordon, one of the Owls' best wrestlers in recent history, finished third by winning three of his four matches in the 189-pound division, making him a three-time medalist during his career.
Senior Miles DeBardeleben also had an outstanding tournament as he won four of his six matches, claiming fourth overall in the 171-pound class.
And senior Ben Stallworth also performed well as he finished sixth in the 215-pound division, winning three matches.
The Owls had several other wrestlers win matches but not medal, including senior Ian Carruthers (285), junior Sam Goldstein (145), and sophomores Mason Gudelsky (112), Barret Folk (125), and William Alexander (140).
Other MUS wrestlers participating included eighth-grader Will Rasch (103), sophomore Andrew Maroda (130), senior Paul Kennedy (152), and junior Andrew Amos (160).
Congratulations to these wrestlers, the rest of the varsity team, and Coach Gehres on a successful 2006-07 season.
