ACGC Grapplers Finish Tenth of Twenty Teams at "The Charger"

One of the largest regular season wrestling events in which the ACGC wrestling squad participates is none other than its own meet--known simply as "The Charger." Twenty teams from southwest Iowa converged on ACGC High School on Saturday to compete in the final regular season tournament before next Saturday's sectional tourney at Oakland.

Eight Chargers placed in Saturday's event, headed by Tegan Slaybaugh's runner up finish at 113 pounds. The Charger sophomore drew a first round bye before consecutive wins in the quarterfinals and semifinals. In the title match he lost a 10-3 decision to Kolton Monson of Ogden.

Other Chargers who earned places included Gavin Sloss at 120 (5th place), Cayden Jensen at 152 (4th), Dawson Muller at 160 (8th), Bryce Rochholtz at 182 (6th), Cooper Tunick at 195 (7th), Michael Fuller at 220 (6th) and Payton Jacobe at 285 (7th).

Greene County of Jefferson won the team title with 186 points, while ACGC finished in the middle at tenth place with 90 points.

Post regular season competition is next up for the Chargers, as the team will participate in one of sixteen class 1A sectional tournaments this Saturday. The action at Oakland is scheduled to begin at noon.
