TOWANDA — In their first dual meet action of the season Troy went 2-4 at the Flynn Energy Duals Saturday to finish sixth overall.
It’s been a unique winter as Troy’s football season went a few weeks into December, forcing the wrestling team to push back the start of their dual meet season. The non-football players opened the year at the Jarvis Tournament, but the team hasn’t been in action since.
“I was pleased with our overall effort,” said Troy coach Garrett Wesneski. “It was great to see the guys getting excited for their teammates, and into the matches, and battling for each other. I saw some good things, and obviously lots to still work on. It was our first time competing since December 7th, and the first time for guys coming back from football season. I think it will be good to just get rolling with lots of competition now, and building each day to get better.”
Troy opened with a loss to Towanda (59-6), and Commodore Perry (56-6), but finished pool wrestling with a win over SVEC (42-30). In cross-over action Troy fell to eventual champions Berks Catholic (63-9), defeated Muncy (42-15), and fell in a tight one to Sullivan County (36-35).
Garret Parks went undefeated on the day, going 5-0, while Reed Palmer finished 4-2. Logunn Heasley, Austin Carter, and Rylan Breidt all went 3-3, with Marcus Frisbie, and Bridon Putnam finishing 2-4.
Kael Millard finished 1-0, Connor Dibble went 1-5, Wilder Koch finished 0-3, and Keagan Kerr went 0-6.
