The Highland Huskies dropped a pair of wrestling duals last night, falling 37-16 to Mediapolis and 60-12 to Wapello. The night was a productive one for Highland senior Carlos Valenzuela. The 12th-ranked wrestler in Class 1A at 132 pounds pinned both of his opponents to improve to 27-1. Huskies junior Luke Guseman added to his state-ranked resume with a 16-3 major decision win at 120 lbs and moved to 15-5.
Lone Tree also lost in duals last night, falling 35-12 to New London; 78-0 to Burlington Notre Dame; and 71-6 to Louisa-Muscatine. The only head-to-head win for the Lions came from sophomore Clemens Swaink, who picked up a pin at 132. Lone Tree and Highland wrestling are next in action tomorrow at the WACO Invitational.
