Saturday, the Mid-Prairie Golden Hawk wrestling team hosted the annual Colton Allen Memorial Invitational at Tim Grady Gymnasium in Wellman. The Golden Hawks finished fifth of six competing teams with 91 points. Alburnett won the team title with 175 points. Mid-Prairie had two champion wrestlers on the day with Cael Garvey going 4-0 at 195lbs and Terry Bordenave 3-0 at 220lbs. Garvey’s title win was a fall in one minute over Taite Peach of Iowa Valley. Bordenave’s championship match win was also a fall in three minutes over Garrett Hoyt of Iowa Valley. This week, Mid-Prairie head coach Justin Garvey talked about his two champions “Terry Bordenave wrestled a really great tournament. He’s athletic, he’s fast and strong. He stayed in really good position and got it done all day long. Really happy for him and his performance. Cael Gavey, had another good day. Stayed in good position, ended up with four pins on the day. He’s progressing back in there after the injury and it’s good to see him back down at 195lbs.”
Other top finishes for the Hawks included Mose Yoder at runner-up at 113lbs, Lincoln Wolf runner-up at 132lbs, Jarron Thomas runner-up at 182lbs, and Burke Berry runner-up at 285lbs. Tucker Miller at 126lbs, Noah Guthmiller at 132lbs, Madison Kelly at 145lbs, Kaden Meader at 170lbs, and Quinn Callahan at 195lbs all finished third. Mid-Prairie is next in action Thursday when they travel to Fort Madison to meet Mount Pleasant and the Bloodhounds in a triangular.
