The Mid-Prairie Golden Hawk boys wrestling team takes the next step on the River Valley Conference schedule Thursday night when they travel to Iowa City Regina for a River Valley Conference triangular against Monticello and the home Regals. The Hawks were last in duel action a week ago when they beat Dyersville-Beckman but fell to Tipton and West Branch in an RVC quad at Tipton. The Hawks were led by senior Owen Trimpe at 170lbs who scored points in each of the three duals. Mid-Prairie was in tournament action over the weekend at New London where they finished as team runners-up with Mose Yoder at 120lbs and Landry Gingerich at 145 winning titles. Trimpe’s 6-0 record at 170 leads the Hawks overall with sophomore Mason Howe at 132 and senior Terry Bordenave at 220lbs both with five wins each.

Monticello is 3-0 on the duel season with wins over Anamosa, Durant and Camanche. Iowa City Regina is 2-1 with wins over Bellevue and Cascade and a loss to West Liberty. The Regals are led by 8-0 senior Christopher Waikel at 195lbs and junior Holden Berg at 126, sophomore Will Aitchison at 152 and junior Ian Udell at 195 all with six wins. Last season at this event, the Hawks were beaten 40-39 by Monticello and 63-27 by the Regals. Action starts tonight at 5:30 at Regina High School.
