Wilkinson, Arehart Medal For Warriors At Sargent Invite

Cameron Wilkinson and Jayden Arehart earned medals on Friday at the Sargent Invitation.

Wilkinson was never on the mat longer than 64 seconds as he quickly won the 106-pound division. He pinned his first two opponents in 50 seconds before pinning JD Meeks in 1:04 to capture first.

At 152 pounds, Arehart used a 7-0 decision over Ryan Lauby of Overton to finish in third place. The sophomore's only loss of the day was to Bode Jensen of Burwell in a 12-5 decision. Arehart had two pins Friday, incuding a 3:07 win over Ben Beard of North Central and a 40-second pin of Tyler Wolfe of Broken Bown. 

Kaleb Pofahl nearly wrestled back for a medal. He pinned Kaden Benson of Cambridge in the first-round at 145 pounds before losing back-to-back matches against Seth Simants of Stapleton and Ty Richardson of Ainsworth. 

The Warriors will be back in action Saturday, Dec. 17, at the South Sioux City Invite.
