Green River Wrestlers compete at Ron Thon

The Green River Boys Varsity and Junior Varsity and the Girls Varsity Wrestling teams competed this past weekend in the Ron Thon Memorial Wrestling Tournament in Riverton along with a large contingent of more than 30 other teams, all from Wyoming. The two-day event included Boys Varsity and JV and Girls Varsity.

The Boys Varsity took third and the Junior Varsity finished in first. The girls team, missing one of their veteran wrestlers, finished in 21st place. 

For the girls, Brianna Uhrig led the way with five wins, taking fourth place, with Bianca Maez finishing fifth with three wins. 

The varsity boys were led by Spencer Wright who finished second and recorded four wins, Nick Weipert with five wins taking third, Axel Mckinnon with four wins placing third, Tavin Vandetti with four wins placing fourth, Bentley Johnson with three wins and a bye taking fifth, Kaleb Gunter with four wins and an unknown place, and James Herwaldt with four wins placing fourth.

The JV boys took first place with three wrestlers with four wins - Trevor Johnson, Logan Bauer and Jakob Lloyd. Four wrestlers had five wins - Brayden McMullan, Zach Dalton, Timothy Robinson and Kaleb Clark, who was undefeated at 5-0, taking the championship in the 190 pound weight class. Bauers was second at 175 pounds, with Dalton also placing second at 150 pounds. All these wrestlers helped lead the way for Green River to take the team title.

After the Ron Thon, Head Wrestling Coach Josh Wisniewski commented that "the meet was a positive experience for us. We observed improvement and identified some areas for further development." 

He went on to say that "as a team, we are progressing toward our goal of reaching our peak performance for the postseason. Our focus remains on continuous improvement, both on and off the mat."

Wisniewski continued: "At this stage of the season, our focus is on wrestling duals until the postseason. This provides us with an opportunity to refine our skills and prioritize our physical well being."

Coach Wisniewski concluded that "we eagerly anticipate the upcoming dual in Star Valley on Thursday. It will serve as a significant challenge against the formidable Star Valley team. While competing at Star Valley is always demanding," the coach went on, "we are fully prepared to showcase our readiness and competitive spirit."
