The Washington wrestling team saw their final action before sectionals over the weekend, competing in the Southern Iowa Classic tournament in Fairfield.Washington took fifth out of 13 in overall team scores with 129, 10 points behind fourth-place Centerville.  Some Demon wrestlers had quite a bit of individual success, including Logan Escher and Tristan Allender each taking second in the 195 and 220 weight classes, respectively.  Top-ranked Tristin Westphal came close to losing his first match of the season in a thriller with PCM’s Lucas Monroe (ranked third in the state), but got the takedown to take a 6-4 sudden victory.

The Demons will head back to Fairfield this coming Saturday for their sectional round.
