The arctic blast arriving in Fremont County lowered the team count to just a dozen schools at the annual Don Runner Memorial Wrestling Tournament at Pavillion this week. Originally scheduled for two days, the meet was consolidated into a Friday only competition.
Named in honor of Wind River wrestler Don Runner who died tragically in a car accident just a few weeks after graduating in 1977, the tournament brings in teams from all three classifications from across the state when the road conditions and weather allows.
The host Wind River girls edged Thermopolis 64-62 for the team title, while Lovell edged Riverton 168.5 to 161 for the boys crown.
Four boys and three girls were crowned champions at the event.
Lander’s Coaltyn Laird won at 113 pounds, Riverton senior Talon Thoman was the 150 pound champion and Wind River’s Isaac Gardner won the 165 pound division.
Dubois senior Wyatt Trembly remained unbeaten on the season winning the 190 pound division.
Shoshoni sophomore Brueklyn Truempler won a competitive 125 pound division, while teammate Lacoda Kiser took the 140 pound championship.
Aaliyah Martin won the 235 pound class.
