It was hard to find a place to stay in Cokeville for the Class 2-A West Regional Wrestling tournament with some teams traveling to Idaho on Thursday night to find lodging. The trip was worth it for three Fremont County wrestlers with Shoshoni, Wind River, and Dubois crowning individual champions.
Wind River’s Landon Rhyne continued an outstanding season winning the 106-pound division with a second-period pin over Caleb Brown of Big Piney. Dubois wrestler Sammie Cyrus was third in the meet’s lightest weight class.
Dubois junior Wyatt Trembly moved to 41-1 on the season with a quick 1:27 pin over Jake Schlattman of Greybull/Riverside in the championship match.
The story of the tournament came at 182 pounds where Shoshoni senior Pehton Truempler won his fourth regional wrestling championship, but it wasn’t easy.
Truempler injured his elbow six weeks ago and hadn’t wrestled since early January. He returned to the mat with a vengeance, pinning Kemmerer’s Landon Heaps in the third period for the championship. After his mid-season hiatus, Truempler rolled to 3-0 in the regional all via pins, including a semi-final win over teammate Julian Cabello and is now 18-0 on the season.
In the team standings, Kemmerer was an easy champion with 193.5 points. Wind River was fifth with 120.5 to lead the county teams.
