Glacier boys wrestling picks up pair of dual wins
MISSOULA — Daniel Pederson earned a pair of pins as Glacier boys wrestling picked up dual wins over Missoula Big Sky and Missoula Hellgate Thursday.
Pederson took just 17 seconds to pin Hellgate’s Linus Peterson at 215 pounds as the Wolfpack earned a 54-16 win over the Knights.
Against Big Sky, Pederson pinned Trey Thomas in 1:23 as Glacier earned a 42-35 victory.
“This was a total team win against Big Sky, Silas Chapman, Dilon Sams, Daniel Pederson, and Chase Chaffin all getting big wins for us,” Glacier coach Ross Dankers said. “It feels good to flip this dual. Week one they beat us pretty handily, and to come back and flip that score this time of year really shows the amount of work these kids have been putting in!”
Chapman (150), Sams (138) and Chaffin (190) all earned pins for the Wolfpack against the Eagles. Glacier also got six points from Aidan Sweat (118) and Mark Ahner (175).
Matthew Ahner (165) and Noah Horn (285) picked up pins for the Wolfpack against Hellgate.
