PhotoFest! Gillette Wrestling Tournament

The annual Pat Weede Memorial Wrestling Tournament was held over the weekend with some very good in-state and out-of-state teams taking part. For the boys, this was a dual event and Thunder Basin went 7-1 in the duals, Sheridan and Star Valley went 5-3, Moorcroft went 4-4, Natrona 2-6, and Campbell County 1-7.

Individually, several wrestlers went undefeated in the tournament. Breckin Henry of Thunder Basin went 8-0 at 113 pounds, Tel Perry of Star Valley 8-0 at 132. Thunder Basin's Aston Leegard went 8 for 8 at 138, and his teammate Antonio Avila won all 8 of his matches at 144. At 157, Thunder Basin's Jais Rose also went 8-0 and Sheridan's Dane Steel went 8-0, winning 7 matches at 175 and 1 at 190.
