The Jefferson High School wrestling team hosted a mixer with Cascade and Three Forks on Thursday, December 7. In the mixer format, the wrestlers are matched up against opponents in their weight class and no team scores are kept. Several Jefferson wrestlers were paired up against each other due to a lack of participants from the other teams.
The Panthers suited up 17 wrestlers for the competition. In the first round Michael Mitchell at 113 pounds, Cody St. Clair at 120 pounds, Gino Dalbec and Eli Hauptman at 132 pounds, Jacob Travis at 138 pounds, Nate Brunett at 170 pounds, Drake Schake at 182 pounds and Nick Workman and Caleb Allen at 205 pounds were able to secure a victory by pin.
The second round found Rutger Shultz at 120 pounds, St. Clair, Dalbec, Jayzic Beaupre at 138 pounds, Schake, Allen and Dakota Dorn at 205 pounds getting their hands raised for the win by pin. A few matches were wrestled in the third round and Travis, Dalbec and Hauptman all won.
