The Archers also crowned 2 champions on the day as well. Sophomore Skyler Octaviano was crowned champion at 138 pounds to capture the first individual tournament championship of his career. Octaviano ended his day with 4 wins to only 1 loss and 2 pins.
Also finishing as champion of his weight class was senior Eli Reinhart at 157 pounds. Reinhart was perfect on the day with a 5-0 record and 5 pins. To go along with his perfect record, Reinhart also captured his 100th win as an Archer wrestler in high school. This makes him only the 2nd wrestler in school history to reach 100 wins in a career and puts him 2nd overall in total wins program history.
Congratulations to all of the Archer wrestlers for their accomplishments this past weekend and we wish you the best as you start your season. Good luck and GO ARCHERS!!
