Grandview wrestlers left
Denver on Thursday morning, December 18, for the two day 2008 Reno
Tournament of Champions. The team arrived at the Convention Center
after noon and watched Grandview alumni Dan Brascetta compete in the
college tournament for Oregon State.
The High School tournament started on Friday, December 19 and the Wolves
were in 8th place after the first round even though they forfeited
matches at 135 and 171.
Grandview had two wrestlers still alive in the championship round and
two wrestlers who survived the final consolation round on Friday night
for a record four advancing to the second day. Michael Balagna (119)
lost in the first round on Saturday. Sean Burroughs (103) and Josh
Starr (152) lost in the second round on day two and ended up
one round away from medaling. Eric Wilson (119) went 2 and 2 on
the second day and finished in 7th place to match Stephen Eberle's 2004
achievement and they are the only medal winners for Grandview in the
five years the team has competed at the TOC.
Grandview finished in 23rd place with 74 points in the field of 82 teams
from across the country. This is the best finish for a Grandview
team.
