Eli Pace/Steamboat Pilot & Today
Kicking off its wrestling season, Soroco hosted its home tournament on Saturday, Dec. 10, with all Routt County high schools in attendance.
It was the Hayden Tigers that put up the strongest local performance on the back of Chase Preston’s win at 113 pounds and Cody Hawn’s undefeated day at 190. Hayden also had several third-place finishes to score 161 points as a team and earn second in the tournament.
The Sailors and Rams also displayed strong performances including Steamboat’s Cole Muhme who defeated Eagle Valley’s Logan Haffele by way of fall in 1 minute and 12 seconds, earning him a spot in the 126-pound final.
Muhme would go on to lose that final round to a different Eagle Valley opponent, Robert Cole Good, in a tight 7-6 decision.
Soroco’s top boys finisher was Aiden George who took third with a forfeit victory.
The Ram’s biggest stars of the day came on the women’s side. Makala Iacovetto earned second following an incredible day with a 4-1 record.
Larhae Whaley dazzled the crowd to start her season winning all three rounds by fall in the 115-pound weight class.
