On Saturday, November 29, Liberal Wrestling Club had 10 wrestlers compete at

Panhandle Nationals in Amarillo, TX. There were wrestlers from multiple states including

Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado and more. Over 100 teams were

represented. Liberal Wrestling Club placed 25th as a team with only 10 competitors while other

teams in the top 25 had 20-50 wrestlers competing.

“It was a long day of wrestling. The first session started at 7:50 AM and the second

session did not end until after midnight. Luckily, LWC finished up around 10 PM. Our wrestlers

performed so well and I am so proud of what we accomplished while we were there,

” Coach

Krista Holcomb said.

Liberal Wrestling Club had 3 first place finishes. For wrestlers competing in Open and

Girls, the prize to take home was a belt. Claiming our first belt was Kendall Mosttler with 2 pins

for the day. Mosttler wrestled up in weight with both of the wrestlers weighing much more than

she did. Easton Lopez claimed the second belt for the team, which makes this 2 belts he has

earned in the last year. Lopez had a lot of tough competition and ended his day with 1 pin, 1

tech fall and a major decision. Bringing home the third belt for the team was Jason Fraire who

finished his day with 2 quick pins.

Other results are as follows:

Nathan Boese, DNP

Jacobie Fraire, 2nd, 1 pin

Alyvia Holcomb, 3rd, 2 pins

Ian Holcomb, 6th

Alain Perez, 6th

Haley Zabel, 2nd, 2 pins

Emanuel Zetino, 6th, 1 pin
