Wrestling Teams Swept at Coed Clash
Centerville–The William Penn wrestling teams battled in the second annual Coed Clash, taking on Indian Hills CC in a pair of non-conference dual meets Friday.
The men fell to the Warriors 40-6, while the women lost 26-17. Both meets were exhibitions as the NAIA does not allow competitions against junior colleges to count towards team records.
Cameron Hargrove (Fr., Bolingbrook, Ill., Undecided) was WPU’s lone winner on the men’s side, pinning Matthew Lewis in 4:54 at 149 pounds.
170-pounder Toyia Griffin (Fr., Nashua, Iowa, Nursing) headlined the women’s squad, winning by fall over Lynexa Adams in a time of 2:30.
The trio of 116-pounder Catherine Steinkamp (Fr., Quincy, Ill., Biology), 123-pounder Mami Selemani (So., Iowa City, Iowa, Business Management), and 130-pounder Lydia Nelson (Fr., Kirksville, Mo.) also won Friday.
Steinkamp defeated Jamesa Robinson 6-0, Selemani dropped Heaven-Leigh Jackson 4-1, and Nelson took care of Angelique Torres 10-2.
Next Up: The Statesmen men travel to Hannibal, Mo. next Tuesday to face Hannibal-LaGrange in a non-conference dual meet at 6 p.m. The WPU women travel to Mount Pleasant next Wednesday to take on Iowa Wesleyan in a Heart of America Athletic Conference dual meet at 6 p.m.
