Loehrke finishes first for Indians

Weyauwega-Fremont wrestler Brandon Loehrke won the 170-pound championship Jan. 11 at the 47th annual Cutler Classic in New London.

The Indians placed ninth out of 11 teams at the meet with 86 points. Coleman won the meet with 284 points.

W-F put nine wrestlers on the mat and came away with five top-six finishes.

Loehrke improved to 15-5 record and won his first tournament title of the season with an impressive 8-2 decision over a Coleman wrestler in the finals.

“Loehrke has been in the finals of all three individual tournaments he has wrestled in this season,” coach Tim Potratz said. “He has learned how to win the close matches against tough opponents and should be ready for a big postseason run in February.

Andy Bork (13-6) lost his first match at 285 pounds to an Appleton East opponent, but came all the way back to place third with three straight wins, including two by pins.

Oliver Radtke (10-8) placed fourth at 138, Levi Greening took sixth at 106 and Andy Pribbernow placed sixth at 160. Freshman Dylen Kicherer also won a match at 182 pounds, but did not place in the tournament.

New London also hosted a junior varsity tournament alongside the varsity tournament and six W-F wrestlers competed in the event. Placing first at 182# was junior Wes Chmielewski placed first at 182, Miranda Arndt took second at 106 and Eddie Wohlt and David Johnson placed third.

W-F’s rescheduled match with Campbellsport originally set for Jan. 14 was postponed due to the weather. The Indians will return to Central Wisconsin Conference competition at 7 Thursday, Jan. 16, by hosting Rosholt.
