INDEPENDENCE — Iola Middle School’s wrestling continues to taste more success as its members gain more experience on the wrestling mat.
The Ponies traveled to Independence Monday, where they won a combined eight matches on the day.
Leading the way was Seth Sanford, who won all three of his matches, head coach Cameron Jesseph said.
Kendall Jay and Colten Toney both won two of their three matchs, with both of Jay’s wins coming from pinning his opponents.
R.J. Holding split a pair of matches. Blake Mittelmeier and Isaiah Wicoff both went 0-3 on the day.
“They wrestled really well,” Jesseph said of Mittelmeier and Wicoff. “They did everything right. They just fell short.”
“Each wrestler is improving every day,” Jesseph continued. “Inexperience is the only downfall for this group.”
