Hood River Valley, led by individual champions Connor and Carson Farlow, wrestled to a runner-up team finish at the 19-team Pendleton Red Lion Invitational on Dec. 21 at the Pendleton Convention Center.
Hood River Valley’s girls wrestling team had its best showing this season to date with a fourth-place finish at the Pendleton Red Lion Invitational on Dec. 21 at the Pendleton Convention Center.
Hood River Valley won six of eight wrestled matches enroute to a 63-18 Dec. 15 dual win over visiting Milwaukie High, and a few days later, Connor Farlow highlighted HRV’s performances at the weekend Liberty tourney in Hillsboro.
At Liberty, the Eagles placed 14th out of 23 teams with 109 points. Farlow continued his stellar season with a runner-up finish at 113 pounds. Farlow pinned his way through three rounds before running into junior Jeremiah Wachsmuth of Clackamas in the final. Wachsmuth was second in the 2022 Class 6A state tournament at 106 pounds and earned a first-round fall over Farlow for the Liberty title.
Columbia High won one of four boys dual wrestling matches at a home tourney this past weekend in White Salmon.
Hood River Valley’s girls wrestling team was 10th out of 18 teams at Saturday’s Tyrone S. Woods Memorial tourney at Oregon City High.
By most standards, back-to-back second-place finishes in the state playoffs are reason to celebrate. But when the bar is raised, as is the case with the Hood River Valley boys water polo program, a bitter taste sometimes lingers with being “runner-up”.
