Wrestlers place 5th at state Mat Classic

Augie Allenbach pins Tucker Duranleau on his way to third at the state Mat Classic.

Colfax wrestlers Saturday finished fifth among 37 B and 2B finishers at the state Mat Classic in the Tacoma Dome. The seven Bulldogs finished with 76 points behind the impressive 286.5 points stacked up by Tonasket.

Reardan, the regional winner last week, placed second with 167.5 points.

Coach Dennis Gransbery noted the local contingent actually could have scored in third place if the points scored by Caden Noha of St.John/Endicott and Travis Knauff of Garfield /Palouse had been stacked with the Colfax points.

Knauff actually booked a 28th place for the Vikings with his fourth-place finish in the 160-pound class.

Top finishers for Colfax came at opposite ends of the scales with Kolby Sisk at 106 and Augie Allembach at 220 each placing third. Allenbach, who was stopped by Ezra Miller of Life Christian in his second match, battled back through consolation with four straight pins to collect the third-place medal.

Fifth-place finishes were landed by Christopher Jones at 152, and Dane Hall at 170. Nolan Burrill finished sixth in the 113 class.
