The All-Conference wrestling teams were released by the Southeast Conference for the 2020-21 campaign and one Washington grappler was honored.
Ayden Frazer was the lone representative for the Demons being named to the first team for his weight class of 182 pounds. The senior qualified for his first state appearance last month and won a match at Wells Fargo Arena. Despite missing over a month this season, Frazer finished with a 21-9 record and racked up 86 wins throughout his high school career. Demon Head Coach Brent Van Weelden tells KCII Sports Frazer has been a staple for this program for years. “He has been around a long time. A lot of youth tournament photos from years past have Ayden in them. He has grown up a lot, got stronger, and matured a lot mentally. He has been a mainstay and wants to continue to play this tough sport in college.”
One senior will be honored by the Washington wrestling team this evening when the Demons host their final home meet with senior night.
Ayden Frazer will hit the home mat for the final time in his career at 182 lbs. The senior recently came back from injury and placed second at last week’s Louisa-Muscatine Invitational. Head Coach Brent Van Weelden tells KCII Sports Frazer has been a staple in the program for a long time. “It is great to have him back in the lineup because he has been around for many years. I have seen a lot of pictures pop up on Facebook memories of Washington teams from years past and Ayden is in them as just a little kid. He has been in the program long before high school and has won a lot of matches in his career. He will be challenged tonight, but if Ayden wrestles like he can he could have a special senior night.”
