The Summit High School wrestling season ended in difficult fashion Saturday at the 3A Region 1 meet in Pagosa Springs.
Grappling with some of the state’s best veteran wrestlers, 120-pound Tigers sophomore PJ Trujillo advanced furthest in the regional bracket before back-to-back losses concluded the previously undefeated wrestler’s season. Trujillo received a bye in the first round before defeating Hunter Bercher of Rifle on a 10-6 decision.
“The Rifle kid was in it the whole time, and PJ never let off the gas,” Tigers head coach Pete Baker said.
After improving his record to 9-0 on the season, Trujillo lost by pinfall to state championship contender Erik Wyman of Pagosa Springs. Trujillo then lost a 3-1 decision to Brody Wiser of Moffat County in the consolation bracket’s semifinal.
