Plainsmen Wrestling Flattens Bulldogs, 60-21
The first home dual was a successful one on Thursday night for the Laramie Plainsmen wrestling team, who beat Wheatland 60-21.
Laramie (7-4) won five matches by fall and took advantage of five forfeits to beat the Bulldogs. In addition, the two schools had several exhibition matches after the ‘official’ dual was finished.
Head coach Stuart Brinkman said we need the mat time.
“We haven’t had a lot of matches this year, so some of our guys getting two or three matches in and being able to work on some technique we’ve been working on in practice, and seeing them make improvements, makes me pretty happy.”
