Mid-Prairie wrestler Josh Wallington reached a major career milestone on Thursday night at Tim Grady Gymnasium in Wellman. Fittingly, on Senior Night, the Golden Hawk senior captured the 100th win of his high school career with a pinfall against Tyrrell Hughes of Wilton. He spoke after the meet about the accomplishment. “I knew we were getting close but I didn’t know that my 100th win could be today. They did a good job keeping that a secret from me. It feels really good to get my revenge on that guy after he beat me last week and to get my 100th win. It feels like it was just my freshman year and that time goes by so fast. It feels good to do it, especially against that kid. The home crowd really put it over the top.”
The Mid-Prairie Golden Hawk wrestling team is back in action Thursday when they travel to Mount Pleasant for a non-conference triangular against Fort Madison and the Panthers. The Golden Hawks come into the night with a 3-5 dual record on the season. Mid-Prairie was last in action on Saturday when they won the team title at the Colton Allen Memorial Tournament at Tim Grady Gymnasium in Wellman by a half point over Alburnett, led by individual champions Cael Garvey at 195lbs and Josh Wallington at 220lbs. Mid-Prairie’s last dual action was a week ago at home where they fell to Monticello 46-36 and Iowa City Regina 39-36 in a River Valley triangular.
