Bear Wrestling IAC Results and Bear Trax

Coach Katz was kind enough to send the below result for his Bears at the IAC. It is clear that Landon is building some talent in the younger classes and the future may be bright.

February 4^th 2012:

1.		Georgetown Prep	254.00
2.		St Stephens & St   Agnes	123.50
3.		St Albans	102.00
4.		Landon	95.00
5.		Episcopal	84.00
6.		Bullis	70.00

As you can see from the results above, the Bears took fourth place.  After a slow start, the Bears rebounded and got better each round. Even though we were missing 4 guys from the line up, we managed to get 9 wrestlers in the top 4.   In the placement round, we had the following Bears earn spots.

106      Seth McNair 4^th place

126      Julius Kindfuller 4^th place

132      Jack Albrittain 3^rd place

138      Jarett Witzal  3^rd place

160      Jake Harris  3^rd place

170      Andrew Mitchell  2^nd place

195      Justin Moore 3^rd place

220      Jules Desroches 2^nd place

285      Taylor Greene 3^rd place

Jake Harris, Jarett Witzal, Justin Moore, and Taylor Greene all beat guys that we lost to in dual meets.  Finalists Mitchell and Desroches, both Sophomores, lost close matches and just missed All- IAC status.  Overall, these boys showed they are going to be a force in the coming years.  We return all of our wrestlers, except for Taylor Greene, while Prep, St. Alban’s, Episcopal and St. Stephen’s St. Agnes had four to six Seniors in their line-up.

On Friday, six wrestlers: Chris Colleton, Brian MacLaury, Paul Grube, Chris Kirtley, Jonathan Holland and Richie Wenzel traveled to Episcopal with Coach Smith for the Varsity B tournament.  They place as follows: Colleton 3^rd, MacLaury 2^nd, Grube 3^rd, Kirtley 2^nd, Holland 2^nd, and Wenzel 2^nd.

As the college lax pre season begins, reports that at the start of the Ohio State v. Bucknell, two Bears were on the field, Luke Howard as a D and Sam McDonough as a M. There were no seismic recordings from the area; so it is inferred that they did not collide.
