The Whippet Wrestlers traveled to East Troy to participate in their first conference dual meet of the season and came away with a very nice 51-23 victory to start off the conference season. Whippets picking up wins in the dual included Ema Aranda, Jarvis Porcaro, Connor Friend, Traysen Thomason, Odair Porras, Sebastian Cuellar, Jesus Barajas, Payton Lyon, and Junior Soto. The entire team wrestled well in the dual which was a great start to the evening.

After the win against East Troy, the team closed out the evening with a non-conference dual meet against New Berlin. This was a very tough dual meet with the Whippets down 12-36 with five weight classes to compete. Connor Friend got the ball rolling with a pin at 138, and the team did not slow down going into the last match of the evening at 165 pounds. The Whippets were down 33-36 needing a major decision or better to seal the victory. Sebastian Cuellar came out against a very tough opponent that was back and forth with two very athletic students. Sebastian had a big move to start the 2nd period going up 7-1. He then was able to secure a pin, thus erupting the Whippet bench and bringing home the 39-36 victory.

The wins on the evening improved the Whippets to 5-1 on the season heading into the winter break. The team is next in action on Friday and Saturday, December 29 and 30, hosting the Mid-States Wrestling Tournament at the UWW campus. This event will include 41 teams from Wisconsin and Illinois.
