Carver Rohman was Martin County’s lone individual champion as the Red Bulls finished fourth in a field of 35 teams at the Redwood River Riot wrestling tournament Saturday in Redwood Falls. The tourney is usually a two-day event but was reduced to one day by the weather on Friday.
Rohman, rated fifth at 160 pounds in Class 2A, won four matches to make his way to the 160-pound finals, winning by a technical fall, fall, another tech fall and a 10-6 decision over 152-pound No. 3 Luke Knudsen of New London-Spicer.
In the finals, Rohman was an 8-7 winner over No. 1 ranked Tate Condezo of Marshall. Rohman improved his record to 13-0 on the season.
Also reaching the finals at his weight class for the Red Bulls was Max Olson.
Olson, ranked second at 285, won two matches by fall and then won a 3-1 decision over 220 No. 3 Marco Reyes of Tri-City United in the semifinals.
In the finals, Olson lost 8-4 to 285 No. 4 Grady Minnerath of Rocori. Olson is 9-2. His other loss this season is to Class 1A 195-pound No. 9 Jaren Winselman of Adrian Area in the 220-pound championship match of the Jackson County Central Pizza Ranch tournament.
The Red Bulls had five other place winners in Redwood Falls.
Rylan Cutler (126) was third, Maddex Faber (113) fourth, Pierce Rohman (106) and Aden Welcome (145) were both fifth, and Gage Cyphers (170) placed sixth.
Team United (Dawson-Boyd/Lac qui Parle Valley/Montevideo) won the team title with 147 points, followed by Holdingford (137.5), Marshall (128) and Martin County (127).
The Red Bulls will host Maple River/United South Central and St. James Area in a triangular Tuesday in Fairmont.
