Wrestlers

an escape pulled Krug into a 5-5 tie, but Albee’s takedown with 50 seconds left allowed him to eke out a 7-6 win.

In his final match, Krug again gave up the first takedown. He entered the third period down 2-1 to G-E-T/M-M’s Justin Gappa (7-8). Starting in the top position, Krug got the leverage he needed to get Gappa to his back and secure a near fall that won the match 4-2. Krug also beat Gappa 7-5 in last year’s WIAA Division 2 team sectional.

This was Krug’s second sectional appearance. He had 26 wins as a junior and improved steadily after a 9-25 freshman season.

The Great Northern Conference will have three representatives at state out of the Seymour sectional. GNC Wrestler of the Year Chase Kmosena of Mosinee made it at 132 pounds, Mosinee’s Gage Coppock qualified at 160 pounds and Antigo’s Joshua Heuss is back at 170 pounds.
