Mustangs compete in state finals

The best wrestlers in the state met up at Ford Field in Detroit last Friday and Saturday. Munising had two grapplers make the trip, competing in the Division 4 portion of the tournament: Korbyn Smith and Cayden Wieczorek.

Smith wrestled in the 144-pound weight class. He lost his first match to Aidan Taylor of Union City on a first-period pin. In his next bout, he was pinned midway through the third period by Aiden Turner of Perry.

Cayden Wieczorek was competing in the 157-pound class. He had the benefit of a bye in the first round, but he fell in the next round on a tech fall to Cliff Jones of Clinton. In the blood round, he came up short to Logan Wilks of Charlevoix, getting pinned midway through the first period.
