BY PCC STAFF

INDEPENDENCE - Bloodhound senior wrestler Harlan Steffensmeier captured the highest finish for the Fort Madison wrestling team when he took third at this weekend's Cliff Keen Independence Invitational.

Steffensmeier, wrestling at 152, breezed through his first three matches of the Friday and Saturday tourney all with falls, the first two in less than one minute. However, in the quarterfinals, New Hampton's Noah Fye caught Steffensmeier in a 6-0 decision to send last year's 3rd place state finisher into the consolation bracket. Steffensmeier won the next two matches to land him in the 3rd place match where he found himself across from Fye again.

Fye had lost in the semifinals to eventual 2nd place finisher Alex Rivera of Smithville and got kicked into the consolation bracket with Steffensmeier, who returned the favor with a 6-2 decision over Fye for third place.

The next highest finisher for the Hounds was Sam Hayes who took fifth place at 195. Hayes won all three of his first matches and then wound up seeded against eventual champion Tyler Buesgens of Scott West, who pinned Hayes at 1:15. Hayes won his next match by major decision, but then lost to Waterloo East's Tyrell Gordon 6-3 to advance to the fifth-place match where he won by decision of Ashton Stoner-Degroot of Cedar Rapids Prairie.

Elton Kruse, won his first three matches at 106 lbs. on Friday before dropping an 8-1 decision to Austin Kegley of Cedar Rapids Prairie to send him to the consolation bracket. Kruse pinned Collin Schaedler of Christian Brothers College at 3:21 before losing the next two matches, both by pins, to take 6th place overall.

Dayne Cordray and Ryan Steffensmeier both finished in 8th place. Danen Settles took 11th at 220.
