VERONA - The Monroe wrestling team had four wrestlers go unbeaten to take second place in the Verona Duals on Saturday.
The quartet of wrestlers that went 5-0 includes senior Cole Murray at 138 pounds, junior Sam Kind (160), junior Dempzy Foley (170) and senior Hayden Arneson (195).
The Cheesemakers (7-4, 1-0 Badger South) finished the Verona Duals 4-1. Monroe rolled to a 64-12 win over Verona and slipped by Lake Geneva Badger 39-31.
Oconomowoc, the champion, edged the Cheesemakers 34-32. The Cheesemakers cruised to a 49-27 win over Watertown and beat Waukesha South 60-14.
"They were all big Division 1 schools we wrestled," Monroe coach Tom Witt said. "I knew we could beat Verona because we saw their wrestlers at Bi-State. I know Oconomowoc is always tough. I was hoping to go 3-2. Top to bottom our kids wrestled well."
Murray, at 138 pounds, had three pins. The closest match for Murray came in a 3-0 win over Lake Geneva Badger's Brandon Martinez.
Kind (160) had one pin and won two major decisions. In his closest match, Kind clipped Waukesha South's Dawson Sayles 3-1. At 170, Foley was dominant posting five pins. Arneson (195) was just as impressive racking up five pins.
The Cheesemakers had five wrestlers finish 4-1 including David Andrews (120), freshman Patrick Rielly (152), senior Isaac Allen (182), freshman Bodie Minder (220) and senior Kyle Walter (heavyweight).
Andrews had four pins. The only match he lost came to Watertown's Edward Wilkowski, who is ranked seventh in Division 1. Wilkowski pinned Andrews in 3:15. Walter, ranked fifth, only loss came to Jose Garcia, who is ranked 10th in Division 1. Garcia pinned Walter in 2:46. Allen posted four pins. His only loss came to Oconomowoc's Theo Ringold who beat him 14-6. Minder had two pins and pulled out a 2-0 win over Oconomowoc's Alex Schmidt.
Monroe will host Fort Atkinson in a Badger South Conference dual meet on Friday.
"It will be a tight dual," Witt said. "It will probably come down to who stays off their back."
