MADISON — In front of a sold out Kohl Center, West Bend West’s Connor Mirasola earned a standing ovation Saturday night becoming just the 28th wrestler in Wisconsin history to etch their name into the four-timers club.
However, his fourth-state individual title did not come in the way he was hoping for.
Hudson's Ethan Winkleman medically forfeited the 190-pound championship match due to a knee injury, which automatically gave Mirasola the title.
"I wanted to go out there and wrestler and put on a show for my fourth, but feels pretty good to getthe fourth I guess," Mirasola told TMJ4 Sports.
While not in the fashion that he wanted, Connor's twin brother Cole won the heavyweight title in a 7-4 decision over Appleton North’s Brock Arndt to earn his third-straight individual title.
West Bend West had a total of three state champions Saturday night with junior Ethan Bast winning the 113-pound title match with a 9-1 major over Menomonie's Brayten Casey.
