Austin High’s wrestlers won once but lost twice in the Eastview Invitational on Saturday.

The Packers easily handled St. Cloud Tech, 40-18, but then lost to Paynesville, 39-24, and to Eastview, 37-28.

Austin now is 12-4 for the season, and stands at 4-2 in the Big 9. The Packers finished fourth in the tournament, its highest ever at Eastview.

Keys for Paynesville’s win were the string of pins in the middle and getting wins at 160 and 171. Paynesville’s Scott Braun and Austin’s Willie Clennon were tied at 2-2 entering the third period and Packer Todd Krupicka was leading 4-0 when he was reversed and pinned.

The keys to Eastview’s win were at 112 and 130. Austin’s Spencer Wolner and Matt Adwell previously had beaten their opponents twice this season, but lost in this tournament.

In addition, Eastview’s pins at 145, 160, 171 and 189 were vital for its win.

The Packers’ David Carroll, Mike Cunningham and Brian Heimer all went 3-0 for the day.
