Liberal Wrestling Club Competes in Canyon TX

On Saturday, January 14, 2023, Liberal Wrestling Club took 8 wrestlers to Canyon, TX for the Eagle Takedown Tournament.

Jayden Heronemus came home with a first place medal that was well deserved. He went up against an opponent who had an undefeated record for the year and was 27.2 pounds heavier than him. There were obvious concerns going into this first match. The two wrestlers went all three rounds and Heronemus won by decision 8-5. Heronemus then pinned his next two opponents.

“Being Jayden’s second year, he has accomplished some great things. He got invited to the National Freestyle tournament last year. He had a 24-3 record for his middle school season and this weekend he took on the giant and won in Texas,” Coach Bill Holcomb stated.
