A second place finish in the tough John J. Harris wrestling tournament in Corning by 126-pouner Erik Freed was the highlight of the week of wrestling for the Mount Ayr Community Raiders this past week.
In dual action the Raiders lost to Corning 48-30 and to Van Meter in a tie breaker 36-36 in Van Meter Tuesday, Jan. 17.
The Raiders finished in 16th place in the John J. Harris Invitational with Shane Swank’s fifth place finish at 152 pounds the only other Raider placing.
With the dual match losses, the Raiders now have a 6-13 mark for the season in that statistic.
