MARSHFIELD – Marshfield senior wrestler Justin Sternweis knocked off the No. 2-ranked wrestler in the state at 182 pounds, beating Ryan Cone 2-1 for his second big win of the week.

However, it was one of only four wins for the Tigers as they dropped a 60-15 decision to Wisconsin Rapids in a Wisconsin Valley Conference dual meet Thursday night at Marshfield High School.

Sternweis beat the top-ranked Division 3 wrestler at 170 pounds last Saturday.

The Tigers’ Mitch Hertel also beat a state-ranked opponent on Thursday, beating Ben Campbell 3-1 at 132 pounds in the opening match of the dual.

Rapids responded with five straight wins, four by pin and one by forfeit, to open up a 30-3 lead.

Marshfield’s Devon Klement won 6-0 over Killian Carter at 113 pounds and Luke Mahoney won by forfeit at 120 for the Tigers’ other two wins.

Marshfield competes at the Freedom Invitational on Saturday.
