A huge field descended on Powell for the season opening Panther Invitational last Friday and Saturday. A total of 23 teams from Wyoming and Montana, representing all three divisions of Wyoming wrestling led to the second largest tournament of the season after Riverton’s Ron Thon.
Fremont County crowned two boys and two girls’ champions.
Defending state champions Wyatt Trembly of Dubois, and Pehton Truempler of Shoshoni won their respective 170 and 182 pound divisions.
In the first sanction wrestling event for girls in Wyoming, Shoshoni’s Abrianna Kiser won the 155-pound division, and Wind River’s AnnaBeth Bornhoft took first at 110-pounds, beating her younger sister Molly in the championship match.
