TRENTON — Led by Carson Hibbs, the Wilmington High School wrestling team finished fourth Saturday at the Edgewood Invitational.
Edgewood won the tournament with Brookville second and Miamisburg third.
“We were very happy with the performance the team put forward,” coach Kelly Tolliver said. “We did really well on the bottom and have been working on better technique from this position for a few weeks.
“Across the board we are doing better with set ups and getting aggressive on our feet with takedowns, which is exactly what we are shooting for.”
Hibbs won three matches, including a 3-1 championship match victory. He is the fourth Hurricane wrestler to win a title at Edgewood and coach Tolliver believes Hibbs is the youngest as a sophomore.
Devon Snyder was third at 138, Alex Smith was third at 152 and Brayden Smith was third at 182. Gage Davis finished fourth at 170 pounds.
