Athenians place third at North Putnam Invite
The Crawfordsville wrestling team went 3-1 on the day, and placed third at the North Putnam Invitational. The Athenians defeated Parke Heritage 66-3, North Vermillion 71-6, South Vermillion 42-34, and fell to Central Catholic 50-30.
“We were definitely a little flat against Central Catholic in round two, and it cost us,” Crawfordsville coach Chris Ervin said. “I felt like we responded well and had good intensity in the last two rounds against North Vermillion and South Vermillion. One thing that our young team needs to learn is how to approach every match, every round, with the same intensity and mental preparation. Hopefully, that is a lesson learned today.”
