BISMARCK, N.D. – Aberdeen Central’s Madyson Gillen finished second, while Rayden Zens, Brock Martin and Autum Gauer each took third during the final day of the Bismarck Rotary wrestling tournament on Saturday.
The Golden Eagles were ninth in boys’ team points and seventh in girls’ team points.
The action marked the first competition for the Central girls since before the Christmas break.
Gillen made a run to the finals, before coming up short.
“Madyson Gillen went out there and had a good day,” Bowden said. “She ran into a really tough girl in the finals.”
Gauer went 2-1 on the day in her first return to the mat.
“It was really good effort to see her come back from an injury,” Bowden said.
Meanwhile Zens and Martin each finished off their tournament with wins in third place matches.
“They wrestled really well,” Bowden said. “They ran into some pretty tough competitors, but ultimately they just edged them out. They did what they had to do and found their offense today.”
Fourth place finishes went to Kaylee Efraimson and Eva Hinkle on the girls’ side. Taking eighth for the Eagles were Ridley Waldo, Tate Huff, Mason Schrempp and Aleigha Allison.
Central has a rare Friday afternoon triangular at the Aberdeen Civic Arena this week. The Eagles will face Brandon Valley and Yankton. Action starts at 1 p.m.
“We get those two conference duals coming up on Friday which will be good,” Bowden said. “We’re 1-1 in the (Eastern South Dakota) conference right now. We’re hoping to extend that and improve upon that in the conference.”
Central then heads to Harrisburg on Saturday for another tournament.
