Chapin Wrestlers Fight Hard to Finish Fourth
in Silver Fox Invitational

On December 11-12, the Chapin Eagles, lead by First Place finishers Taylor Cabe and Hank Manos, wrestled tenaciously in a field of 17 teams to finish fourth, even though the Eagles did not compete in one weight class. Chapin finished with a record of 32 wins and 22 losses in the two-day event.

The finals provided some of the most exciting and intense bouts of the day. With 10 seconds remaining, Taylor Cabe, trailing 3 to 2, delivered a victory with a lightning-quick take down and 3 near-fall points to leave the mat with a 7-3 victory that brought the Chapin faithful to their feet. Hank Manos closed the tournament’s competition with a dominating 4-0 victory.

In addition to the 2 First Place finishes, other individual accomplishments included 2 Second Place and 1 Third Place finishes.
