Two wrestlers repeated as champions.

The team wasn’t able to do the same.

The Jay County High School wrestling team had three individual champions, including two for the second year in a row, as it was runner-up Saturday in the East Central Indiana Classic it hosted.

Oak Hill won the 16-team tournament with a score of 227.5 points. Jay County totaled 193 for second, and Delta was third with 151 points.

Sophomore Mason Winner, a champ last year at 145 pounds, pinned his way to the title at 160 this season. He deposited Spencer Ashburn of Delta in 1 minute, 22 seconds, before a 62-second pin of Jackson Franklin of Monroe Central. In the semifinal, Winner (21-1) took care of Wes-Del’s Will Swanson in 2:27 before a pin of Coldwater’s Seth Obringer in 98 seconds.

Gaven Hare, a senior, successfully defended his 220-pound championship. He received a forfeit in the opening round before earning a 12-4 major decision over Oak Hill’s Travis Dowling. In the semifinal, Hare (17-4) pinned Monroe Central’s Kobe Brown in 1:52 before a 7-4 decision over Churubusco’s Reese Wicker.

Chandler Chapman finished first at 170 pounds for his first ECIC title. After an opening-round forfeit, he beat Delta’s Sebastian Brown by a 21-8 major decision, and reached the title match by pinning Monroe Central’s Kameron Caldwell in 3:10. Chapman (17-4) claimed the crown with a pin of Oak Hill’s Bradley Rosman in 3:32.

Thomas Hemmelgarn reached the 152-pound championship match but lost.

Also finishing in the top eight for Jay County were Nathaniel Lykins (third – 195 pounds), Zakk Atkins (fourth – 120), Mitchell Frasher (fifth – 182), Kaimen Sanders (sixth – 132), Jordan Schricker (sixth – 145), Taylor Klarer (seventh – 113) and Dylan Racster (eighth – 106).
