Cougars wrestler pins two at nationals
Greenfield-Central’s Carter Noehre finished 2-4 overall during his trip to the Junior National Wrestling Championships in Fargo, North Dakota, last week.
This past May, the incoming junior captured top honors at 126 pounds in the Indiana State Wrestling Association’s Greco-Roman State Finals and was third in freestyle, which qualified him for nationals.
An IHSAA semistate qualifier for the Cougars’ wrestling team in 2015-16 with a 33-12 record, he recorded 24 wins by pin.
His ISWA Greco state championship this spring marked the second in program history.
At Fargo, Noehre was 0-2 in Greco and 2-2 in freestyle, with both wins by pin.
