SYRACUSE – The Sherburne-Earlville Marauders sent four wrestlers to the Section III Division II Championship tournament on Saturday, held at SRC Arena on the campus of Ononadaga Community College. Of the four, three made it to the finals and all finished as runner-ups in their respective weight classes.
Morgan Lakin landed in the 160 pound championship bout after 15-0 technical fall over Camden’s Tyler Pelton and a first period pin against second-seeded Marshall Coe of South Jefferson/Sandy Creek. Lakin needed just 1:37 to take down the higher seeded wrestler and move into the finals.
Lakin then went up against Jacob Null of Dolgeville, the top seed of the bracket. Null controlled the match from the start, winning by tech fall with a score of 16-1.
At 182 pounds, S-E’s Ethen Eldred was the second seed of the weight class. With back-to-back pins at 1:21 in each of his first matches, Eldred defeated Morrisville-Eaton’s Eric Warner and Ayden Slack of Phoenix.
