The ACGC wrestling squad hit the mats Saturday in Ogden, beginning the postseason at the 1A Section 1 tournament. Seth Danker (106) was the only Charger to make it through the gauntlet.

In the quarterfinal round, Danker defeated South-Hamilton Jewell’s Mohamed Yokie by fall in the final minute of the match. The freshman then defeated Panorama’s Logan Christie in the semifinal by fall at 1:23. Martensdale-St. Mary’s Cael Cassady defeated Danker by fall at 1:33 in the 1st place match, but he rebounded in the second place match to defeat Colfax-Mingo’s Noah Strohmeyer by an 8-2 decision. Danker earns a spot in the District tournament, at home in Guthrie Center this Saturday.

Danker talked about his performance on Saturday. “I just stick to my game plan. I knew that I could get it done in this meet. I trained hard for it. I just thank some of my coaches and my teammates for getting me here. I had a blast at this meet. Glad to move on to Districts.”

Head Coach Shawn Danker, Seth’s father, talks about his son’s journey to get to the podium. “We knew Seth had a really good chance. Proud of how hard he worked. He had to battle injury a couple weeks ago. So he did what he’s supposed to do and fought through it. He did a really good job mentally preparing himself and knowing what he had to do.”
