The Mexico boys as a team are rolling and one of their seniors has been rolling for a while.

The Bulldogs won their second straight tournament on Saturday at the St. Charles Invitational and had three wrestlers win their respective weight classes. One of them was senior Grant Van Horn as he picked up his 150th career win in the process.

Van Horn was 5-0 at 175 pounds, winning by pinfall three times, by technical fall and a 10-2 major decision in the first-place match. He led the effort that saw Mexico finish with 240 points to beat out runner-up Waterloo’s (Illinois) 206.5 points.

Carlos Juarez Ramirez won the 106-pound bracket with three technical falls and a pinfall, and Kyler Carr was first at 150 after four pinfalls and a 7-4 decision over Troy Buchanan’s Evan Kileen.

Logan Hilderman was second at 113 after two technical falls and a pinfall loss, Grant Walker was third at 215 after going 4-1 with decision wins of 3-2 and 2-0 but a decision loss of 4-2, and Travis Shramek was third at 285 after going 3-1 with three pinfalls. 

Kyler Benne, Brayden Arnold and Watson Azdell finished fifth at 120, 126 and 132, respectively. Benne was 3-2 with one pinfall, Arnold was 4-2 with two pinfalls and Azdell was 3-2 with one pinfall.

Isai Hernandez finished sixth at 165 pounds after going 4-3 with two pinfalls.
