The Westfield wrestling team won its regular-season finale on Thursday, traveling to Harrison and toughing out a 37-36 dual meet victory.
The Raiders had recently won the North Central Conference championship and got early momentum due to their Senior Night, but the Shamrocks responded and took the lead, eventually winning eight matches. Hank Temples, wrestling at 160 pounds, came back after giving up the first takedown and got a decision win to give Westfield breathing room to solidify the win.
Four Shamrocks won matches by fall: Porter Temples (at 113), Jake Saez (at 132), Ike O’Neill (at 145) and Jonathan Tanner (at 220). In addition to Hank Temples, decision victories came from Keegan Carson (at 106), Chase Camire (at 126) and Eli Frei (at 195).
Westfield will now prepare for the sectional, which takes place next Saturday (Jan. 28) at Frankfort.
