The Delaware Hayes wrestling team continued its early-season success Thursday, picking up its second straight OCC-Cardinal Division dual-meet win with a convincing 45-26 decision over visiting Dublin Scioto.
The win comes on the heels of a third-place showing at the recent Liberty Classic, and built on last week’s league dual against Dublin Jerome, which the Pacers won 61-15. The solid start isn’t by accident, either.
“This group put a ton of work in during the offseason,” Pacer coach Kevin Rieman said. “We have a very strong group of seniors that are leading the way. It’s been a fun start. There’s lots of work left to be done, but we’re happy with where we’re at.”
The Pacers were aided by four Irish forfeits, but more than earned their points in a handful of weight classes as well. Isaac Robinson (132) and Tristan Burton (145) both had pins in the win, with Burton’s coming just a minute in.
