O-A/BC-IG junior Cash Wilcke placed first at 182 pounds in the class 2A state wrestling tournament Saturday, February 22, 2014. Wilcke, who was the only wrestler from Ida County at the state meet, became the first grappler from either O-A/BC-IG or BC-IG High School to win a state mat title.
Odebolt-Arthur’s Kris Thayer won back-to-back class 1A championships in 2000 and 2001. Thayer won the 119-pound championship in 2000 and the 125 title in 2001.
Wilcke, who placed fourth at 170 in 2A as both a freshman and a sophomore, defeated three ranked wrestlers at this year’s state meet including Kyle Fank of Independence, who was ranked third, in the championship match.
Wilcke, who started wrestling in kindergarten, has won several AAU titles. He noted the high school championship is something special.
“It felt great to have all the hard work pay off,” said Wilcke. “The AAU titles are cool, but the high school tournament is a completely different level. It is the best feeling ever to win at a higher level.”
Wilcke finished the season with a 48-1 record. He said he is looking forward to the opportunity to win a second title next season.
The results of Wilcke’s state matches were:
Cash Wilcke (182): Championship first round—won by fall in 1:58 over Chase Reising of Oelwein; quarter finals— won by fall in 1:58 over Phiron Peterschmidt (ranked fourth) of Mid Prairie of Wellman; semi finals—won 5-2 over Riley Hasken of Dubuque Wahlert (ranked eighth); finals—won 2-1 over Kyle Fank of Independence (ranked third).
