Connor Morin Wins SLIAC Championship Title
EUREKA, Ill. - Connor Morin won the SLIAC Championship individual title in the 174 class.
Micah Dennis and Jay Strausbaugh grabbed the second place in their classes.
"Putting three athletes in the finals with another getting third is great for our program," shared Head Coach Chad Cook. "Connor becoming the first-ever SLIAC Champion is very deserving because he's a guy that puts in the work and does the right things. Micah really stepped it up, and in our eyes did the things he needed to win, but unfortunately that last call didn't go our way. I think we have some good momentum going into regionals!"
