Conway, Ark. – Hitting the mat for the first time this morning, Central Baptist College wrestling opened the 2021-22 today at the Little Rock Open. CBC had three wrestlers place on the day in a competition that was wide open.
Christian Richer and Alejandro Mas placed in their respective weight classes. Richer finished second at 165 pounds, winning every match until the final, where he was defeated by fall at the 1:20 mark. To reach the final, Richer won two matches, beating a pair of University of the Ozarks wrestlers, John Ward, by a 6-4 decision in the first round and beating Zane Sims by fall in the second round at 4:02. Mas placed sixth at 157 pounds, a weight class above where he wrestled last year. He won in the consolation round three over Ouachita Baptist’s Carter Bierbaum by fall for his lone victory of the afternoon. Endrick Theodore, Brian Mas, Dewayne Jennings, Gregory Pierre-Louis and Shayne Parris also competed on the day for the Mustangs.
CBC will be back on the mat next Saturday in Des Moines, Iowa when they wrestle at the Grand View University tournament. To keep up with how wrestling does all season long, be sure to like and follow @gocbcmustangs on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
