PIPESTONE — Martin County senior standout Carver Rohman earned the 100th victory of his esteemed prep wrestling career en route to standing atop the Big South Conference’s medals podium at 160 pounds on Saturday.

The Class AA No. 3-ranked Rohman improved his seasonal record to 27-0 by reeling off three consecutive wins to strike gold in steering the short-handed No. 8-ranked Red Bulls to fourth place in the 13-team standings in Pipestone.

Class A No. 2-ranked Jackson County Central claimed the BSC team tournament crown by generating 250.5 points, followed by runner-up St. Peter (179) and third-place Marshall (151). The Red Bulls, who competed only 10 wrestlers out of the 14 weight classes due to injuries, placed fourth with 125.

No. 4-ranked 220-pounder Max Olson and Maddex Faber each generated silver-medal efforts for the Red Bulls, Aden Welcome and Taylor Austin merited bronze medals, while Pierce Rohman and Riley Cole each finished fourth.

Carson Sturtz claimed fourth place and teammate Parker Meyers netted fifth to pace Blue Earth Area’s tie with Luverne for 10th place in the team standings.

“We were down a few guys, but I thought every one here today fought for each and every point we got,” said Red Bulls head coach Adam Williamson. “Overall, I thought we turned in a good effort, and it was nice to see Carver reach his milestone.”

Carver Rohman opened the BSC Meet’s 160-pound bracket by coasting to an 18-3 technical fall over Windom/Mountain Lake’s Montgomery Bjorklund in 3:04 before claiming another technical fall in the semifinals. Rohman bested St. Peter’s Taylen Travaille by a 24-8 margin in 4:09 to gain the finals.
