Home ›Jakob Regan advances from Sectionals as 120-pound runner-up to lead mat Indians to sixth place; Regan will wrestle Saturday at District Tournament
The 2020-2021 Waukon wrestling season came to a close for all but one Indian matman Saturday, February 6 as the mat Tribe competed for extension of its season at its Class 2A Sectional Tournament at Decorah. That lone Indian continuing his season is sophomore Jakob Regan, who wrestled to a runner-up finish at 120 pounds to advance to the Class 2A District Tournament to be wrestled at New Hampton this Saturday, February 13.
Behind the lead of that runner-up finish, the Indians scored 76 team points to place sixth in the tournament’s six-team final standings. Eight different Indians competed in the tournament, with the Indian point total also benefiting from a pair of third-place finishes, one each of fourth- and fifth-place finishes and three sixth-place finishes out of this past weekend’s postseason competitors.
REGAN TO DISTRICTS
With his runner-up finish, Regan will now compete again this Saturday, February 13 in the Class 2A District Tournament to be wrestled at New Hampton, beginning at 12 noon. As a Sectional 11 runner-up, Regan will be matched up against the 120-pound champion from the Sectional 12 Tournament, held in Iowa Falls-Alden, in Saturday’s first round of District competition.
In that first round, Regan (26-7) will be matched up against Hampton-Dumont junior Jack Showalter (29-6), who earned his Sectional championship with a bye, a semifinals pin and a win by 2-0 decision over Roland Story freshman Logan Powers (27-6) in the championship match. Powers will wrestle Regan’s Sectional championship nemesis, Koch of North Fayette Valley (31-12), in Saturday’s District first round, with the two first-round winners advancing to the tournament’s championship match. The District champion and runner-up at each weight will advance to the Class 2A State Tournament to be wrestled Thursday-Saturday, February 18-20 at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.
