Heppner wrestling has busy two weeks
Girls place second at BEO Invitational
Heppner High School
wrestlers have had two
more busy weekends of
wrestling. On Friday, Janu-
ary 31, the boys’ team trav-
eled to Echo, to compete in
the 1A/2A Special District
3 Dual Meet.
The following day,
February 1, Heppner hosted
the annual Bank of Eastern
Oregon Boys’ and Girls’
Invitational.
During this event, the
Mustangs also honored
their senior wrestlers and
their families, as it was
their final home meet. The
honored seniors includ-
ed Jaime Cavan, Keeley
Nairns, Hayden McMahon,
Zachary Brown and Nicko-
las Wenberg.
On Friday, February
7, Heppner High wrestlers
were unable to attend the
scheduled meet in LaPine
due to winter weather, but
Saturday, February 8, the
girls wrestling team trav-
eled to Irrigon to compete
in the Stokes Landing Girls
Invitational.
At the 1A/2A Special
District 3 Dual Meet, the
Heppner boys’ team took
home the third-place tro-
phy. They had been holding
pace with the team that
ultimately took first place
but fell short during the
semifinals, according to
Coach Tyler Robinson.
During the BEO Tour-
nament, the boys earned
third place, and the girls
secured a second-place
trophy overall. In their re-
spective weight classes,
Zachary Brown, Landon
McMahon and Jaime Cavan
each clinched first place;
Keeley Nairns, Harlee Cot-
ton, Journey Cavan-Harris,
Sarah Munkers and Lane
Critchlow placed second;
Owen Guerra, Conner Wil-
son and Loren Trujillo each
placed third; Emilia Ca-
van-Harris, Hayden McMa-
hon, and Nickolas Wenberg
placed fourth; Kaden King
finished in fifth.
Additionally, during
the BEO tournament, a
silent auction featured bas-
kets filled with goodies
donated by local businesses
and individuals. This auc-
tion brought in more than
$1,600 for the wrestling
program.
Bank of Eastern Ore-
gon, Bucknum’s, Murray’s,
Wheatland Insurance, Fad-
ed Joe’s, DeSpain Pizza,
Roger’s Toyota, MCGG,
JJLynn Photography (Josie
Miles), Lynan Scott, Megan
Fischer, LaRae Kindle,
Sheena Shank and Kasey
Jones were all instrumental
with their generous support
and donations, as were
those who bid and won
items during the auction on
Saturday.
Heppner sent only
three wrestlers to compete
in the Stokes Landing Girls
Invitational; Loren Trujillo
and Emilia Cavan-Harris
placed third, while Sarah
Munkers placed fourth,
and the team placed ninth
overall.
This weekend the
girls’ wrestling team will
be traveling to La Grande
for the Special District 3
District Tournament, which
combines twenty-nine
1A/2A/3A/4A teams to
compete. The top four wres-
tlers from each weight class
will qualify for the state
tournament that will be held
February 27-28 at the Vet-
erans Memorial Coliseum
in Portland.
Journey Cavan-Har-
ris is a returning district
placer with intentions of
qualifying again this year.
Coaches Zac Brown and
Tyler Robinson are hopeful
that this year Heppner will
have their first ever girl
qualifier for state.
Team stats are as fol-
lows:
