Senior, Ian Smith, was able to complete a perfect performance on Saturday at the Bloomington South Regional by winning the 171 pound weight class championship over Michael Biggs of Jennings County by a score of 3-1.  Smith will now compete in the Evansville Semi-State next Saturday. He will receive a first round bye before wrestling the winner of a match between Ryan Mann of Castle and Adam Mattingly of Providence.  A victory will secure a spot in the State Finals in Indianapolis beginning Feb. 15.

125 pounder Tim Willis will join Smith at the semi-state with a second place finish in the regionals.  Willis lost his championship bout to Jared Snyder of Edgewood for the second week in a row.  Willis will face John Sims of Evansville Mater Dei in the opening round of the semi-state.  A victory will pit him against MIC foe Matt Adams of Center Grove.  The winner will advance to the state finals.

Good luck to Tim and Ian.
