The Austin wrestling team lost a pair of duals losing by a score 63-9 to Faribault and it lost 65-3 to Rochester Mayo in Ove Berven Gym Thursday.
Sean Donovan put up a solid performance on senior night for the Packers as he grabbed a 2-0 lead in the first period over Mayo’s Brennan Nelson. Donovan controlled the match and hung on to win 2-0 at 126-pounds.
Donovan was the lone senior competing for the Packers in the varsity dual.
“It felt pretty good to win. I just had to be patient,” Donovan said.
It’s been a tough year for the Packers (0-7 overall), but they’ve tried to make the most of it.
