COMPLETE TOURNAMENT RESULTS
OREGON CITY –
Elias Corona and
Zach Keinonen led the charge on an encouraging day for Southern Oregon's true freshmen, coming away from the Clackamas Open as titlists on Sunday.
The Raiders sent a group of 20 wrestlers to the tournament and had nine top-three placers. Two more freshmen,

Carson Gooley (197), were runners-up alongside
Mikey Ladkani (133) and
Adrian Chavez-Morales (184).
Dylan Mann (157),
Kabb Christensen (197) and freshman
Carlos Garcia (184) finished third.
Corona, an Oakdale, Calif., product wrestling at 197, outscored four opponents 43-5 combined, during his perfect afternoon, mixing in a technical fall and a major decision. He defeated his teammate, Gooley, by 3-1 decision in the final.
Keinonen, a Newberg High alum competing at 133, went 3-0 with a pin and two major decisions. He won his title match against Ladkani, 11-1.
Chavez-Morales and Mann were the team's leaders in points with 20 apiece. The former pinned three consecutive foes before dropping a 5-3 decision in his final, and the latter recorded three pins and a technical fall during his 5-1 outing.
