MELENDY FINISHES 2ND AT SNC
Fallon’s Carson Melendy continued his strong senior season with a second‑place finish at 165 pounds at the Sierra Nevada Classic at the Reno Events Center.
Melendy, who placed third at last year’s SNC, went 5–1 and helped the Greenwave finish 19th out of 92 teams. The finals loss was his first defeat of the season after missing two tournaments due to illness.
Several Greenwave wrestlers posted winning records, including Wyatt Lambert (3–2), Manuel Barros (3–2), Braylon Byrd (3–2), Andre Green (3–2) and Joseph Romero (3–2, pictured).
On the girls side, Tommie Fitzer (4–2) and Bailey Prinz (3–2, pictured) led Fallon.
The varsity squad heads to Idaho this weekend, while the JV and girls teams compete in Sparks. Fallon hosts Fernley next Wednesday for its only home dual of the season.
Weekly awards: Evan Garcia (Earl Wilkins), Tommie Fitzer (Lovelock) and Nathan Anderson (McQueen). The Gubler family donated T‑shirts for the honors.
