MOORHEAD, Minn. – Saint John's junior wrestlers Connor Krueger (Superior, Wis.) and Aidan Wayne (Maple Grove, Minn./Osseo) were crowned champions and two others finished in the top five at Concordia-Moorhead's Cobber Last Shot Invitational on Saturday, Feb. 7.

Krueger went 3-0 to win the 133-pound bracket and improve to 19-1 this season. He started his day with a pair of bonus-point victories – a 17-1 technical fall and 10-2 major decision – and edged Concordia's Kie Anderson 3-2 for the title. Krueger recorded a second-period takedown, surrendered an escape and a penalty for stalling with 13 seconds left in the match.

Wayne reached 30 wins (30-4 record) with a 3-0 record to take the title at 197 pounds. He registered his team-leading 16th and 17th pins of the season and posted a 7-3 decision over Concordia's William Freking in the championship match.

Freshman Dallas Sibbet (Big Lake, Minn.) followed Krueger and Wayne to the championship bout at 141 pounds with two pins. The Cobbers' Jack Major handed him a pin of his own, however, for the title and is now 10-6.

Sophomore Dominic Smith (Maple Grove, Minn./St. Michael's, N.M.) claimed fifth place with a 4-2 record at 149 pounds and is now 21-15 on the year.

The Johnnies host Ridgewater for a 7 p.m. dual on Friday, Feb. 13, in Sexton Arena.
